It would not be a great situation but he would be the best option. Consequently he needs to be active and, yes, he needs touches. He is still getting some tough yards on a lot of his carries. The OP overstates the case. Yes that 1.5 yard per carry would devastate the opposition???

The problem is, he needs to be taken out once he gets a carry like that. He can't have back-to-back carries. Several? Like two, he gains 15 yards on 10 carries , most of this on two carries, averaging less than a yard on 8 of those carries. The best you can say is he didn’t fumble....

He just can’t play football anymore. I’ll give him a few carries without fumbling before we start taking a knee. NEVER have I wanted to see us taking a knee to end the game than during this next game.
JROC INTEL Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Gore is important on this team right now. He's the same player that averaged 5 yards a carry earlier this season. Great ball security, effort. I haven't seen him make a mistake . I agree they need to stop running him to the outside however.
947 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) CJ Anderson was signed by the Rams last year about this time (Dec 18th), and they rode him to the Superbowl. He just so happens to be a free agent right now, and is only 28. Gore looked pretty good the first half of the season, but he's completely worn down. Aside from ball security, he isn't giving us anything at this point. Anderson would be the hammer we need. Oh, and CJ Anderson has only fumbled 4 times in 7 seasons...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 51 minutes ago, KD in CA said: What needs to be done is to stop calling off tackle runs for him. He still seems ok up the middle. I agree. He's pretty good on the inside trap plays because he hits the hole without hesitation. When he is forced to turn his shoulders, he lacks the speed to get to the outside.
Best Williams Available Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I’m not defending Gore but how much of this is on the OC? If Gore is in he’s getting the ball. The whole D knows it. They shoot every gap and there’s no hole to run through so he bounces it outside (makes matters worse, but instinct). Seems like an opportunity for a crafty play designer and caller to keep the D honest, IMO.

Lionel Hutz Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 He seems like a nice guy and has had an impressive career, but he is finished. He shouldn’t be on the playoff roster. 10 carries for 15 yards is horrible.
VW82 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I think he's perfectly suited or a back up RB in short yardage situations. Problems arise when you start running him on wide sweeps in the red zone (or anywhere really). KISS 1
Penfield45 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 we need to do something about Brian Daboll we have little to no progression of the offense under him. Allen still looks like he doesn't fit this offense (despite us winning). sadly he will still be here next season but I doubt he is the future here.

He was atrocious all night and is an automatic 3 and out when he carries the ball early in a drive. I don’t know what some people are seeing. 10 carries....15 yards. In the last 3 games gore has 23 carries for 32 yards. That’s not a joke. That’s what he’s actually doing. It’s over. Do something now while we have 2 free weeks to experiment 1
NewEra Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 He’s not just here to be a RB. I agree. I can’t stand it when I see him on the field. Just realize....he’ll be getting 5-10 carries a game for the rest of the season
Dr.Sack Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Yeldon is a good back, but Gore can pass protect & get 1 yard consistently.
HappyDays Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I'd be okay giving Gore a couple "veteran rest days" to close out the regular season and see what Yeldon looks like in this offense over the next 2 weeks. We literally have nothing to lose. 1

He goes in when we need to grind & the D knows we are running. At this point his purpose is to give Singletary a break & let the young buck rest.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 Finding a running back is easy. That’s why none of them get paid. The only thing you want is for the guy to not be old. Marcus Murphy is a FA, he knows the system and he’s better then Gore by a ton at this stage. Bring him back.
