He was very average in my opinion and was protected by McGeeney and the blanket defence of armaghs half forwards. He was never going to be exposed being so well protected and he played on a cross team that were always practically unbeatable.
It depends what you consider average. For example, I would rate all Down players over the past 10 years as average. That being average, Francie is definitely well above average.
