History • The team's early years were marked by talent-ladden teams that always underachieved. • In the 1960s the 49ers went into a long slumber. • San Francisco continued to torture its fans in the 1970s. Early in the decade they dominated the NFL West, winning three straight titles. But when it came to post-season play, the 49ers were a blowout. The Dallas Cowboys beat San Francisco three straight years.
History Continued • Finally, owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. had had enough of losing, and in almost a desperation move, plucked Walsh from the local coaching ranks. • The 49ers started to get lucky in the draft and in 1979 they picked up a quarterback from Notre Dame named Joe Montana. • Success came quickly in the 1980s.
Late on a winter's day in the NFC Championship Game, Montana attempted to evade a sack by the hard-rushing Dallas Cowboys line by tossing a ball high in the end zone, too high, he believed, for anyone to catch. Clark leaped in the corner of the end zone and ... THE CATCH. The 49ers won 28-27 and two weeks later clinched their first Super Bowl crown with a 26-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. “The Catch”
Rice played for 20 years. He went to 13 Pro Bowls. He won three Super Bowls. He is considered the Greatest Player of All Time. Jerry Rice
Trivia • Rice is the only one of the top 25 scorers in NFL history who did not kick the football. In fact, he became the first non-kicker in NFL history to score 1000 points in his career. (He now currently shares that milestone with Emmitt Smith.) • Jerry Rice Records on Inspiration
