My money says its gonna be Gore.
To me Gore just doesn't have that team first attitude, he seems very concerned with his stats more then he does about the overall team success.
Here is how its probably gonna go down. Gore meets with Harbaugh: Harbaugh tells Gore that he is only gonna get about 50% of the carries because Harbaugh believes in the running back by committee approach. Gore gets pissed and tells Harbaugh to kick rocks, and Gore ends up getting traded for a mid round pick.
who do you think its gonna be ???
why does everybody wants to get rid of gore??? to me its just stupid... he is one of our best players he isn't even 30 years old and he is an elite (top 3) power runner in the nfl, have any of you guys see the Harbaugh offense?? is a power offense he is one of the most important pieces already in place.. I may be wrong but I think you guys are crazy!!!!
go niners
I completely agree. Gore is one of the best running backs we have ever had. He can run. He can catch. He can block. My guess is that Harbaugh is very excited to have Frank Gore on this team.

There are a lot of dumb sh!ts on these threads. Gore will do anything asked of him. He wants to be on the fieild at all times because he loves being out there. He takes pride not only in running but in blocking receiving as well as being a decoy and he is the best at his position. He will thrive in any offense. If you can't see it, that's on you.

WHAT!!! You're crazy!
Horrible Pick, Ginn has been one of the better additions this team has made lately. He ranks 2 in PR. #1 is Devin hester who also had a bunch of TD from PR's.... so that means on avg Ginn was killing it.

Out of all the vets I can think of, Gore is the only one that would be a shocker without being off the wall crazy. My only locks for next year are Willis, V.Davis, J.Smith, Iupati. Everyone else I could see being cut or traded for one reason or another.

I guess he forgot the days when we had Battle and a bunch of other patch work players returning punts. Brandon Williams anyone?

Nate will be offered to take a pay cut first, then cut if he declines.

if we dump popular players, target candidates might be:
Clements - expensive, takes too many risks
Heitmann - Baas filled in well
Goldson - let him get his payday from another team, not worth what he will want
Franklin - if we don't put the franchise tag on him

I love how people on here project their personal feelings towards Gore as "evidence" that he is a team player, pretty funny. Come on guys, we are ALL speculating about that... The fact is that he has been the main focus of our offense for a number of years, receiving huge percentages of the team's touches. I highly doubt that will be the case in Harbaugh's WCO system. So the OP was suggesting that he may not be okay with that, and may have to go because of that. Doesn't mean he'll get cut, there are many ways to "get rid of" a player. If he buys into the system and a reduced role, then great we're all good.
Separate point - I think we all need to get back to the ways of Walsh - putting the team ahead of ANY individual player, regardless of how we feel about them. Montana, Rice, Lott, Craig, Haley, etc (I could go on forever) were let go (either by release or trade) long before their careers were over. It served to get us draft picks for younger players and save the team money. How many teams do you see now that overpay for veterans only to see them get hurt and not even see the field? It happens a lot. The great teams (case in point Patriots) don't wait until it's too late. We shouldn't either.
I'm not bashing Gore, I love the guy's style of play, he's a solid runner, receiver and blocker. But he can't last forever.. If we can get value for him we should take it. If we can't then of course keep him, but reduce his role so he can finish a season and be healthy for the playoffs. Same goes for every other player on the roster.

My problem with this is that until Gore has a problem with Harbaugh over the amount of touches that he gets, this is pure speculation. If we could get value for Patrick Willis(I love #52 by the way), I wouldn't mind trading him IF we had someone as good or better. That is not the case and neither with Gore. Why trade away a player that is one of the best on our team?

See the middle paragraph in my post above. Better a year or two too early than a year or two too late. The caveat is we must get value back. If we can't then of course you keep him and make the best of it. We need to get back to looking past just the next season and build a dynasty. Screw the playoffs or even one more Super Bowl. We have all the makings to build another dynasty we just need to do it.

At least I'm admitting that it is speculation and that my stance is an opinion. Others are using their emotions as "facts" to support their argument.
