Re: 2026 HoF Seniors

Roger Craig got in, and very well deserved! Congrats to him! There is one question I have though: Could he have gotten in sooner if the 49ers threepeated and the fumble in the 1990 NFC Championship Game never happens? If they three-peated, then yes, though I don't get the feeling that people collec...

Re: 1998

Who cares if Lee played safety at *checks notes* West Chester. He was still too lumbering, and slow to play at safety. That's why he played inside linebacker. McDonald even at that stage in his career was the better choice. Woodall played LLB for the 49ers, not MLB. Yes that was a typo. Plummer/Nor...

Re: 1998

I don't think Merton Hanks was that great, either. And, I know someone who said that McDonald should have been a LB, with Woodall moved to S. And that person is high as a kite. Especially with Woodall moving to safety??? That would be beyond stupid. I think Lee was a safety in college. And, McDonal...

Re: 1998

I agree with Seahawk Fever. The late-90's 49ers had weak o-lines and weak schedules, and their defense wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Also, I don't think the 98 Falcons were an 8-8 team disguised as 14-2, but maybe a 10-6 one (I predicted that they would go 10-6 and get a wild card before...

Re: Danielle Hunter -- Too Overlooked?

Overlooked? More like overrated. His numbers in Minnesota were empty calories. What has he ever won- a handful of wild card games? He is not a HOF’er nor even hall of very good O.J. Simpson never made a playoff impact. Dick Butkus never even made the playoffs. You're judging a pass rusher on W/L re...

Re: 2026 Hall of Fame Seniors - Last 52 Ranked by Position Group

I dont feel Seifert or the team believed that Craig's knee could recover properly. After eight years, bitter reality had set in, the Niners were gonna give up on him a year early than a year late. Like Foreman, Holmes, Davis, Sims and Andrews, it seemed to end too soon. The word around here was tha...

Re: 2026 Hall of Fame Seniors - Last 52 Ranked by Position Group

Hopefully Roger Craig finally gets in. It's ludicrous he's has to wait this long. Great player, and it's remarkable how Walsh utilized both him, and Rathman considering they both caught close to zero passes at Nebraska. Craig sadly I think has been a victim of the old thinking of believing a HOF run...

Re: 1998

Whenever I watch clips of the 49ers of 1995 and more so 96, there’s one guy who I see getting picked on a lot: Tyrone Drakeford. I see Drakeford and Tim McDonald being thrown at all the time in those clips. And in 97 and 98 I see RW McQuarters and Darnell Walker thrown at a good amount. I don't thi...
