Call_Of_Ktulu Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Gore looked like he had cinder blocks tied to his shoes he was running that slow. The only real purpose for him on that team is to help the younger backs and be like a extra coach on the field. Gore is a warrior but his body is at the end of the rope.
MJS Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Seems like he should retire and get on with his life, but I guess he still finds joy in playing football and being a part of the team. Pretty surprising that teams are still willing to sign him after he showed a steep decline in production and effectiveness last year. I guess his locker room presence is highly valued.

In shortened offseason probably the only place that fit. Could see him getting bumped from the 53 though. Expand True. And throw in there that for some reason Gase doesn't like Bell. I am NOT saying Gore replaces Bell. I'm saying Gase will like having him around unless and until Frank's skill set forces him to do something else.
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Good for him finding a team that will allow him to continue his career. My concern about facing him 2x a season is slightly less than my concern about the hangnail on my pinky however. Run him on first and second down and we’ll see a lot of third and 8s. I like our odds.

He’s terrible Expand Exactly. It embarrassing for Frank Gore that he just can't walk away. And its embarrassing for the Jets that they have signed him. This locker room culture stuff is so overblown. The only leaders that matter are the ones that produce on the field. Winning breads a good culture. These guys are getting paid well to play a game. If you can not motivate yourself to be the best you can be, you won't be for very long. Its that simple. 1
First Round Bust Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 age 36 he gets 2M broken down into 500K signing bonus 250k workout 1.250k salary 750k in dead cap if cut maybe they are leaning to cutting Bell and want a vet in the room is the only silver lining I see
gobillsinytown Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 My two cents is that the Jets figured that Gore would be a maturing influence on Bell. I think he did more for Singletary's improvement than we realize. Frank doesn't have much left physically, but he's got a lot of experience and film study in reading blocks, picking up blitzes and all the other stuff that goes with the position, and I don't think you can find anyone who works harder at it. Not sure if he's going to be able to help Bell though.

The Jets have been very prudent this off-season (compared to their spending spree in 2019) making smart acquisitions and trying to build a team as opposed to just trying to collect talent. Gore isn't going to be much more than a short yardage back on the field. But in the locker room he could be a great help to help the team's locker room culture.
ColoradoBills Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Apparently Frank wants to keep playing football. If a team wants him I agree with JoJo, "Never knock the way another cat swings".
bigK14094 Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Is his son still enrolling at UB this fall? Was as of a year ago.
LittleSammy Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Hopefully he gets the yards he needs and then calls it a career. He does not need to be the second coming of Brett Favre.
John from Riverside Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Very hard not to like the guy even though he will be a jet 2
blacklabel Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Have fun being on the suckiest team to have ever sucked with the googliest eyed coach to ever, uh, googily.
