Rice Owens Stokes
Their coverages often got smoked.

But no one would dare try to receive

this thrower's clockwise-spinning heaves.

NAME THAT NINER!

Steve Young. He threw left handed, so to the receiver, the ball is spinning clockwise.

could be....probably too obvious....

Most people would say, a left hander is counter clockwise....since it leaves the hand spinning counter...

Hey Mod!
Steve Young will most likely never be the answer to one of my questions.
"spinning clockwise" is a smallish kind of hint.

[Edit] Or rather, "clockwise-spinning"]

yes too obvious

The answer to this was ALMOST..... Tom Brady...but the pro-bowl years do not line up..... (Brady was a 49er...just not an NFL 49er....)

Obvious answer is Joe or Garcia....but that seems too simple

JJ is the outlier ... there are 6 QBs that have thrown passes to him (that are not 49ers)....several have careers that you could make a case for throwing to TO in training camp or practice (not game throws), but they do not line up with Jerry.....

but I always over think these things. I went looking at pro-bowlers that have thrown to them...and...then realized I was ignoring this is a name that NINER...lol...not name the random NFL QB that has thrown passes to 3 49er WRs of yesteryear....

What right handed 49er QB threw passes to Rice, Owens, and Stokes.

maybe Garcia and Stenstrom. but why would they not dare to receive his passes?

I'm going to guess it's not a quarterback or it's not related to passing.

the poster uses thrower and says no one would dare receive his heaves.

Joe Montana, Garcia, Garbac, Brohm, Druck, Detmer, Stenstrom, Maybe Rick Mirer..but we have to research who his 10 completions went to as a 49er...unless we count practice, Maybe Tim Rattay...same thing....because rice had left ...unless we count practice.

Hey Dshearn:

(not trying to be funny or anything). but now you (and others) are looking/running in the wrong direction.
On one hand, I feel like it's a good, mind-twisting question.
On the other hand, I don't want it to "twist" the mind too much, you know?

Probably another decent clue.
