It’s time to stop asking why Frank Gore gets more carries than Kenyan Drake.
It’s time to start asking if Gore will ever retire.
Because he has quietly put together a 2018 season for the ages.
Gore through 10 weeks ranks 16th league-wide with 528 rushing yards and 20th among qualifying backs with 4.5 yards per carry.
Those numbers would be good at age 25.
At age 35, they are nearly unheard of.
According to ProFootballReference, Gore’s rushing total is the seventh-most in NFL history by a player 35 or older.
