Will Franklin can streatch the football field get us in the Red Zone and Croyle would have three big targets, even four big targets, Tony Gonzalez, D Bowe, SIPPIO & Cottom.

Not to pick on you, KC Tattoo, because I've seen this posted a lot on this board.
But how in the hell does ANYONE know that this kid blocks or catches well?
Prior to Thursday night, he hadn't done anything in a game. Period.
AS I've said before, from what Hard Knocks showed, it appears the kid has solid hands. But hands mean NOTHING if you don't have the speed necessary to get open consistently at this level - because if you're not getting open, you won't be thrown the ball to show off those hands.
He's nothing more than a TV creation, IMO - and if the team thought as highly as some of you guys do, he would have been catching passes from Huard in the second quarter and not from Thigpen in the fourth.
