Gore is a top level RB and every year for him is a damn good year.
Personally, I think this will be his best all around year. I can see him accumulating Emmitt Smith numbers. This team seems like it's built similar to the 90's Cowboys.
I have a good feeling Alex Smith can emulate Aikman's average career stats: 61.5% with 81.6 rating. Although, I don't think can be as accurate as Aikman. (% does not equal accuracy).
That team was built around Emmitt Smith and didn't do squat without him. As much as you want our passing game to excel, we don't win without Frank.
Although he went to the probowl, it doesn't count in terms of honors.
He was nothing more than a replacement.

Yes, but his overall numbers made him a top 5 back last year. That's with missing 3 games and being behind a very inconsistent line. Although Coffee was a rookie, he couldn't do anything near what Gore did behind the same line. Even when Smith came in, Gore was the primary reason why we won games, running and receiving.
Coffee did start that game vs. Vikings, a top Run Defense at the time. Still, you're right, same OL, but Gore tears it up! I think it's his vision and ability to break tackles which separates great RBs from average ones. And he's good at picking up blitzes, too.
