Pretty nice thread here, Shake. Rep.
I'd say Cook is No.1, without a doubt. In addition to tremendous physical skills, he was a natural leader, who everyone gravitated toward.
Kijana, without a doubt. Hurt us in many ways on the field, but also cemented Mike Brown's feelings about trading up in the draft.
The Krumrie thing was terrible, and hurt us really badly in that Super Bowl, but remember, the Stanley Wilson incident was that year, too. Stanley was a major contributor, as a blocker as well as a ball carrier of good value. But also try to imagine how upsetting that was to his teammates and the whole organization heading into the super bowl. And then Krumrie goes down.
WE, not the 49ers were the best team in both those super bowls, and wins in either one, would have changed the arc of this franchise.
