Gore best of ‘Canes
By Adam Schefter

(Nov. 13, 2006)—A pipeline has carried great running backs from Miami straight to the NFL.
Edgerrin James turned into a star, as did Clinton Portis, as did Willis McGahee. Yet of all the great backs the ‘Canes have provided, none has been more productive this season than … San Francisco’s Frank Gore.
Already this season, Gore has piled up 831 yards—247 more than James’ 584, 252 more than McGahee’s 579, and 318 more than Portis’ 523.
Gore is now on pace to become the first 49ers running back since 2003 to post a 1,000-yard season. And even though he suffered a concussion during a victory against Detroit, San Francisco says Gore is probable for the Nov. 19 game against Seattle.
What has distinguished Gore is he can run between tackles as easily as he can break a long one to the outside. Gore also is a more-than-capable receiver, and he blocks well. He has an all-around game, and now, he has numbers that exceed other more well-known Miami backs.

Who said – ” why does we trade Barlow ? Fuc.. in Nolan to trade Barlow to the Jets ! ” – after the beginning of the season when Gore fumbled the ball on the field ?
We just see, how Gore is good right now. Sorry guys but Barlow doesn’t produce a lot in New York… only 2,8/3 YPC… Nolan made the good choice, even when he trade Rumph, Woods and the others… Just hope it will be Kwame Harris the next guy to move.
Go Franck go

I knew trading Barlow was the right move. I’ve always had Gore’s back since we drafted him. I never said anything bad when he had fumbling problems because shit happens and I knew he’d overcome it. Frank Gore has lived up to and surpassed my expectations so far. Keep runnin’ game on their bitch asses Frank

at first,i was wondering why we drarted a injury prone running back in the third round.but now he has proved to be a good running back,he can break tackles,he can block and he can catch.he still leads ower team in receptions with 33 catches. yes he fumbles some times,but most rookie runnings do.with more experience he will get even better.now i see why we drafted him in the third round.i just hope he stays healthy.
