If only the Niners had been honest and he had stayed another year.

The 9ers robbed us of this:

California Golden Bears, 13-0, 2005 NCAA National Champions.

QBs - Rodgers (Consensus All-American Sr. Heisman Trophy), Longshore (Fr)
RBs - Lynch (Consensus All-American, So), Forsett, O'Keith
WRs - DeSean Jackson, Jordan, Hawkins, Smith, Desa

Also loaded at OL and D.

Niners are probably more irritated at hardware missing from their trophy case that would have been there otherwise

I'd like to see him play for a team in the warm South, like the Jaguars!
Roll on you Bears!

If he could handle Green Bay weather, he can handle Pittsburgh.

The problem with the Steelers though is their average to subpar OL, Rodgers' first choice was Minnesota, which is better there.

lol at the Sam Desa shoutout. Haven't heard that name in a while.

People forget that team had two DTs... Mebane and big Lo.. who each played almost 15 years in the league.

I always knew i hated the niners...

Heart of a Top 10 defense, but ineffective against Leach's and Dykes' Air Raid offense with their wide splits and upright stances in the Holiday Bowl.

Would love to have one of those guys as our DL coach.

Aaron Rodgers throws one helluva hail mary. He gives enough time for receivers to position themselves to catch and for defenders to shat their pants.

I did watch Joe Montana in person, but best Cal QB for sure.

That's debatable, can Montana make some of the plays and throws from the Rodgers' highlight clips posted on this thread?

Could Montana make all the throws Rodgers can make? No. Rodgers had a great arm. But Montana was a better winner.

Football is a team game. Being a winner is usually because your team is better. Rodgers rarely had a top 10 defense. I think 1 time in his entire career. Montana's 49ers were absolutely loaded. The NFL Is not the same, I don't think NFL teams can have dynasties like they used to. I think Rodgers is the superior QB simply because he could use his athleticism to extend plays and run for yards. Both were very accurate QBs, just that Aaron had both.

As well, Montana had a big advantage of running an offense that was 5 or 10 years ahead of the curve under Walsh's WCO.

He was also a fan favorite with an agreeable low-key personality while Rodgers rubs some people the wrong way, so there is also that bias in comparing the two QBs.

Montana was generally pretty slow, he moved around the pocket much like Brady does.

More than half the 49ers would have rubbed people the wrong way,
if they had social media accounts back in the day.

What really rubs me the wrong way about the 9ers is that they have had a long history of overlooking Cal talent, and passing over a generational talent and hall of famer like Rodgers in favor of a middling talent like Alex Smith is a prime example of this. Not only did they hurt themselves with this choice, but they've also robbed us of a championship season by making Rodgers believe that they would choose him with their top pick of the draft, cementing his decision to leave early.

The 1982 and 1989 champs were far from loaded. The 1982 team started a 3/4 rookie defensive backfield, had no legitimate left tackle, and no running backs worth a damn. The 1989 champs were 6-5 in November.

The 1985 and 1990 champs have far better claims to being loaded teams that overpowered the league.

When they were drafting a LB in the 80's they picked BYU's Todd Shell over Cal All American Ron Rivera.

The 82 team's biggest weapon was on the sidelines, Walsh's WCO was still a novelty and opponents had a hard time stopping it.

People think they remember that year, but they don't.

Team was 7th of 28 in points scored. In 7 out of 16 games, they scored less than 20 points.

The offense allowed them to be successful despite their personnel weaknesses, but it was not the personnel carrying Montana.

There were some legendary defenses during the Niners runs to super bowl, The New York Giants and Chicago Bears and Cowboys all had some amazing defenses. Even the redskins were pretty good too, though my memory was never very good about them, didn't watch them much, but remember Daryl Green being a total stud.

The 9ers also had Ronnie Lott and Fred Dean on D. Their 1982 offense stats might not have been exceptional, but their D also contributed to their winning 15 of their last 16 games by keeping their opponents scores low.

I was a NY Giants fan and the battles between Mark Bavaro(TE) and Ronnie Lott were legendary.

This clip was amazing. Loved it.

If Joe played when Brady did, he could have lasted 20 years also. Such a different era. Joe made them change it with his game and the cheap shot injuries he took. But there was never a game when I thought the 49ers were out of it with Montana. Especially with Rice there.

I never go to pro games, but in the 90's I went to 5 NFC championship games. Crazy - I thought that would last forever.
