There are 4 running backs currently active who hold their current team's all-time record for most rushing yards.

Who are they?

 

[Bankerguy]

MJD

 

[sporthenry]

Frank Gore?

Adrian Peterson?

 

[statman]

Gore

S-Jax

 

[RenegadeGM]

MJD

D. Williams - didn't he achieve this today?

Gore

S. Jackson

 

[Raider Nation]

Peterson is in there.

 

[statman]

Peterson

 

[statman]

for sure the 4 are:

Gore

SJax

Peterson

D.Will

not MJD. he's quite a bit behind Taylor still I think

 

[RenegadeGM]

Peterson, D. WIlliams, Foster, Gore

It was Foster who joined the list today

 

[statman]

then it's 5, not 4.

 

[RenegadeGM]

then it's 5, not 4.

who is the 5th?ETA: Gore isn't one of them, he's second to Joe Perry.FosterPetersonD. WilliamsS. Jackson

 

[GregR]

then it's 5, not 4.

who is the 5th?ETA: Gore isn't one of them, he's second to Joe Perry.

Foster

Peterson

D. Williams

S. Jackson

Yep, the bolded are correct. Foster just passed Domanick Davis today.

MJD is still a long way behind Taylor.

And Perry is ahead of Gore still.

 

[statman]

yep, Gore is the 49ers leader, so there are 5:

Foster

Peterson

SJax

D Will

Gore

 

[GregR]

Perry had 8689 rushing yards for the 49ers. Gore came into the season with 7737. He will likely pass him this year then.

Joe Perry 8689Frank Gore 7737 (prior to tonight's game)ETA: Greg beat me to it!

 

[statman]

Perry had 1350 yards for San Fran of the AAFC. I don't believe this counts towards the 49ers numbers.

Football database has Perry at 7344.

 

[GregR]

Ok, sorry about that... pro-football-reference is using a player's career total rushing yards, not his franchise total rushing yards, in the franchise leader list.

So it is Gore... Perry had 2 seasons on the Colts.

So 5 total, including Gore.

 

[Raider Nation]

Foster just passed Domanick Davis today.MJD is still a long way behind MJD.

Maybe if MJD holds out again, MJD can catch him.

So it is Gore... Perry had 2 seasons on the Colts.

So 5 total, including Gore.

No. Perry had 8689 with San Francisco and 1034 with the Colts for a total of 9723 yards. The question is "Should the 1355 yards Perry had with San Francisco in the AAFC in 1948 and 1949 count toward the 49ers franchise total?"I'm leaning toward yes.

I think the NFL did include them because they included Browns records and stats when they came in the league.Joe "The Jet" Perry was once the 3rd all time rusher after Jim Brown and OJ Simpson.
