My guess is that Harbaugh and company really do not need our help when it comes to football decisions.
Rest him if we have a big lead, or when we clinch the division. Until then, we are still in the hunt, and he needs to play
Whats the latest and greatest?
I'm not buying Frank is good to go against the Cards. I don't think he's 100% just yet. I think it will be like the Giants game. He'll play for a few downs, in goes Hunter and Dixon.
Wow I got destroyed for writing this thread earlier this week. I see alot more threads poppin out about it, he needs to rest this week.

Hope he rests this week since I have hunter set to start in one league in fantasy hahah. But seriously I think the coaches are getting the hint that putting gore in with one minor injury(ankle) leads to another one(knee), he also had hip surgery in the offseason so that's literally 3 points in his body where he could bust something...

Hunter should have no problem running on the cards, we'll need him as close to 100% against the ravens.

Do we need 4 of these threads?
Gore should start and then carry fewer times. You don't want to do anything to take away his financial incentives. Would be perceived as unfair by team mates.
If he were more willing, I'd want to rest him for the week. If we have to placate him by giving him the start and a dozen carries, then fine. I don't want him carrying a heavy load though.
He's a man and a competitor. He wants to play. Let him. I have faith in our line, our play calling, and our back ups that I honestly believe that we are fine whether he is healthy or not. But I think he also realizes that he is getting older and there are young bucks looking to take his playing time. If he takes time off he gives them a chance to shine. The NFL is a harsh and unforgiving place, there are always people trying to get your jobs. I guarantee he plays every snap he can until they physically drag him off the field. Thats just his style. And I love Gore. Just let the guy go until he can't. Were better with him, but we wont see a huge drop off without him. Is what it is.
