Is Frank Gore a Hall of Famer? It is a debate sure to rage on for at least the next five years. In this presentation we study his career, including his best runs, most impactful plays, and his lifetime statistics. In the pursuit of knowledge, we also compare his statistics to other Hall of Famers, and examine the expert opinions of others who have considered his Hall of Fame candidacy. It is only through such a comprehensive examination we, the public at large, can gain an educated understanding of the nature of his career and subsequent Hall of Fame candidacy.
