Frank Gore Thread | Page 15 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Personally speaking, Frank Gore is my favorite player to join the Niners since Jerry Rice. Sure I've liked other players since Jerry, but Gore is something else. Perhaps it was because he was our first skill position (or any position) pro-bowl player to come through since 2002. Maybe it's that the guy gives 200% on the field every time he's there. Maybe it's because he owned the league in 2006. Maybe it's because he's always striving to get better. Or maybe it's because he's been to hell and back (2 reconstructive knee surgeries before his pro career and the loss of his mother during it) and still keeps fighting. Look, I'm aware that P. Willis is an amazing talent and is considered the best player on our team bar-none. He, like Gore, has faced tremendous adversity and has since fought through it to become the best ILB in the game. I don't deny that and I'm a huge fan of Willis. But Gore was the first player in years to come along and give Niner fans something to cheer about. Who can forget runs like that one against DET in 06 or the one against STL in 07 (lost in the crowd on 3rd and waay long, only to emerge unscathed and sprinting towards pay dirt). Bottomline, this guy came in during our darkest time and hasn't complained one bit. He's what makes our offense tick and humbly performs year in and year out; playing through injuries and all. This thread is nothing more than a tribute to Frank Gore. A truly admirable player who gives it his all year in and year out; through all the coaching changes, adversity and losing seasons. Here's to hoping that an improved passing game and complementary r-back gives Frank the help he so richly deserves to be the deadly player he is. #21

Frank Gore will be remembered as one of the best RB's to ever play for the Niners. Appreciation well deserved!!!

It can't be easy for him to play on a losing team, so I hope the rest of the team improves and gives him a chance to play in the post season.........

Thanks Frank Gore for not even attempting to lateral the ball back and taking credit for the yards you gained on the last play of the game. We had 10 skilled players in the game for one last breath and you decided to put your head down thinking you can run over 11 defenders (I think not).

Yes, it was illegal formation anyways but you didn't know that. Miracles happen and we could have won on that last play.

Lets run every play to Gore so he gets 2000 yards and that should build up his trade value.

I wan't being totally serious but you still have a chance to win in one play and no attempt was made.

My comments on Gore are rarely negative.

first guy to get 1,000 yards from scrimmage this year. And that is hard to do when the whole league knows your getting the ball right up the middle.
