Frank Gore Thread

I've always loved Frank Gore, but I don't think I've given him the respect that he deserves over the last couple of years. It's like some of us have been trying to push him out the door before it's time. At this rate, we might have to extend him another two years....can't believe I just typed that. Dude is definitely HOF material.

This is true but likely stems from not wanting to be disappointed when he's replaced. He's already outlasted every other position on the team except punter.

obviously Frankie g ain't ready to hang up the gloves. This man is immortalized in the history of this team. Hall of fame or not, we know how important he has been throughout this last decade. I would be devastated to see this legendary back in another uniform, but the reality is he has the heart of a lion and will probably never be ready to leave the game. Enjoy him while he is here because the inconvenient truth is not going to last forever. Lets get this guy a ring!!!!!!

, Man I love Frank Gore

I don't think there's any player I want to have a super bowl win more than Frank the Tank! He carried the Niners on his back through some dark years. If not him who would you put in front? Past or present. Just curious.

If Frank Gore was on another team and he hadn't yet won a Super Bowl, and then he played us in the Super Bowl, I don't know what I would do.

I get what you're sayin', I think. Albeit ... and to be fair, it's not Frank' fault (because he wants the rock), that
the coaches -- especially in critical games; in critical situations and the run game has the opponent(s) on the
ropes -- give upon the run, and get a Serious Case of the Cutesies.

And we've all seen this occurrence, Like How Many Times??? I say leave Gore alone, and let the man retire
(somewhat) on his terms, and as a SF 49ers. Hopefully, he and the FO, will find some middle ground from
which they can negotiate.

Let's roll Gore! Have a great game on Monday night

I've been on a Mini-Boycott, of All that is The NFL in 2014 ...
however, I've learned to listen to intuition, and follow what
the little voice ;D tells me what, or what not to do in life.

So I navigated to NFL.com, clicked on the Game Pass App,
and within minutes started questioning why I did. As I was
about to click-out, and get back to more important matters,
they went to commercial break, with a Tease of an upcoming
Frank Gore segment. Interest now Piqued ;D I waited.

Actually, I wanted to post this video yesterday, but NFL AM,
rarely post video segments on the same day they are aired live.
That type of honour/exposure, is saved for players named Brady,
Manning et cetera ...

None-the-Less, here's the linkage, so Let's Be Frank:
