There are 8 49ers who share something unique in common. One of them is or was a quarterback.
Remember, it has something to do with their Names.

First i was looking for 18 with same last name. Then started looking for 8 players same last name assuming other 10 were coaches and/or execs.

Nothing aligned

Getting real WARM there!

I checked those,

There's 10 of "those." krizay. 10. (That won't give you the answer, but it will lead you there.)

sorry, No.

We're looking for a former player. QB.

"Remove the center from the gym" means remove something from the word, not a physical building.

I will guess Elvis Grbac, 10+8= #18. Elvis has left the building

No ChaunceyG. Not him.

SmokeyJoe where Yat

Ok. Thanks so much for the effort everybody.
But I will count this as unsolved.

There have been 10 General Managers for San Francisco.
There have been 8 players who are also GM (s), but in a different way.
One of them was a QB.

George Mira you slick SOB

George Mira – QB – 1964-1968 – Miami

George Ignacio Mira (born January 11, 1942) is an American former professional football quarterback who played in eight National Football League (NFL) seasons for four teams. He then played five seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the World Football League (WFL).

Early life

Born and raised in Key West, Florida, Mira graduated from Key West High School in 1960. He played college football at the University of Miami under head coach Andy Gustafson.

One of the best games in Mira's collegiate career came as a junior in 1962 in the Gotham Bowl against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Despite playing in 20 °F (−7 °C) weather in front of fewer than a thousand fans at Yankee Stadium, Mira threw for 321 yards, a Miami school record at the time, and was named the bowl game's most valuable player. Despite Mira's efforts, the Cornhuskers won by two points, 36–34. The previous year, the Hurricanes lost by a point to Syracuse in the Liberty Bowl.

Playing career

Mira was selected in the second round of the 1964 NFL draft, fifteenth overall, by the San Francisco 49ers. Primarily a reserve, he played for eight NFL seasons, 1964 through 1971, for the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Colts, and Miami Dolphins. He was a backup to John Brodie in San Francisco and to Bob Griese in Super Bowl VI as a member of the 1971 Dolphins. With the 49ers in 1964, he threw a pass to quarterback Billy Kilmer (who was playing running back) that Kilmer eventually fumbled; the fumble would be recovered by Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall, who infamously ran 66 yards in the wrong direction.

After football

Mira returned to Florida and now operates the Native Conch, a food concession at Fairchild Botanical Gardens in Coral Gables. For many years he owned a Key West restaurant called George Mira's Pizza Huddle, located across the street from the junior league baseball fields where it became a haven for post-game celebrations.

Personal

His son George Mira Jr. was an All-American linebacker at the University of Miami.

now now now , don't go risking our 30-year friendship.

Well, in today's Conclusion, I thought this was a great session. A few of you tried and tried but could not figure it out.
In a way it's better when it's very difficult.
But I trust that nobody got in any way frustrated to the point they won't be able to grill or eat the barbecue tomorrow.
Have a truly GREAT 4th all you fine 49ers friends!
Question 20, maybe early August. Maybe.
Take good care!

Nice tidbit 9moon. Something I did not even see or notice.
It appears though that somehow he was never listed on a 49ers roster.
