He hasn't touched a football in three years. I know that isn't much by Kyle Trash standards, but I'm just raining reality.

He’s more than “capable” to run this offense. He’s not gonna be asked to throw it 50 times a game

Are you suggesting that Franks is a racist and simply cannot see Black people????
It does explain some of the terrible underneath throws that got intercepted.

Exactly. He had 7 completions his first year and basically sat.

This could very well be the case. My question would be how much of "just like riding a bike" conditioning applies to him. Its not like he went off and tried to sell cars for a living.
Something I didnt realize about the kid is he claims a 4.45 40. At his height and weight a 4.45 is crazy. He would destroy LBs. Combine with the great hands he shows on film he has the ingredients to be a monster.

Only because they had Thad Busby who was a very decent QB. Who do we have at TE that we will use instead?

Dude, look, Aaron Hernandez didnt start as a freshman and was a weak blocker his first two years. Just slow the roll. Id like to see him habe a goal line jump ball package or something but expecting to start is beyond silly.
This reminds me of people claiming our offensive problems were over once w signed Massey.

Well we havent cracked the top 90 in offense since then and I think weve averaged about 105th in passing offense. No TE or WR has had more than a catch or two per game.
I suppose Jordan Reed is the closest to being a contributor.

Jake McGee. He was a solid TE and is currently on an NFL roster (albeit the IR due to tearing an ACL a few weeks ago). He only played 1 game + 1 year, put up respectable numbers in a Butters/Nussmeir offense (as good as can be expected w/ those two borderline-retards calling the plays).

Tate Casey is a better TE than anyone who has played on our roster

Then he better be a quick learner. BTW, the reason that Aaron Hernandez did not start his freshman year was Tate Casey, one of the better TE we have had. Plus Hernadez was more of a HB for us.
I am not saying Krull starts but he will contribute. Not many 6'7", 4.45 /40, 255lb tight ends around.

Jordan Reed? He moved over to TE and came on pretty strong. Not bad in the Pros either.

On paper, our passing game looks pretty promising. Lots of big bodies that can win 50/50 balls in the air (Krull at 6’7, Grimes at 6’5, Pitts at 6’5, Jefferson and Cleveland at 6’2). If utilized correctly, these guys can really simplify the passing game for the quarterback, creating a bigger margin for error on a lot of throws (think fade passes in the red zone, seam routes down the middle, back shoulder passes, etc). Each of these have a large catch radius and Mullen thrives on exploiting mismatches. We should be able to dominate teams with smaller defenders.

And they can block well!! :D (just keeping w/ the theme that Law is trying to ram down our throats)
Seriously, agree w/ you. We have some big bodies at WR - and a few smaller, change-up guys. We are just left to wonder who will get them the ball. I think the OL will be greatly improved (which isn't saying much), and hopefully that's enough to give the QB time to make reads (unless it's Franks, as he's incapable of making reads). The WR/TE groups, along w/ the RBs will be a strength. Unfortunately, they need a QB and OL to excel.

Having more potential, as of now, at positions makes the defense cover everything and keeps them guessing. This is where I hope the play calling is much better than with Nussbomb. Decent QB play from somebody and more consistent OL play. C'mon we gotta be better.

Yeah, good point, BMF. This pickup will really help our running game. We haven’t had a true tight end in a while and it will be difficult for any defender to move a guy that big and athletic. Also, Heggie returning should give us a little bit more nastiness up front. It will be nothing short of a disappointment if our backs don’t have big years.
