RB's who aren't in the hall and have had better careers than Frank Gore thus far...
Fred Taylor
Curtis Martin
Edgerrin James
Ricky Waters
Warrick Dunn
Jamal Lewis
Corey Dillon
Eddie George
Shaun Alexander (sadly)
Tiki Barber (arguably)
Priest Holmes
Jerome Bettis
Terrell Davis (debatable)
Roger Craig
What Frank needs is more years, yards, TD's, and a ring. Otherwise, he'll be chllin' with these guys waiting to get in.

It would be great to see him make it. If we can score 2 rings before he retires I say his chances goes up big time.

I say no atm, in this era he would need 10,000+ yds rushing 80+ tds, the only way I can see him getting in, if he doesn't reach any of the plateau's I've mentioned, are if he does something memorable in a playoff game to get us to a SB or in a SB.

One of the best ever if it wasn't for his nagging knee injuries....

I dont think Roger Craig was better than Frank, in fact I think he's a product of Montana and Rice

Nope! He'll be in the 49ers Hall of Fame but not the NFL Hall of Fame.

The only way Frank Gore is getting into the HOF is if he's punching tickets at the front door.........
Ok, too much....

what part of, "one of the best ever IF it WAS NOT for his knee injuries" did you not understand?
