My five favorite 49ers of all time are:
Joe Montana
Jerry Rice
Steve Young
Bryant Young
Ronnie Lott

Although: Rod Woodson would have been close had he played more years with us.

 

[deep9er]

the answers are sort of 'fixed'? most fans are automatically going to include Montana, Young, and Rice.

someone didn't include Montana and thats ok, but going to assume he's real young?

 

[MHSL82]

Joe Montana (He was a cool guy, competitor, and winner)
Jerry Rice (Best All-Time WR)
Patrick Willis (Love his hard work, professionalism, and contributions)
Alex Smith (Utah was my home team)
Steve Young (BYU was Utah's rival, but I forgive Young)

Have to be honest, you know.

My five favorite 49ers of all time are:
Joe Montana
Jerry Rice
Steve Young

I was writing the exact same 5 names before I glanced up & saw this.

Deion might've made that list if he played more than 1 season in SF.

Garcia yes that is 6.

You always knew what you were getting out of Montana and Rice so it didn't excite me as much watching them, they just met expectations.

well, guess the title didn't give a time frame did it?

so when Aldon gets 19 sacks this season, it won't excite you?

 

[mem49er]

Terrell Owens
Ronnie Lott
Deion Sanders
Ricky Watters
Patrick Willis

Heavy defensive lean there, Mr. Stafford. Are you trying to tell us something?

No, him getting 23 will though.

1) Ronnie Lott
2) Bryant Young
3) Fred Dean
4) Tom Rathman
5) Joe Montana
5a) Justin Smith
Honorable Mention way too close to call
Patrick Willis, Charles Haley, Dwight Hicks, Brent Jones, Steve Young

 

[-AC-]

1. Bryant Young
2. Jesse Sapolu
3. Leo Nomellini
4. Joe Perry
5. #16, 8, 80, 84, 42, 36 (Hard to list just one out of this bunch)

As far as Nomellini and Perry go, no I'm not that old LOL. Growing up I was poor, so we spent a ton of time at the public library. While others were at the games or watching the games on TV, I was at the library reading about the heroes and greats from back in the day. This is where fell in love with the legends, without ever even seeing them play!
