By the end of season, Frank Gore has a chance to move into top 5 all-time in career scrimmage yards. Every player currently ahead of him is in HOF. Simply amazing:
Rice 23,540
E. Smith 21,579
Payton 21,264
Faulk 19,154
Tomlinson 18,456
Sanders 18,190
Gore 18,054
Gore has had an amazing career though after the injury he had in college.
The only 3 players with more career rush yards than Frank Gore are Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, and Emmitt Smith - and if Gore were to play one more year, he'd have a great chance at passing Sanders to move up to #3 all time.
He was never an ELITE player - but his consistency was remarkable for his position. He is 14 years into his career now and is still producing.
Frank Gore is a HoFer.
If you're the type of person who looks at statistics, then yes, he should be.
The problem is the the HoF is a mixed bag of both.
Personally I say no, but thats just my opinion.
Sure, let's make him the ONLY RB in this group to not be in the HoFer. Makes sense.
1. Emmitt Smith+ 18,355 1990-2004 2TM
2 Walter Payton+ 16,726 1975-1987 chi
3 Barry Sanders+ 15,269 1989-1998 det
4 Frank Gore 14,329 2005-2018 3TM
5 Curtis Martin+ 14,101 1995-2005 2TM
6 LaDainian Tomlinson+ 13,684 2001-2011 2TM
7 Jerome Bettis+ 13,662 1993-2005 2TM
8 Eric Dickerson+ 13,259 1983-1993 4TM
9 Tony Dorsett+ 12,739 1977-1988 2TM
10 Adrian Peterson 12,615 2007-2018 4TM
Frank Gore has averaged 4.8 yards from scrimmage per touch in his career.
Curtis Marin averaged 4.4.
Try something else.
He is a lock.

Well said

^This. His longevity is amazing.
The convo begins and ends with that statement. He absolutely is.
RB is a grueling position with the pounding you take. Furthermore, Gore has been a productive receiver as he starts to close in on 500 catches. And he's close to 100 total TDs.
I vote Gore in - no problem.
He is a first ballot hall of famer.

Adrian Peterson: 27th in YDS from Scrimmage
Fraqnk Gore: 7th in YDS from Scrimmage
Who do you think is more HOF-worthy at this moment?

That's not the point. It's whether Gore is worthy of the HoF. Not whether Gore is more or less worthy vis-a-vis Peterson...

Exactly. That's precisely how I would've answered you.
Got respect for him, but he was not a great player. HoF is getting watered down by such an inclusion.
James get dinged because he had his best years with the Colts when they were loaded offensively. Theory being Manning's passing brilliance made James's job immensely easier.
Personally, I think he was fantastic, too.
I think Gore is deserving, but I do think he's an extreme case of longevity being the main reason they make the hall.
For example, would you rather Barkley ended up having the career of Tiki or Frank Gore?
Give me Tiki’s career because those 5 years of elite play made a bigger difference in winning games than those extra seasons of above-average accumulation.
The guy was an animal pre-Harbaugh and managed to stay relevant for so long.
He was questionable after leaving the Niners, but since then he's proven his worth.
Gore has had an amazing career though after the injury he had in college.
Many RBs had better seasons here and there.
Doesn't matter.
Gore 2006-2010 was legit top 3 RB in the NFL playing with out a star QB, no star skill position WRs, OC, etc. and still producing. If Harbaugh arrived to the 49ers a year or two earlier, Gore signlehandedly would have carried Smith or Kaepernick to a Lombardi or two. Easily, the way Lynch carried Wilson.
The fact that he continues to produce is a sign of his legit talent with his vision and knowledge of how to play the RB position.
I'll concede the Peterson was the better talent. But no guarantee he will outpace Gore in yards. For that reason alone, gotta give respect.
Where did the years go? And where did he get all these yards?
What a low key careeer this guy snuck in.
Def hall of fame for his durability. Too bad the giants didn’t sign him instead of Shane Vereeniging or no-nothing Stewart.
the problem is he gets in if Curtis Martin does.
Meanwhile players like Torry Holt who was a more dominant player in his prime does not. As well as the backs mentioned.
The hall has become very arbitrary.
Frank gore
Take your time.
First ballot???? No way.
Yet, it was no accident that the Giants finally returned to the Super Bowl the year after Tiki retired. (And they also won that game against the previously undefeated Patriots with Shockey in the stands drinking an adult beverage.) It's a team game, and there can be players who you are better off without!
