2 seasons (2008-09)...Not my list but NBCBA's, who deemed any tenuous ties to the Niners as counting towards the list.

Ought to be Craig, if there was any justice.

Roger Craig - He was out there catching passes as a running back before it became a thing.

"Former 49ers running back Roger Craig, who is more than 25 years removed from his NFL career, is no longer eligible as a modern-era finalist.

The list of modern-era nominees will be reduced to 25 semifinalists in November. In January, the list will be narrowed to 15 finalists."

I think it has to BY, and he is very deserving. I agree that Craig should have been in there long before now, even if I'm not quite over that fumble yet. I'm surprised by some of those names, though. I never thought of Takeo Spikes as HOF worthy. Jeff Garcia - is that a joke? I loved Brent Jones, I just don't know if the numbers are there. I would love to see Watters get in, I just don't see it happening.

This is likely the real answer.

But from that list obviously Bruce is next but he isn't a niner. Then probably Holmgren and Lynch, also still not niners.

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately there is none of that in this world.
