Steve Young Says Frank Gore Isn't A Fit In 49ers Spread Offense

On his radio show on San Francisco's KNBR, Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young said 49ers running back Frank Gore "needs to be traded" if the 49ers decide to stick with a one-back, shotgun formation as its base offense. "You can't run the spread with Frank Gore being effective," Young said. "He's not the guy who's going to catch the ball like Marshall Faulk, and slash and burn like Joseph Addai and different guys who have thrived in the spread." Of course, 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye disagrees with that assessment of Gore, who is the 49ers' leading rusher, best back in blitz pickup and ranks second on the team with 41 receptions. "I think most coaches would think Frank Gore is a pretty good fit for most offensive systems," Raye said.

eh, we've all been talking about this all season. no big news here. the niners at this point are saying that they aren't running enough spread formations to hurt Gore's production. we may believe that and we may not.

so yea... i think steve needs to shut the fuck up. the offensive line has been playing like shit all year and apparently he doesn't watch the games. if he did then his pot stiring ass would know that gore gets plenty of chances. unfortunately, the production isn't going to be there when you cant dominate the line of scrimmage.

Gore is also an excellent pass catcher and is dangerous with space.

Young was a good player, but a total douche. What do you expect from a fucking Cougar?
