Well, well, well. Here we are again, subjected to LIES AND PROPAGANDA from Mr. Jones. Let me refresh your memory, for those confused…
After this claim, I decided to dig in and do some research regarding Mr. Gore, who’s career in our league is a lot more impressive than you might think…
- 2005 – Undrafted/Never Added (Rookie Season)
- 2006 – Tansuche, Round 17, Pick 5
- 2007 – Tansuche, Round 1, Pick 1
- 2008 – Tansuche, Round 1, Pick 8
- 2009 – Kaiser, Round 1, Pick 11
- 2010 – Toepel, Round 1, Pick 5
- 2011 – Kaiser, Round 2, Pick 12 (Later traded to Kronner)
- 2012 – Dave, Round 4, Pick 10
- 2013 – Ryan, Round 4, Pick 9
- 2014 – Jones, Round 8, Pick 3 (Later Dropped, Picked up by Dave)
- 2015 – Trigger, Round 3, Pick 12
- 2016 – Timmo, Round 9, Pick 7
- 2017 – Dave, Round 18, Pick 2
- 2018 – Undrafted, Never Added
- 2019 – Jones, Picked up Undrafted, Dropped after 2 days.
From 2006-2017, Frank Gore was drafted every year and dropped only one time. That has to be a record for non-QB players.
Anyhow, let’s examine was Jones said…
“I’m proud to say I’ve never drafted Frank Gore”
Jones did in fact Draft Frank Gore back in 2014.
He also said:
“can’t think of any reason to pick up the “I’ll get you a steady 60 point a game” Frank Gore.
That statement has been deemed mostly untrue/misleading/false as Jones is, in fact, the only manager to roster Gore over the last two seasons.
