It may not be a popular move — but moving on from LeSean McCoy at over $10 million per season was the right thing to do. Chip Kelly believes in his system being led by his quarterback and offensive line.
Too many times, Kelly felt McCoy was dancing in the hole instead of attacking it. Frank Gore will attack, and keep attacking.
Gore, 31, finished last season with 1,106 yards on 255 carries and four touchdowns.
