Do you know the three names? Repeat them after me Haley, Saunders and Watters. If somehow the NINERS were able to retain all three services, there would have been no stopping the greatest football dynasty EVER period! What are your thoughts guys?
...and that other guy DEion...whatever his namme was

Losing Haley alone was the biggest blow to our 3-4 defensive system/knocking Dallas out of the NFC Championship, cause (aside from Bruce Smith) a multi-dimensional pass-rusher that could wreak consistent havoc out of both the OLB and DE spot (within a 3-4) was just unheard of back then.
-So finding an adequate replacement/pass-rusher was just impossible until Ken Norton Jr. fell into our hands in 1994.
And I wouldn't totally say losing Watters/Sanders after 1994 killed us more than the repetitive personnel injuries that seemed to consistently plague the team from 1995-1997 when it came to winning some of the more important regular-season/playoff games.

How about that son of a b*tch Favre
If we wouldve kept Sanders, there's no doubt we wouldve beaten the Packers in 95, and given up some sort of competition in 96. What a lot of us forget is that Sanders in his prime (92-96) would shut down half the field just by being in the vicinity. Not only would QBs defer on the receivers he covered, but they would practically ignore the side of the field he was lined up on.
BAD move by Ninerbrass to let him go after only 1 year.......definitely cost us a ring in 1995, and possibly in 96.
I never understood why it was a 1 year deal for a CB in his prime.

Should never have let Ronnie Lott go. that was an insult to a man who gave up his body (and body parts) for the team for 10 seasons. His leadership was sorely needed on those Niner defenses from '91-'93. Plus he was the only one who could control Haley's antics/tantrums, so Haley probably would've stayed if Lott was still a Niner. Those two alone still being in the red and gold would have won the '92 NFC championship against the cowgirls (putting in Montana in the 2nd half might have helped also).
On a side note, I always wanted to see Montana b***hslap Aikman in shootout between the two in their primes. I think the only time they actually played against each other was in Aikman's first 2 seasons (1989 and 1990) but the Niners were still way too good for the cowgirls, so it was no contest. The NFC championship in 1992 was the best time to have seen a clash of these two in their primes, but a finally healthy Montana was left on the bench as Steve Young struggled in the 2nd half. Montana was traded to the Chiefs the very next season.
By the time the cowgirls were scheduled to again play the chiefs in 1995, Montana had retired (the chiefs and cowboys also played in 1992, but Montana was still a Niner)

Anyone who has been a 9er fan since the championship run began can name probably about 5 seasona in which the 49ers should/could have won the SB (to me losing to Minn in the 87 division round playoff hurts the most well maybe not as much as Craig fumbling but close). Looking forward as opposed to backwards, my answer is Alex Smith, Anthony Davis and Mike Lupati. If those 3 play to their potential, I like the 49ers chances.
