To each their own. Regardless how you feel about how they left, in the end they were both all-time great linebackers for this franchise who gave us fans unforgettable memories

and most of us do not care how they left us.


Bill Walsh certainly didnt care how they left.

"You only have about 2 years left here." "I don't think you can make the team, and if you do, I want you to take half pay." "I only want your good years."

Walsh was brutal. I probably would hate the man if I were a 49er great and he told me those things.

Walsh's ideology was that it is better to get rid of a player 2 years too soon, than 2 years too late.

VERY interesting take!
Here's a short and excellent article on Bo & Patrick!

Damn. We had a great front 7. If buckner was on that team back then, he would have been the 5th best player on that front.

I found it to be contrived and derivative.

Buckner and Aldon-
Haha we signed Bow for 1 day to retire a Niner cuz Bosa is still unsigned. Now if Bosa can only get signed in one more day.

All is forgiven for signing with the Raiders. Big Game Bow is a Niner for life!

He was done then, just took him a little longer to figure out what everyone else knew. I never had any hard feelings. Nothing to forgive. Raiders are too sorry to be a rival of the 49ers. One of the 49ers' greats whose athleticism was taken from him far too early.

Love. Respect.
Kills me he had to go play across the bay, but clearly he didn't love it enough to continue to play there

Because his heart was in SF the whole time. you can't write that ish.

Bowman will be favorite forever. one of the few players i've ever got to meet in person.

his signed jersey will sit nicely in a jersey case forever.
