Well, duh.

The answer is absolutely automatic to any 49er you ask, except for the handful that might say Montana. But the answer is more than just red and gold bias as noted.

"He retired holding NFL records for: Touchdowns (208), receiving TDs (197), receiving TDs in a season (22), consecutive games with a TD reception (13), TDs in Super Bowls (8), receiving TDs in a single Super Bowl (3) and postseason TDs (22). Receptions (1,549), consecutive games with a reception (274), receptions in Super Bowls (33) and postseason receptions (151). Receiving yards (22,895), receiving yards in a season (1,848), receiving yards in Super Bowls (589), receiving yards in a Super Bowl (215), postseason receiving yards (2,245) and seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving (14)."

There is simply no debate.
