Default Frank Gore

I doubt most people have even heard of him. He is now the #3 all time NFL rusher.

He's been very durable over the years, hardly missing a game. Given the beating RBs take it's always a surprise when someone plays 15 years, most of them as a bell cow back.

Gore also just passed Marshall Faulk into 4th All-Time for Yards from Scrimmage. Very durable, very under-rated. A tough, tough guy.

I still remember when he tore up his knee at Miami - I thought he was done.

however...

Barry Sanders is still the best I ever saw.

Not to diminish Sanders, but I'd go with Bo.

Frank Gore is an outstanding, workman running back. Should be a Hall of Famer.

Small sample size, but Bo was devastating for as long as he lasted. Like Gale Sayers but in a different way. The body was just not made to do the things he was doing for any length of time.

Not to diminish Bo, but I'd go with Jim. I never saw him play live, but I've seen plenty of video. Brown did what Bo did for a full career, back when the NFL was really football.

I remember that happening to Willis McGahee (another Bills RB) at Miami, did that also happen with Gore?

Agree on Sanders.

You may be right...I'm just guessing at this stage.

Frank Gore, and has been for years, my favorite active player. He is a class act, a leader, a hard worker and one hell of a player. You would never think he is third, but he did it slow and steady, proving you can move mountains one shovel-full at a time. Gore is great!!

And PS - I have been a die hard broncos fan since the early 1980’s, so not a homer or 49ers fan

Anyone who can play that game at that level for 15 years is something special.

Derrick Henry in last game against the Patriots best game I’ve ever seen from a rb great cuts overpowering and even decent speed- I remember bo and Barry and Marcus Allen having spectacular runs in games but not dominating a good defense like that to the extent Henry did— but maybe I have a bad memory
