I was hoping AMB will be wearing Eric Wright's #21 !!

Ok I'll bite, why is it stupid? It allows players to have freedom to choose what number they want, and not be restricted to a certain number range, like WR, RB, TE, LB, DB can go anywhere from 1-49, now all OL can wear 50-59, it was only for Centers, now DL can choose 50-59, it used to be just 90-99. It's a great rule.

As for 21? No, that's Gore's number to me, the only 3 numbers I wouldn't give out that aren't retired are 21(Gore), 52(Willis), and 74(Staley)

Moon is stuck in the 80s
Didn't Deion Sanders wear number 21 with the 49ers? XD

21 should never be Gores !!

Do you know what Eric Wright did for the 49ers ???

He became our best CB after 2 years of being in the shadow of Ronnie Lott..

TELL me I'm wrong... tell me !!

Eric Wright was great but he was injury prone. If he were a Niner today he'd be crucified on this board. But we know he made arguably the most clutch defensive play in franchise history. He's franchise royalty to me like DC because of what he did to preserve "The Catch".

But of course it can and will be retired in Gore's honor sometime before he makes it to Canton.

Gawd I hope not. It's an iconic # with historical significance for several players. We have too many retired #'s already. I love Frank Gore. One of my all time favorite 49ers and the best RB we've ever had imo, but im not down with retiring 21.

THUMBS UP

for the fact that you made it clear that he was the best RB in you OPINION... because I honestly do NOT think so.. he may have the best

stats ever, but I think he's behind RICKY AND ROGER... some may even argue that he Garrison was a better RB..

I think he's gonna become a fan favorite very soon. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he beats out Moseley for the starting spot.

He certainly has more tools than Moseley. I hope he's ready to compete this year.

Yeah Moseley is inconsistent and got roasted far too many games. Just last year D hop destroyed him right off the bat and a lot of wrs just embarrassed him. I like him as our top backup not our #2 cb.

I agree, he's going to take that starting spot from Moseley.

Yeah I think he's going to compete for the starting job over Moseley or at least be given the chance to take it. I do love Moseleys physicality though

Aren't the 49ers at the max number of Jersey retirements already? That's what happens when you have a dynasty team.

I would be, only because it's pretty rare to see 3rd round or later rookie corners start on good defenses.

But competition is going to be fun to watch.

Ya that Hopkins game was just brutal. I don't trust him as a full time starter. Hopefully one of the rookies steps up.

Hopkins is a tough matchup for any corner. We thinking Thomas locks him up? Moseley knows the defense and guys do develop with more time.

I'm certainly not rooting against Thomas and it would be very impressive if he's good enough to beat Moseley but I'd be pretty surprised to see it happen at least in camp.
