ITs the ultimate in "what have you done for me lately" sport, and the social media only spreads the worst, because so many people will simply follow the bison out of yellowstone (see what I did there by tying in another thread to this one?). One person says it, and people take it as fact.

First of all, it's "Cugel" not "Cugal." Second, I never said he was "horrible." I said he wasn't a very good pass-blocker and he isn't. That isn't my "biased" opinion.

No matter how many fans want to say Franklin had a "FANTASTIC" year, the Broncos coaching staff flat do not agree with you! They are looking to upgrade his position.

You simply do not move your starting RT to G unless he can't do the job.

And we KNOW because it's been reported and Franklin has confirmed it that they ARE thinking of moving Franklin inside to G.

So much for your theory that he had a "FANTASTIC" season. He didn't. And the that's the Broncos coaches assessment, not mine. You can spin like a top trying to avoid the obvious conclusion, but Franklin isn't good enough in the opinion of the only people who matter. Elway and Fox and their assistant coaches.

This isn't necessarily the only possibility. It's quite possible they feel his run blocking ability inside is greater than the other options and that they can replace his pass blocking on the outside. They might move him inside in practice then decide it isn't the right move. Simply because the possibility of him moving has come up doesn't say anything at all about how the guys in charge think of him or his play. Maybe releasing him or making him take a pay cut would...
