Frank Gore Thread | Page 451 | 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

I think he means in general. Hopefully at some point.

He's 35 man, this might be his last year.

You'd think part of the game plan would be to get him the ball to get to 4th place. What's he had? 2 carries?

You know what I hate about people who make the criticism of compiling stats? One, it's clear they never really watched Frank play. Two, if it was as simple as padding stats, why doesn't everyone do it. Why doesn't everyone run this well at 35 years old?

Coming from someone in Miami,....the crazy thing about Gore is the "what if" on if he never tore his ACL badly in H.S. The consensus down here is he was much, much more explosive then than his time with the Miami Hurricanes.
