I hear you buddy, I'm just saying that it would be nice to have both at the same time. I mean, sure it's much easier to find good running backs.
Gore's an elite back though, a warrior, and extremely versatile... Obviously very good inside the tackles, shifty for a guy with power, the speed to run outside the tackles, excellent receiver, very good in pass protection... it's just a shame that we may not be able to pair him with a competent QB before he's in decline. I love Frank Gore, & Top 5 RB's aren't exactly a dime a dozen.
I'm also not all that high on drafting another QB in the top 5 picks - in part, because I just can't rate the top college QB's right now. More to the point though, that guaranteed money is just insane - at least for one more year, right (?) - and we've seen first hand what happens when teams make a poor decision. Just no guarantee that these guys will pan out, and then we'd be back to square one (or worse, minus that huge chunk of $).
Anyway, I'm not against drafting and developing, that will almost surely be the route we'll end up taking. I just wish we could add a polished, established QB for the short term - so we could win now - and draft his successor.

One playoff match and the division no longer represent...
Speaking of which, I hear George Clinton has done a tryout for a new Bears right tackle.
If I knew who he was...
What kind of pussy-ass funk is...? :wth:
Thank you for the George Clinton reference, Serg. But I gotta put some props down for a little older school funk than that. For example:
The only white meat in that studio is the fried chicken, yo.
Contrast with just 8 years later, when Preston looks like a Lando Calrissian casting reject who opted to perform the same song for the Topeka, Kansas PTA...
