tell us the story behind the Herschel Walker avatar.
He was amazing to watch, could go the distance on any carry. Had 1500+ rushing behind the leagues worst OL.

Trading him revitalized the whole franchise.

And when he came back in 1996, I think Jerry made sure he barely got any carries or plays so as not to compete with Emmitt’s contract, even though it was clear Emmitt was playing hurt. I think they only signed him because the 49ers threatened to.

Walker set us up with huge plays as a returner that year, but after a nice by-design 20 yard catch in the first game, they basically ignored him I’m the rest of the year, even though he provided solid production. I think Jerry didn’t want him outshining Emmitt, even though that would have been impossible.

It’s stupid and petty thinking like that that has fucked up our franchise even when they sign the right talent.

I know about the draft pick and all but this is more fun than getting blown out. At least they look competitive. :unsure
