Jamie Nails Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Our three starters are nearly 100 years old combined. Has that ever happened? 95 baby!
ngbills Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 McCoy, Ivory, Gore. We now have 3 of the top 13 active leaders in rushing yards. Gore #1, McCoy #3 and Ivory #13. Got that going for us.
par73 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 A fourth round pick would be much more appealing. I honestly don't understand this one.
Slippery Rubber Mats Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I'm fine with it. Our RBs will live and die with our OL. Get to signing OL, Beane.
Green Lightning Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Well, now we can bill it a Jurassic backfield. Christ, really? How about some young legs?
Logic Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 This signing is worth it to me for the overreactions and hand wringing alone. Side note: No NFL team in history has a better all-time backfield than the Bills: OJ Simpson Thurman Thomas Marshawn Lynch LeSean McCoy Frank Gore Cookie Gilchrist 2
Warcodered Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I mean sure he's old but this doesn't seem like that expensive or long a deal.

It must be the completely against the grain aspect of it. In fairness, Gore has still been productive, even at his relatively advanced age, and the cost is minimal. I agree 100%, I'm not sure why you love this
quinnearlysghost88 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 1 minute ago, John from Riverside said: Never mind....break out the sharp objects to get rid of some of these fools on TBD HE IS STILL PLAYING WELL ITS A TWO MILLION DOLLAR DEAL CALM DOWN 0 rushing TDs last year. He'll be 36 years old for opening day. Tied with Sproles for oldest RB in the league. Sproles he is not.
BillsfanAZ Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Oh how I have missed over reactive Bills fans. Gore is still playing at a high level. He can do everything even though he is older. They will cut Ivory and prob draft a RB in the mid rounds. Calm down. 2
gonzo1105 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I would expect that Gore is coming in to be a 3rd down guy who can pass protect for Allen. Something none of the Bills backs were particularly good at. Still ran for almost 800 yards and over 4 YPC last year 3
dave mcbride Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Just now, CommonCents said: On opening day of FA you shouldn’t be spending 1 second for your day singing Frank Gore but ok. Come on! This is Early Bird Special day, after all.
blacklabel Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Not quite sure what to make of this. Despite his age, he's still highly productive. Totally different running style than McCoy as well. And I don't know if this means Ivory will be cut. They seem to really like him and he's sneaky good catching out of the backfield as he showed a couple times last year. Still though, it really doesn't fit with their narrative of overhauling the roster with the youth movement. I gotta imagine they're poised to grab a kid in the mid-rounds who would probably be overjoyed. What young back wouldn't wanna learn from Gore and McCoy?
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 This team has done some of the dumbest things imaginable over the past 15 years. Nothing ever surprises me with these guys. Almost no matter what gore does, this will be completely pointless. You could have drafted a 21 year old in the 5th round and instead you just paid 2 million to a 36 year old running back...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I don’t get the logic behind this one. I can’t see it at all. “Dawkins opens up a gaping hole to the left, you could drive a truck through that, here comes (Shady, Ivory, especially Gore) and.... ohhh he breaks a hip.”
dgrochester55 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 The current me is underwhelmed by the signing, but the 2004 version of me is pretty excited to get Frank Gore 2
