I remember what it felt like when Rice put on that black jersey for the first time. It felt so wrong, I didn't know what to do with myself lol. Always love Jerry but that felt like a dark cloud. Like when I see ppl wear those half red, half black Rice jerseys, I am like no no. My nose crinkles when I see those. I love how much Jerry loves the Niners, Raiders was just a little phase. No need to wear the blended jersey
I appreciate that Rich Gannon was able to help Rice pad his career stats during those twilight years. I was rooting for the Bucs all the way in that SB, and had a great time laughing at my Raider buddies during the watch party.
So BS. Rice was no longer being utilized during his later SF years, then he went to Oakland and proved he was still a Pro Bowl WR. I know fans who still cry about him going to Oakland, but how Steve Mariucci under utilized the greatest 49er of all time (second to Joe Montana depending on your prospective ) was one his biggest sins as a coach
Its my hope Mike Evans will be as effective and play as long as Jerry did. Hope hope!
