Dont' tell me that Roddy White still isn't an elite WR.

You clearly haven't watched the Falcons this year. Roddy is averaging under 50 yards a game. And it's not because he's being double covered, he's just not getting open. Maybe he's finally over his leg injury now, but this year he's been pretty junky.

Also if Harry is done and he ends the season 2 yards shy of 1000 that's ****ty for him.
 
Sorry 49rs fans, playing like this will get you a quick exit. We usually shat the bed after halftime (predominantly the 3rd qtr , which we did) .

By the time Gore is retired his numbers (aside from TD's) are going to far exceed Portis.

Gore being better than Portis doesn't mean much. There are bascally 5 guys aged 27-29 who're close to each other who are active. Jackson, Peterson,Gore, MJD, and Chris Johnson. With Marshawn on the heels of that group but he's 26. Gore if he can play late into his career, will be a hall candidate. As it is, he's likely in a Dale Murphy position, you can point at things you like but he falls short. Assuming he has 2 more years in him, he will end up around somewhere like Tiki Barber, Jamaal Lewis, RIcky Watters (for who for what) and Warrick Dunn. That's assuming decent but not too much regression. If he rocks those 2 years he's more int he Fred Taylor COrey Dillon range. Biggest knock on him though is scores, Basically he's Ricky Watters right now. He needs to move above that level to get in as RIcky has been HOF eligible for years.
