Kirby Jackson Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That’s probably a decent place for him. That locker room lacks some heart. Gore can’t play anymore but he’s an ideal veteran option for a team that’s lost otherwise. I didn’t think I’d say that signing Frank Gore was a good signing for someone but think that it is for the Jets. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he's a little delusional as to how much he has left in the tank. It will be funny to see Jests fans implode when Gase starts giving Gore carries at the expense of Bell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorquemada Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 He'll have a couple good games early in the season then fade over the stretch, but still a good signing for them I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he has enough left in the tank to make that strategy viable. Think it's much more about fixing that lockerroom and building culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think they should make him the lead back and give him a lot of carries, especially when we play them. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Gore is a legend and seemed like an awesome mentor for singletary. With that said, I will be rooting for him to get as many carries as possible when we play him. He is beyond done as a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he already knows the offense and still wanted to play, and bills didn’t want him back. In shortened offseason probably the only place that fit. Could see him getting bumped from the 53 though.

I kind of do actually. It feels like Gore is one of those guys that will play until he doesn’t have a job. He doesn’t really care where. He’s kind of an “exception” guy. Gore is already in the HOF in my opinion but racking up more yards won’t hurt him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Gore at this point is nothing more than a locker room guy he is the NFL equivalent of the 19 year NBA vet who gets paid to sit on the bench and practice with the younger guys. I actually don't hate the move for the Jets, they need to clean up their culture a bit and Gore is the kind of vet that certainly helps and I think he is someone you would want around a young QB like Darnold. On the field I think the Bills got the last few drops of him out early last year (in particular the Titans game in which he basically closed the game out.) The last two thirds of the season Gore was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell short of 653 last season and he got 163 rushing attempts in a more legit time share for half of the season. The Jets have Lev Bell who is still a 3 down RB and will get most of the snaps. I guess it is possible but I think his snaps go down to less than 130 and if that's the case I don't see him surpassing last years rushing yards total with 30+ less carries to do so.

Charles Romes Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I doubt he’ll make the team but no harm bringing I him to improve the training camp locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 He will start out and look good. If they limit his touches to no more than 5 a game over the first 8 games, he will have something left for 3 caries a game over the last 8. Gore is absolutely nothing to fear. Sure handed short yardage guy, or a guy to run out the clock with. Having Gore run for 10+ times a game early In the season means he will look old and slow sooner than later.

LabattBlue Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 He’s done. Not sure what the Jets saw on film throughout the 2nd half of the season, when Gore looked like he had nothing left in the tank.

jwhit34 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Frank Gore has now crossed over into to Joe Namath to the Rams or Johnny Unitas to the Chargers territory.

Brian3488 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 You think he'll spill the beans on our offensive attacks and fronts? Hmm wonder if there's a legal binding contract with the player not too mention things(playbooks) to other coaches about former team or is it just loyalty and respect thing?
