From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I have no idea why Franklin is remembered for his fumbles. All I remember him for was the Bengals game. Shame he got hurt so soon.
Hes not remembered for fumbles. Dudes are tripping.
lis, I hardly remember him, and I bet most fans don't remember him either, he sure as hell wasn't better then Lacy, we've had plenty of RB's just like Franklin, who had a couple of very good games the only difference is they didn't get hurt, but they didn't last either.
people act as though Franklin was bound for the HOF
No one is acting like he was HOF bound. Two of you said he was remembered for fumbles which is simply not true.
I cant even take your memory seriously to be honest.

one other thing I remember is a bunch of people here thought more of Franklin then Lacy, so I guess I do remember more then just the fumbles

you act as though Lacy sucked, he didn't, and Franklin did fumble twice in 23 touches, and one did cost us a win, Sal was right about that, and If I took the time to look it up I"am sure we've had a bunch of flash in the pan RB's.

Im not saying Lacy sucked either. You cant refute he ate himself out of the league though.
And the last thing Ill say on the subject is that lets not look at Lacy like some God tier back. The dude was out of the league after 5 years and he was basically useless after 3. He came in with God given talent but wasted it and if you have followed along I hate those types of players.

Eh...he was great his rookie year, kinda good his second year and blah his last.
Us reads viewers a fur. Thats guys a weeks shared reds.

5 less touches a game his second season, some backs do better the more touches you give them.

Is there anything you won’t argue about?
You’re so bent up on Franklin and fumbling yet ever so willing to overlook Lacy fumbling 8 times in his first three seasons costing us multiple games.
While we’re at it, let’s just write off Aaron Jones, too. He fumbled twice in 6 carries his last time he took the field. He’s obviously washed up as evidenced by the ever-so-important-and-all-telling fumble stat.

Lacy and Jones are remembered more for there thousand yrd seasons, Franklin is remembered for 1 100 yrd game in which he fumbled at the end that actually did cost us the game, and thats about it, he didn't stick around long enough to be remembered, seriously just stop some fan some day and ask them about Franklin, I doubt they'll even have a inkling about who your talking about, your defending a player like Franklin over a couple RB's that actually made a difference for this team, are you NUTS?

I'm not defending anybody. I simply commented on your inability to accept another poster's player evaluation opinion when you admittedly don't even remember said player in question. It's a ludicrous position to take. That, coupled with your inconsistent application of player attributes that you use to evaluate play.
Players have bad games. Fumbling happens. It happened to Lacy. It happened to Jones. It happened to Franklin the one time he got a shot and cast a cloud on an otherwise very strong performance both running and catching the ball. Not that you remember it.

A wise man quoted this. I think he was asking himself this question but never answered it.

blah, blah, blah, your right I didn't remember, simply commented on Sal's post, that all I remembered was the fumble, and only because he brought it up, other wise I had forgotten Franklin completely, just as I've forgotten the other dozens of RB's that flashed for a moment prior to being forgotten, so the kid had 1 nice game, big deal, I don't lose sleep trying to remember stuff that happened once almost a decade ago from flash in the pan RB, how stupid can you get.
astounding that our starting ILB for 6 games last season and a 5th round pick to boot cleared the waver wire and is still in street cloths (from what I could find out anyway) I guess he'd be considered a poor draft choice
teams have seen all they want to of Beagleton, he's been around a long time, between he and EQ we hope he can stay healthy for a change because he does have more talent.
Like that we kept this Kicker, Crosby is bound to decline at some point and Molson has a very strong leg.
Taylor had some impressive runs in PS games, but so did Dexter, another situation where the team has seen all they need to with one guy and hadn't with Taylor, nice to have one stashed for emergency anyway, Taylor runs a bit upright for my taste but he showed nice vision and patience.
I like all these players and thought other teams would too, surprised they all went full circle back to us.
I think there is something more to the Kamal story. Bad Behavior? Not Vaxxed? Bad attitude? No clue, but something seems up. He flashed way too much potential to be in street clothes at this point. Packers usually take waaay longer to give up on draft picks that actually find the field their rookie season.
I think this preseason and all of our cuts coming back to us on the Psquad is another strong illustration of how fans usually overstate their own players.
It's why I don't get too worried about our guys getting claimed by other teams.

I think so to, I went looking for some dirt on him only to be interupted by telemarketers my phone is ringing off the hook but it has to be something besides lack of physical ability, ( dim light bulb)
Feel bad for Beggelton honestly. He has done what he has needed to do to at least be on an expanded NFL Practice Squad.
meh. He had the opportunity to make some big plays and couldn't come through due to drops. When you're not a great athlete and have limited athleticism, you have to show you can make those plays. EQ has also been pretty unreliable, but at least he has good athletic make-up and upside.
