Joe Staley, Pro Bowl lineman, stays hopeful in 49ers' bad year Staley wasn't particularly interested in discussing the fifth straight Pro Bowl berth he earned Tuesday, even though his latest honor put him in select company.

Staley joined Guy McIntyre as the only offensive lineman in franchise history to be named to the All-Star game in five straight seasons.
