No. He's good as a 3rd RB, and his ST's ability increase his value even further. He's not going anywhere, in my opinion. Those who argue that we need a RB because of Gore being 28 -- I just don't know what the deal is with this idea... McGahee is what, 31? And he's tearing it up in Denver.
Gore will be fine. When he is no longer able to play, Kendall Hunter WILL be able to take over as the starter. The team has repeatedly stated he is NOT a change-of-pace back. The league sees him as that, just because Gore gets all the carries right now, but our coaches and GM view Hunter as an every-down back. And so do I. He was a monster in college and does everything right that you can ask for in a RB - Blitz pickup, pass catching, outside running, great vision, inside running, ALWAYS keeps his feet moving. He is the complete package and I will not stop vouching for him as the starter of the future.
I like Dixon but don't trust him in a majority carry role.....what are your thoughts on Chris Polk? If we went after another RB I would like to target this kid!!
Polk is working his way into a sure day 1 prospect and thats even if he declares early. unless something major happens to Gore in the next 3 months there is no way we go after a day 1 rb, not to mention I agree with OTC that Hunter is the starter of the future and once Gore retires or cedes the starting role we will get at least one long term deal out of Hunter before we even think about drafting another big play rb
