If Frank has two more good years, and can break 11K while keeping his ypg average ~4.5, he has a good chance. Here's a list of rushing leaders:

Anyway, it's not all about numbers. It's about intangibles too. Sayers is in the Hall. Bettis is not. If Frank can be part of a SB team, and keep his body together he will be in.

That has nothing to do with the argument. Question is best 49ers draft pick. We picked Terrell Owens. Who has arguably the 2nd best resume of any WR that has played the game.

Thus a great draft pick. Especially if you want to factor in round drafted like the OP stated. It's not even close.

I don't know of any plausable argument that TO is #2 behind Jerry. TO was a greek tragedy unfolding before our very eyes. It puts a taint on the numbers. Regardless, I think its weird that posters think Frank is a bologna sandwich because he isn't running in Eric Dickersons body. Really bizarre. Are we talking about the same Frank Gore? #21? If Thurman thomas can make the Hall, Frank can make the Hall. He needs to break 10K, which he could do next year. But as usual, , like many exceptional backs, numbers don't tell the story. Some of Franks best moments have come just getting back to the line of scrimmage. Payton was like that too -- played for crappy teams and would make a hall of fame run to get a first down on 4th & 3 in a hopeless game. (BTW, does anyone remember the run I am talking here against 9ers in playoffs?). Frank does a lot of things like that. He deserves every good word he gets and I can't really think of a more productive pick in the last 20 years.

i think randy moss, cris carter, marvin harrison, isaac bruce, james lofton and michael cokehead ervin if he didnt mess up his spine and retire early are arguably all better than T.O. who played damn near 20 years to get those numbers. he was a beast for sure but hes arguably the biggest headcase the nfl has ever seen and if you break his numbers down according to how long he played his numbers arent as staggering. hes still a beast tho, not taking anything away from the guy but i just dont think hes the second best receiver of all time. megatron will pass all these guys when all is said and done and andre johnson will also pass a bunch of them if he can ever stay healthy for 16 games

more uneducated nonsense.

T.O. 15 years
moss 15 years
carter 16 years
harrison 13 years
bruce16 years
lofton 16 years
irvin 12 years

Ladanian tomlinson and adrian peterson are the 2 that will be viewed in that realm instead of frank gore unfortunately
