Frank Gore Thread | Page 472 | 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 miss this dude I hope he reach 1000 yards. Rooting for him. Biggest mistake to let him go. Always a 49er.

Yeah just look at Joe Staley feel bad for him. I know he wants to beat the sh!t out of the SeaHawks last week. Feel bad his prime years got wasted by Baalke.

I was hoping he would sign with a contender this year but I understand why he signed there.

Big G keeps on churning, proud Frankie keeps on yearning. 90 yards to day and passes LT for 5th ALL TIME for Yards From Scrimmage.

3. Walter Payton
4. Marshall Faulk

Would love to see him get 1k scrimmage yds this year. Not only would he tie Emmitt's record with 13 straight seasons of 1k scrimmage yds, it would also mark 10k scrimmage yds for Frank since 2011, or the year he came back after breaking his hip. It's crazy to me that people seem to forget that his career could've ended when it happened. Now he's played 125 straight games and counting.
