That team in general was absurd. Sean Taylor, Vince Wilfork, Jeremy Shockey, Ed Reed

I firmly believe that Frank Gore would've been the greatest RB ever to play in the NFL if hadn't torn both of his knees up in college. People that never watched him play before he tore his ACLs never got to see the wheels. Frank could fly before injuries.

Very blessed to say I was able to watch Gore's career. The things he came back from at the position he played, it still doesn't seem real.

Before Harbaugh it felt like the only good thing about watching the Niners was Gore on offense and Willis on defense. Even after we parted ways with him he always had that love of the organization and supported us. After seeing how they embraced him today and and whatnot, him not getting a ring doesn't eat me up like it used to. Still bums me out but what a career he had.

We all literally watched a first ballot HOF'er and the greatest RB in Niners history. I didn't get to watch Montana/Lott or a lot of Young/Rice so it feels awesome to experience that.

#21

Frank would have brought us #6 if we didn't decide to pass every down against the Ravens.

FRANK GORE FOREVER

Damn right! He would have been unstoppable if he had the speed he had before the injuries. He also probably wouldn't have been a 49er.

This, he would not have fallen to the 3rd round

I think it's neat he finishes with 16,000 rush yds on the dot.

He said his achievement he is most proud of is setting the record for most games by an RB. People said he didn't have durability cuz of his injuries in college so to get the all time RB games record means a lot..

True!!

you know my favorite memory of frank gore is when we were playing the seahawks at home. I was about to have a heart attack because they were building momentum and we needed a first to ice the game. What does our boy frankie do? He bursts through the line almost getting a TD. We were post season bound and we beat the hawks.

Thats my favorite frank gore memory, there were many. Which ones do you guys remember. Brings me alot of joy when i think back to that day.

I get seriously offended and enraged when anyone tries to say Frank isn't a HOFer. Like seriously pissed off.

Am I trippin?
