[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 132912, member: 195"] I thought from the beginning that it was a mistake to pay Franks so much, but when you put it THAT way, it sounds even worse. Thompson's initial mistake was to lowball Bubba, using the transition tag, then as training camp went on without Bubba and nobody emerged at the tight end position, Thompson had to bite the bullet and give Franks a contract that was more than what he deserved. Hopefully that was just a "rookie GM" mistake and won't be repeated with other players. After that near-catastrophe at Lambeau against Minnesota, in which Bubba nearly single-handedly lost the game, I lost whatever remaining confidence I had in him. He is just another guy competing for a roster spot, as far as I'm concerned. Could Zac Alcorn, Tory Humphrey, or whoever, be any worse? Bruce, I enjoyed the article as always, and would like to hear your opinion on how McCarthy's frequent use of the tight end as a fullback may affect Thompson's personnel decisions with regard to the tight end position. Or do you think it's pretty much a non-factor? [/QUOTE]
