This article by Matt Barrows shows some interesting stuff. Gore only had 57% of the teams total carries through last season. He had 65% the first eight games but only 49% the last eight. With more talent in the backfield there is no way he gets above 60%.
This article by Eric Branch has some good stuff too. Gore averaged 6.3 ypc during those 5 games where he ran for 100+ which really helped his overall stats. His last eight games: 3.5 ypc and 53.6 ypg... That's pretty bad for an elite back.
I'm going to make a wild prediction and say he doesn't make the team. If he does, he'll carry well under 50% and the team will try to wear down division opponents with Brandon Jacobs. Then in the playoffs they'll give Gore about 75% of the carries and he'll dominate. Either way I'll be happy although I'd like to see Gore rewarded for everything he's done for this franchise.
