I'd like to see how many years each player on this list played. Some guys may have over stayed their welcome bring down their average, whiles guys like Barry Sanders probably bailed too early which helps this stat.

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.

how can you even considering "getting" what he said? good lord. if all time had his way, neither gore or vernon would be on this team and that tells me all i need to know

Frank Gore is currently in his 10th season so I looked at the first 10 seasons from the All Time Leaders in rushing yards.

You may want to sit down before looking at those stats.


Note: I only looked at the Top 10 All Time Leaders in rushing yards cause this is a s**t load of work.

Frank Gore IS a Hall Of Famer....

Anyone who has watched his career knows this. Marshall Faulk (another HOFer) swears by him. That's all we need to know.

With Those number, it's in the bag with one superbowl ring on his fingers. I didn't know his YPA was so high for a RB.

I always knew. Remember in the earlier years when Gore would average 5 yards a carry and have over 100 yards, but because we were being blown out so bad, they would pull him?

Well I'm kinda shocked that he's higher than Emmit and Marcus allen. I'm wondering if the difference is talent or the style of run offenses they played in. One thing is he is one tough SOB to bring down. Arm tackles by NT's and DT's sure don't. He's slow as molasses now but he is still tracking almost 5 yards per carry. That's so unreal.

No shock on being way higher than Emmit Smith, Smith was so set on setting and holding the all time rushing yardage record he played till he was 35 with the last 4 years averaging way south of 4 yards per carry.

Seriously, why are they trying to singlehandedly break this team apart just to say "see I told you so" if we have a losing season?

Kriegel made a lot of good points (in the video) statistically, and cemented home Gore' greatness ... look at the company he's keeping.

Besides him being a Cowboy, it's one of the reasons I feel nothing for this player. Looking at the stats, I imagined
what Dorsett' number would have looked like running behind the line(s) Emmit had during his years in Dallas.
