Frank Gore joined the Indianapolis Colts this off-season after spending his first 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Even though Gore has only been with the Colts and Andrew Luck for a few months he had a lot of praise for young QB when speaking with Jim Rome.
He runs meetings like a coach. Basically, I’m playing with a coordinator on the field. He’s a football God. He sees everything. He sees the big picture of everything…He lets me know when [there’s] something I don’t see. He’s just different. How he’s in the huddle, off the field, in the meetings, he runs it. He runs the show, even in the off-season, he ran it. One day he had running backs, the next day he has receivers. He’s just different. He’s a football God. Luck’s mind frame is he’ll throw to any player no matter the name on the back of their jersey. He won’t force a ball to Hilton if he’s doubled teamed. Luck will gladly throw underneath to tight end Jack Doyle if he’s open. Luck spends time throwing to all his receivers—not just first and second team players—during practice, which in turn carries over to the games.
Considering in those 10 seasons with the Colts Gore’s Quarterbacks included Alex Smith, J.T. O’Sullivan, Shaun Hill, Trent Dilfer, and Colin Kaepernick. No offense to any of those dudes but Andrew Luck is few better than any of them. Luck already been elected to more Pro-Bowls than all five of them combined.
Gore must also be happy to not have to be so solely responsible for the teams offense like he did for many seasons in San Fran. That box is not going to be so loaded up with Luck running the show and that offense.
