No.
No, no, no.
It's JOE.
Spoken for 99.9% of 'Niners fans.
I might as well get it out of the way now... you knew it was inevitable.

In a more thoughtful reply:
I admit to being a homer and not unbiased regarding this category.
John Taylor is a personal favorite of mine and in my opinion might be deserving of a second team mention at Wide Receiver.
I would not include Hardy Brown (I don't think unsportsmanlike conduct should be rewarded, not to mention assault and battery).
Likewise, few 49ers fans want to see Tim McKyer, Terrell Owens or Aldon Smith back in The City.
I can't get too enthusiastic about J.J. Stokes for 3rd WR.
I can't think of a better season, statistically... but I'd still rather have J.T. or... anybody... I'll get back to you on that one...
Glad you worked some Bay Area favorites into the special teams.
Bill Ring (and John Taylor) deserve a place.
All in all it's a great list and while one could nitpick (Tyronne Drakeford??) I'm pretty sure I couldn't do any better...
...except for that whole Joe/Steve thing...
Thanks John, as always informative and thought provoking.
And thanks for letting us have some fun along the way.

yes, and it's fine. I knew it would be an issue . . . but it makes fun fun discussion
