Who is the Face of the Franchise?

this is his team and his responsibility

I would say Singletary.

I don't think it is Patrick Willis because he is a very quite and subdued individual. You don't see him doing a lot of commercials or other kind of sponsor related activities. Further, he has a helmet on on Sundays, which makes him less recognizable to the public.

Everyone knows Singletary because he is very vocal and has made some lasting impressions with public relations (I want winners... don't tell me, show me, etc. etc.). Also, on Sundays, the coach doesn't wear a helmet so he is a face everyone is constantly seeing and associating with the Niners, especially if you aren't a fan. Not to mention that Singletary is quite excited and pumped up on the sideline, which makes him even more apparent (remember when Singletary sent VD to the showers?).

It was close between Willis and Singletary. But I don't see coach being here more than a few years. But I do see Willis retiring as a Niner. So, he gets my vote. But if the great Zak Keasey had still been here, I would've voted for "Other".

Well, when you think about what a "face of the franchise" is, you have to consider people who aren't 49er fans, but football fans -- what comes to their mind when they hear the team name. For example, when someone hears the name "Ravens," they think Ray Lewis; or, when you hear the name "Colts," you think Peyton Manning; Jets = Rex Ryan; Dolphins = Bill Parcels; Raiders = Al Davis...etc. etc.

No one questions that Willis is the best and most talented 49er, but he just seems to blend into the background because he tends to avoid the spotlight and is soft-spoken and doesn't seem to have an outgoing personality. Willis just hasn't reached "face of the franchise" yet.

Willis has been voted to the probowl every year he has been in the league. The NFL fans have spoken!

One more thing, why isn't Kory Sheets or Nate Davis on the list?

Wait... you meant Kory Sheets isn't on the Niners anymore?

He has only been in the league three years, so it isn't that impressive, even though it is impressive. He still isn't the "face of the franchise." When people think Niners, Singletary is the first face/name that comes to mind... because he wants winners.

The face of the franchise has to be Sing. The fracnhise player has to be Willis.
