Hell no --- he's going to get confused and start thinking he's a Ram again espcially if this is truly the last game of his career.
I can see it now.
Score tied with 50 secs left, 49ers at the 50 with no timeouts, clock is stopped, 1st and 10..
"Alex Smith under center, takes the snap, it's a quick screen to Bruce, Bruce looks confused, he's running the wrong way....omg he takes a knee in the 49ers own endzone....WOW!"

I do not like Bruce
I did not like the idea of bringing him to SF, since his skills were clearly declining
However, I think it would be the right thing to do out of respect for what was a HOF career.
If we have not been eliminated from the playoff hunt, then Bruce should be allowed to dress for the game and get introduced to the crowd as a member of the starting offense, take a bow, and then take seat on the bench, where he should have been all season.

Yes, he should.
Its probably going to be the last game of his career, let him finish it up playing in his home stadium in front of his home crowd (he going to be remembered as a Ram).
It would be pure BS if he doesn't.
This
Bruce should definetely get to play his last game in St. Louis! Singletary will do the right thing.

Look Bruce has been a solid citizen for us and was very solid for us when he got playing time. I applaud us for bringing him on board and I think that we need to do the classy thing and let him play in a final game against them. I have a feeling the locker room will stand up and make sure that this happens.
We could deactivate Battle, or Jones. Both of them have been useless this season. Besides I feel like Bruce is a better WR than both of them. Let the vet do the classy thing, get a final standing O from his former home crowd.

Actually I'm with you on this one. I never liked the old bag to begin with. This is like a Viking fan getting all excited when Favre joined the team. I'd f**king hate Favre if I were a Viking fan.

After we build a commanding lead against them let Bruce get a little bit of run.

There's a good chance we're going to be out of the playoffs, its against the worst team in the league.
What's the harm.
Issac Bruce to the Rams is basically what Jerry Rice is to us. He's the best WR to ever have played for them. I don't care if its the Rams or not. Bruce has been one of the best WRs to play for the last 10 years. He deserves to play his last game in front of him home crowd.
The only reason he shouldn't play in this game is if he is hurt.

If we're out of contention up to that game, then yes... but if we're in a '2008 Chicago Bears' position where if we win the game we're in the playoffs, then keep him benched.
