The history of this team is so rich, you could put a few HOF at backups and it would be ok

Welcome! Your post is a good one, but it might be lonely for awhile as the SB approaches.

Probably so. I always start thinking of our history when we reach these peaks and I hope others will enjoy thinking about it too.

Typically these type of posts come up during our down years when everyone daydreams about the good ole days :)

No John Taylor.

I'm not going to bother with backups.

You aren't going to get this squad under the salary cap!

But we are watching a classic defence with an excellent line and backers. And you don't tick the box for a single one of them. This can't be right. I am not convinced that Stubby should be in there and I am sure that Sherman should.

Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan. My second choice would be Mike Holmgren or Mike Shanahan.

Sherman and Fred Dean.

Ageee on Mike Holmgren and Mike Shanahan.

He would have been my "next in line", but I had to cut it off somewhere

I think Sherman and Dean were great. But their best years were with other and just didn't have as full of careers in SF for me to put them ahead of the guys I had
