I still remember when people were pissed when Bill Walsh chose Joe Montana over the then Starter Steve DeBerg who was from San Jose State (heresy at the time)......which just went to prove what genius Walsh really was!!

I suffered for many, many, years with an also ran team seemingly losing in the playoffs every year to the Cowboys and Roger Staubach until that fateful "Catch" when everything changed and a dynasty was born......I fell very much entitled to call myself a 49er fan thank you very much


Now.........let's get on with the show....
