I am not going to compare Frank Gore to Roger Craig--Craig was the best Niner running back I have seen play---he ran so hard--high leg kick---he almost always got positive yards--and his receiving skills were better than Gores.
I like Frank a lot---but I don't think he is HOF.
Stats can be misleading.

He's lost a step, definitely. The rate at which he breaks long runs has declined dramatically. He's still quality though, but he needs to be used properly. Forcefeeding him only worked in his second year.

Stats can be misleading, but his aren't.
If he were on a better team, he's be in the pro bowl every single year.

yeah I predicted this years ago, which is why I have suggested many times in the past to trade him
I always knew we were too far away from ever being able to use him.
Willis, Crabs , VD...sure once the rebuild is done they will have a couple of years left in them...but Gore was always tradeable in my book.
Now its too late.

Sanders made the HOF so I do not consider his career wasted.
Gore is headed for nothing really. He isn't much of a speaker so I doubt he ends up on TV. It is RB coach or bust after his career is done.

I do.
Why do you think he retired in his prime? He was sick of losing.

I was just thinking about this the other day.
IMO opinion, Frank is the best RB this team has ever seen. He's better than Craig. He's better than Hearst. He's better than Perry. He's better than Watters (by alot).
What sucks the most about this is the "Barry Sanders" syndrome. This team has never been able to actually take advantage of that fact and get it together. My fear is that by the time this team gets a real OC with a real HC and a real QB, Franks best days will be behind him.
I hope I'm wrong, but RBs don't last that long. :-(

He is very good, possibly HOF material but is not the best ever.
To your question/comment, his career isn't being wasted as to establishing a legacy. What is being wasted is his potential to help the team win. The utter failure to bring in coaches that can run a modern offense that establishes the pass has hurt Gore's numbers and, consequently, the chance to win.
A team with NFL average talent will win 2 or 3 games each year by out-coaching the opponent, not by superior talent. In the case of the 49ers, they have been consistently out-coached ever since Mooch was fired, and particularly this season. There is not a single game this year that the scheme or game plan has been the deciding factor. Despite Gore's fine year, all of that has been offset by issues that start with poor training/coaching.
