What place do you think Gore gets on the all time rushing list?

As you may or may not know, Gore is currently 5th on the all-time rush yards list. He needs around 200 yards to move up to fourth, and around 1000 yards to move up to third. Where do you think he ends up? I think 200 yards is doable. He should be able to get that in one season(as long as there are no injuries). I'm not so sure about 1000 yards. With the addition of Mack, Gore will play less. He might do it in a couple season, but I don't see him lasting that long.

He's currently in 8th. He needs 620+ yards to get to 5th. Over 1000 to get to 4th. I don't think there's any way he can get to third. I don't think he gets 1000 this year but I bet he gets enough to retire in 5th place.

 

1 Emmitt Smith 18,355
2 Walter Payton 16,726
3 Barry Sanders 15,269
4 Curtis Martin 14,101
5 LaDainian Tomlinson 13,684
6 Jerome Bettis 13,662
7 Eric Dickerson 13,259
8 FRANK GORE 13,065
9 Tony Dorsett 12,739
10 Jim Brown 12,312

I think this season will be his last once his contract is up, JMO. I think he will end up 5th, he will pass LT. I will go on record and say nobody will ever catch Emmitt. 18,355 is insane.

I think Gore has a 1,000+ yard season left in him.  He ran for 1,000 last year behind a shotty OL, if they improve, I see no reason why he can't repeat that and surpass Martin to take over 4th all-time.

I am not too sure about Gore getting a 1,000 yards but I would be happy if he could find the end zone more.

i agree.  18,355 is equivalent to 1500 yards for 12 years.  With the way the game is played today, not sure anyone will ever beat that

Gotta have drives that get near the end zone for that to happen.  More prolific offenses create many more scoring opportunities...see Blount (last year) for proof.
