I think it was Belichik who had the philosophy to put a player in a position to succeed. Franklin should never be on the field during obvious passing situations. It's not his fault he sucks at pass defense, he certainly makes the effort. He just sucks at it. Keeping him on the field during obvious passing situations is not on him, it's on the coaching.
