If they butcher this dude like they did Collins, I might not even follow this team anymore.

I don't see the reason for alarm with the Packers bringing in players to improve their roster. You get 90 players and have to cut it down to 53. I believe the goal would be to gather up the best 90 you can and widdle your way down to the best 53.

I could be mistaken seeing as I have never once been a General Manager of a football team on any level. Oh, no no wait a second. I did play Franchise Owner in Madden once. 🤔

I too would find it hard to believe. If nerd ain't here anymore, who will tell the refs in the chat on Sunday "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!" and "WATCH THE FAKE!"?

This better not be true. I love Franklin, he was such a steal for us in that draft. He doesn't even need to be that amazing either. Just a really quick darren sproles type back to change the pace and bring fresh legs in when Lacy is tired.

I never liked Franklin as a player, I have said before that in my very humble opinion he couldn't play in the NFL.

Having said that I really hope this injury is not serious and he gets a chance to prove me wrong. I would be very happy to be wrong about my evaluation and I would be very sad if an injury gets the kid out of the league.

With Harris, Lacy and Starks I can't see a place for him in this team even if healthy.

One thing this thread shows is that it really ain't that hard these days to find a decent RB.

Possibly Franklin was over-hyped before his draft because he played in LA. This Sims from Kansas seems just has good; Perkins too; Probably a lot of others also.
