I doubt Singletary would be playing any worse with a different vet providing mentoring.

It is debatable McCoy is done too. Both are out of gas. What difference did either of them do today? Or last week? Or the week before? Nothing.
buffalo2218 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Some people have mentioned Derrick Henry, and I would't be that upset if we overpaid to get him. Hell it helps us and hurts the Titans. Still curious to see what Christian Wade brings to the table next season 1

london_bills Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I didn't like mccoy and was glad they got rid of him.

Ha ha ha ha then why has Singeltary been attached to Gore’s hip since he has been in Buffalo? Edited December 9, 2019 by MAJBobby
John from Riverside Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 The earlier in the year Frank Gore? Or the playing right now Frank Gore? The playing right now Frank G. looks done....literally petrified of having to go into a game right now with him as the primary back. He looks slow.....he isnt breaking tackles...he doesnt have that little change of direction (very subtile....nothing like Shady or Singletary of course) thats gone.....if he goes lateral to the LOS he is going to get tackled...he probably isnt going to have a lot of negative plays but his plays are for like a YARD. Singletary however.....looks like a BETTER version of Shady McCoy. The only problem is Deven cant play the whole game. What I wouldnt give right now to have that Rugby kid on the roster in relief of Devin when he takes a breather...give me a fast big brusing north south back that doesnt have a million miles on his behind Devin next year.
BigBobby Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I think it's safe to say Gore is the worst RB in the NFL at this stage in his career. How he is getting critical carries in big games just continues to blow my mind. It's tolbert, Shaud Williams all over again.

Ha ha ha ha NO, I think the whole "mentoring" is often blown out of proportion, and that You and any of us here on the board don't actually know a thing about Gore and Singletary's relationship, other that the cliche stories we see reported. I believe they get along well, but what is Singletary going to say "I hate Frank gore, he never helps me!" Edited December 9, 2019 by 32ABBA

He’s just a lot more versatile than Frank at this point. When Gore is in there, his role is insanely predictable, which makes the offense more predictable. McCoy is having a sneaky good season. He is averaging 4.9 ypc and has 27 receptions on 31 targets. Yeah, ignoring salary, leadership, work ethic, mentoring a young rb...and so on. Agree McCoy is still more talented at this point of his career, but clearly the team thought Singletary would be taking control and didn't want to keep mccoy around for everything listed above, or other reasons not made public

I doubt Singletary would be playing any worse with a different vet providing mentoring. Alot of people think Allen has developed. Singletary had been consistently good. Both players have had the mentors and so it can't have hurt.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Marcus Murphy would have been better ten Gore. The guy has been done for 5 years. Not only is it crazy that he made a roster but he actually gets important touches for us. I get he’s been a great compiler that will make the hall of fame and I’m glad he can help Singletary off the field. But the guy is done. This is a team with big time aspirations in a league where “next year” is never guaranteed. You got to stop wasting touches on this guy. He’s to slow to be in the league. He’s turning 20 yard runs into 6 yards. And 6 yard runs into losses. 1

Yeah, they like to hang out, how much that effects Singletary's performance we don't actually know, now do we? Gore is terrible on the field. If they want to have him as a RB coach, that would be great. Just keep him off the field. Edited December 9, 2019 by 32ABBA

We all know he'll be gone in 2 months. He gave us nice touches early but that is now gone. Go out and get Taylor. And I agree we should've kept Murphy. Edited December 9, 2019 by LABILLBACKER
