Top 5 Favorite 49ers | Page 6 | 49ers Webzone Forum

I'm 27 and by the time I was old enough to follow and grasp football(mid to late 90s) TO was becoming... Well TO. Rice was still around but I couldn't appreciate him the same way the older folks did, other than just admire him on highlights.

Rice might be the greatest Wr of all time, but he's also the biggest egotistical douche bag in the bay area.

There is no "might be" about it.

Hands down he was the Greatest WR of all time.

He also sucks as an analyst, and commentator. Comes off as fairly stupid most of the time.

All those guys have over-inflated egos - BUT Jerry proved it and walked the talk.

Jerry deserves to have that ego because it is well reinforced. WRs always have big heads. I think Jerry in more humble than the great WRs behind him. For example Irvin is a huge a**hole...didnt use stick'um my a**

He and Brett Favre should go ice fishing together..

Rice has always been a douche bag, I still can't forget how he complained all over TV after winning the SB - MVP on how he believes that he wont be gettling all the endorsement..

ok. that did irritate me but maybe that is cuz he had a really dumb hairstyle back then

.. and he pissed me off when he did the hold out( forgot the year),, he comes back and in the first game back he lines up off side two times in a row.. i remember john madden just ripping him saying there is no way a wide out should be off side, let alone jerry rice, let alone two times in a row.. otherwise he is good with me even if you guys are right about him being an a*****e. i do not care

Carter, Beasly, loved them as well.

Too many ppl to list, but i tried my best to give a top 5 and 1 honorable mention.

Players like Hearst, Peterson, Beasly, Vernon, Alex, Kap, Lloyd are all some of my all time favs. But too many to name

I even loved Barlow lol he had his moments, Arnaz Battle, Eric Johnson, etc
