Craig @ 5??? He's arguably not even a top-5 RUNNING BACK in Niner history (Gore, Hearst, guys way back when like Million Dollar Backfield and s**t). He probably is, but still...definitely not a top-5 player period in our history. IMO Willis is already there.

My list:

Jerry Rice
Joe Montana
Steve Young
Ronnie Lott
Terrell Owens (soon to be Patrick Willis)

(Im sure I will get a ton of hate for the last one, but it was either him, Gore or Haley. I went with T.O)

Joe Montana (greatest QB of all time)
Jerry Rice (greatest WR of all time)
Dwight Clark (who understood Walsh's complicated system)
Ronnie Lott (is Ronnie Lott)
Charles Haley
