I'm now completely kicking myself for not picking this guy up after he went undrafted, considering 2 of my top rbs are injured-portis and ronnie brown. Luckily I still have chester taylor, marion barber, and ladell betts.

On his first TD he got broke about 3 arm tackles inside the 5 and got in the endzone. I knew he was known as a bruiser, but never knew to what extent. Also, I was suprised at his recieving abilities. He is looking like a top 15 back for sure with all the RBBC's that we have out there, barring injury.
A great goal line back against the Cards isn't saying a ton.....you can't judge his entire season off of one game against a terrible defense.....I think for now you just have to wait and see what he does for an encore, and then see what he does against an actual defense.
I think the question for next year is Gore top 5 or just top 10. Either way, I think its a given rule for fantasy football, that whoever is in Norv Turner's offense is a top 10 RB.

That's specifically why I drafted him in every single league, specifically why I drafted Lamont last year in every league.

Exactly. We saw pretty well how Turner has boosted the value of a LaMont Jordan for example.
The only fear Gore owners must have right now is if Turner is offered a more interesting job somewhere else...

I have him right on the bubble at 5 right now. That will definitely change if Norv isn't back....
[/vent] For god sake Frank. You had 50 yards and like 15 recieving in the half Then you just turn it out to kill me!!!! Grrr [/vent] On Topic:
I think that Gore will be a top 7 pick next year behind LdT, LJ, S.Jax, Portis, Alexander, Parker.
