Troy Franklin: Hot and Cold

Recommended Posts

Someone on here said Troy was in Payton's doghouse at the beginning of the year.  I was excited see the Bo/Troy reunited TD early in the game today and thought maybe he was out of the doghouse.

 

The rest of the game...not so good!  Dropped pass, penalty, and apparent missed assignment Payton was obviously livid about.  I feel sorry for the kid.  I know it's the league deal with it but I still want him to succeed! 

 

I'll be rooting for him and Bo to be a big addition for the Broncos even though I'll be rooting for Justin and my hometown SAN DIEGO Chargers against them.

Mental stuff.  He still drops passes as he did at Oregon, and messes up on a regular basis.  But I was delighted with the 1st quarter bomb, and how the TV Analysts stated three times that it was, "an Oregon-to-Oregon" connection!

Maybe that TD is a picture of things to come... hopefully for both of them.

Franklin needs to concentrate 100% of the time not 50% or his whole career will continue to have these kind of games.

Unfortunately, our 2 former star quarterbacks have looked rather pedestrian in the playoffs. Probably more the supporting cast than anything, but I was hoping for and expecting more from them.

Rookie QBs usually struggle in their first playoff game.  
 

Franklin is probably an ADHD kid.  That might explain the inconsistency and lack of focus.

And managed properly, ADHD can be a tremendous asset.

Franklin should have caught that third down pass, no question about it……even though it was a little high he’s got to make that catch.

 

But I wasn’t at all pleased with Bo’s reaction to it.

 

Throwing his hands up and grabbing his helmet was not a good look.

Maybe part of the problem with Troy is his ability to comprehend the Sean Payton offensive language. Drew Brees and others were raving about Bo’s ability to understand all the gibberish SP puts into a play call and he gets pissed if you don’t have it in one call. Troy may need to spend the entire offseason getting the language down.

Is Franklin having issues other than the occasional drop? Like running the wrong route?
