Frank Gore Thread | Page 163 | 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

That kind of vision and escape ability can't be taught. I also think it's why could play another 2-3 more years at a high level

HAHAHA Gore is STILL a BEAST!!

what a VAGINA

I'd love to see what the coaches are gonna say to Ford when they are watching tape
trying to figure out wtf he was thinking... it's not like there was any play action to the other side. He saw where frank and all the blockers were headed. makes no sense.

Right I was thinking the same thing!

Looks like the pile up that gore was behind blocked his vision and thought frank took the inside lane....dud is gonna get sht during the film session lol

They really need to make that happen. For one, he's still completely worth it and IMO the best RB we have on the roster.

check out this "hole" he squeezes through. WHAT HOLE!?

Gore just finds this tight little spaces and boom he's off into the secondary. Much like he did when he first started, minus the trucking people head on. I remember a game where he was in a standing pile of players I thought they were going to whistle the play dead, then somehow frank was crouched somewhere in the middle, stepped out of the pile and ran for 40+ yards.

He deserves more respect then this but i guess its a start. Just like Joe, Jerry, & Ronnie were to their respect positions Frank is indeed the G.O.A.T when it comes to Running backs in SF.

We should have a rule that Frank gets the ball at least 25 times a game.

We would be unstoppable.

I am talking pass and rushing plays.

Bill kept it pretty even.

Roger Craig often had 25 plays a game.

We never utilising Frank in passing plays enough.

I wonder this myself, we do not call any pass plays intended for Frank as the main target...if he does get a pass it's a last option play

Why dont we ?, FG looks capable to run routes and has ok hands. I have noticed he has a harder time with passes toward the back shoulder..but still we should add those plays in the game

Did Gore drop a pass against the Saints or Panthers that would have put his in FG position for the win?
