I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a disappointment. I remember seeing people say that they wanted him to start over Lacy, and Lacy has probably made himself the glorified starter thus far in TC. There is also so much depth along the position, he needs to get more reps in tonights game.
Franklin has a lot of potential to be a great receiving back, he does need to improve running up the middle in the NFL though. He will be dynamic in the passing game more so than the running game in his rookie year if Lacy gets the bulk of the carries.
Also Franklin is gonna benefit running in the shotgun with Rodgers. He took a lot of carries out of the shotgun in UCLA last season, and he was successful running out of it.
