Not sure Franny gets to play the fourth year after going 8-27-1 in his first 3 years. Firstly, his HC woulda been fired and the new HC and/or GM would have either drafted or brought in a new QB to at least compete for the position. That presumes he wouldn't be outright traded or waived.
That old "slow start" thing just doesn't exist anymore. Guys like Franny and Tom Landry just won't happen anymore.
