so many greats to Choose from, but who is the greatest San Francisco 49er of all time ?

Bill Walsh ..... Y.A. Tittle ..... Ronnie Lott ....... Jerry Rice ......... Joe Montana ...... Steve Young ......... O.J. Simpson ...... or someone else ?

[simple simon]

well for my money it has to be Montana

[Gotham Dark Knight]

As much as I think Golden Joe is worthy of all the praise he gets...Rice is in his own league...Steve Young a distant third.

[Lefty Noob]

Yeah, I've got Rice #1 on the list too, followed by Montana.

For a dark horse candidate, how about Roger Craig? First RB ever with 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving.

Craig, Nebraska alumni, is certainly a dark horse...he never got the credit that he deserved.

gee funny no one is picking Eddie DeBartalo

[iceberg]

definately jerry rice

[ThePundit]

Wendell Tyler....Just kidding. ...I would call it a tie between Montana and Rice...If I had a gun to my head, I say Rice. But it's really splitting hairs.

I say Rice. He was not playing the same game as the others. He was the best ever. I just wish he would have left the game with a little dignity. I didn't like seeing him not making the team with the Broncos

Rice overshadows the rest so badly that the name of Dwight Clark has not surfaced...

My favorite team growing up was the John Brodie teams of the early 70s. I loved Gene Washington, the wide reciever, and still say he was as acrobatic and as good as any I have seen since. But they could never beat the Cowboys in the playoffs.

[vincesanity82]

I have much respect for montana and young, but gotta go with Jerry Rice, dudes on a whole 'nother level...One of the best recievers the game has ever seen..

[Bette]

Jerry Rice. A talented incredible class act.

Ah Brodie. Great player but not in rice and Montana's league, IMO.

Jerry Rice gets my vote.
