Is Frank Gore a 1st or 2nd ballot HOFer?

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

He's going to pass Barry Sanders for 3rd all time in rushing yards, if he plays next year

I didn't even realize he had that many yards

Every back in the top 10 in rushing yards is in and they didn't have to wait a long time.

Always been underrated. Never flashy just hard running. Last old school RB left.

To get in the top 5 you have to have longevity and consistency. For a running back, if you get that many yards, it should be an automatic.

5x Pro Bowl. 9 seasons over 1000 yards rushing. 6 seasons in top 10 rushing. 7th all time in yards from scrimmage. 95 career touchdowns. Pretty much every player ahead of him in overall TDs is in the HOF.

I feel like this thread is done once every few months, but he is absolutely not a first ballot HOF player.

He was/is a very good player that performed at a high level, but he was never considered the best HB, and possibly only a few times would you consider him a top five HB. First ballot is for players that were elite and unquestionably the best or top two or three at their position (depending on position) for a significant portion of their career.

He was very, very, very good during his prime, but there are probably 10+ HB's since he's been in the league that had higher peaks and primes than Gore.


Probably one of my favorite five HB's I've gotten to watch though.

Have no first team all pro selections and think you can get in to the hall without a superbowl brehs

 

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

Yes, he will get in first ballot. Purely off the stats he put up

Everyone juelzing, talmbout he won't get in

A nikka finishing top 3 or top 2 in rushing yards is getting in as soon as he's eligible

 

[feelosofer]

If he retired 3 or 4 years ago. It would be arguable.

Now he is an easy HOF pick. 1st Ballot.

How many superbowls did Barry Sanders win?

PS Roger Craig should be in too.

Breh talking to phantom people. Gore didn’t make the OP

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I think only 3 RB's from the 2008-20015 era gets into the HOF

-Adrian Peterson - probably the best back of this era
-Marshawn Lynch - an all time great playoff back, and arguably most feared RB in decades
-Frank Gore -has the numbers

 

[bl2k8]

He’s first ballot question
