I am saying they are my favorite TE and Oline.

97 will be retired. They always just wait a while for some reason.

Really sad. He said there's not much anyone can do, outlook doesn't look good, they are just praying for a miracle at this point.

It's because the Yorks want nothing to do with the SF days of Glory and anything Eddie D touched.

I think they were both great 49ers and I would take both of them on my team in their primes. Eff this arbitrary comparison BS.

Sapp as first ballot HOF I believe with 96.5 sacks so no reason Bryant Young at 89.5 or Justin Smith (at 87) now shouldn't be considered and eventually get in. Might take awhile but they deserve it imo. Sure you look at them at 41 and 47th all time but just about all the guys ahead of them played DE or OLB which is much easier to get sacks at than 3-4 DE or NT. Justin got half his sacks at 4-3 DE so might be a longer shot but Young I believe all his came from 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE. Did he ever play 4-3 DE? At the very least they both should be borderline hall of very good. I pretty much think of Young as our first Justin Smith. One day I looked up the guys ahead of them for sacks and I believe 5ish or so are DT/3-4 DE guys and all or most were in the HOF.

I loved Bryant young and Justin smith...... But neither were as dominant as Sapp was in his prime.

On a side note, I will never forget how amazing Justin smith played during the 2011 playoffs

Jesus no. Well I will pray as well, BY seemed a really good guy and he was a great player.
