No seriously, I respect all of our current guys. They all want to be a part of this team. They all want to be great.

There was a lot to respect about Junior Bryant.

Good choice.

This dude actually played with a severe heart ailment his entire career. He could have dropped dead at any moment. Crazy he played so long at a high level.

I was just trying the most obscure Niners I could think of at the time. Guys that are not likely to come up during your average Niner convo...

Well Mike Rumph might if the convo is about the worst starting DBs we ever put on the field.

I guessed that. But you hit a guy who does deserve our respect.

Zach Bronson was a pretty good FS as well on some poor niner teams from 99-01, he and Schulters were both 2nd year players in that salary cap gutted defence. People are shocked about how badly the giants regressed over two seasons, that happened to the niners with one off season and a Steve Young concussion.

Gore.

Gore is now surrounded by like-minded teammates â€" players who are talented and dedicated. That wasn't the case when he first became a starter seven seasons ago. After a galling loss, he ventured into the players' parking lot and saw some of his teammates laughing and joking. Gore immediately started crying and openly wondered what kind of team he was on.

I can't even imagine those years without Gore. He's the heart and soul of this football team.

Frank Gore.

Disability, torn knees, broken hip, s**tty coaches, terrible offenses, and yet this guy still couldn't be stopped. I love Gore.

All time, it's Jerry of course. The ultimate commitment to excellence and professionalism. He will not be surpassed for a very long time, if he's ever surpassed.

Current, it's Frank of course. Most posters have said it before: opted for a college that already had Portis AND McGahee active instead of walking into a starter's job anywhere else; two torn knees; learning disability; drafted by the most dysfunctional NFL franchise at the time not named the Raiders; cried real tears after seeing his team mates goof around after a loss; sent against brick walls of 8-man fronts by the likes of Jimmy Raye again and again; played for terrible teams most of his career without a complaint; more injuries; got us within 6 yards of a trophy ; an absolutely SUPREME blocker in addition to his running - watching him flatten blitzers in replays is a delight; never got into altercations outside strip clubs/broke bottles on team mates' heads/drove into trees while bombed out of his box.
