I thought CJ Spiller was going to be the next LeSean McCoy. That 2012 season was crazy.

I mean, good on him for not becoming the next shady?

Also Frank gore is deffo mediocre. He's serviceable. Hall of alright.

Frank Gore's 2006 season alone disqualifies him from mediocrity. 1695 yards, 5.4 YPC, on an incredibly bad niners offense (the passing attack was second-year Alex Smith passing to Arnaz Battle, Antonio Bryant, and the bad early career Vernon Davis). He was never an incredibly athletic back after his knee injury in college, but he's remarkably consistent and great at lots of things that don't show up on the stat sheet (blocking, decision-making, cutting). I've watched a ton of Frank Gore, he does not belong in this thread at all.

In what was obviously a great year for running as he still did not come close to being the best RB that year despite, as you said, a mediocre team meaning he got a lot of touches.

Weak when the team needed him, the true sign of a mediocre back.
