While having a fairly strong level of disdain for the current Niner regime, I always have and still remain impressed by the turn around and sustained level of success the Walsh staff brought to that franchise. I remember when they really, truly stunk and were the embarrassment of the Bay area. Even before the 81 season, you could see the turn around under Walsh. For his legacy to be branched out so far is just amazing. The man took lessons from the best and then put his touch on things.
Seeing the whole dynasty "Niner week" on NFLN, I am actually entertained by some of the older games they are televising. Loved the NFCC with Dallas. When you think about it, Montana wasn't more than just a pup himself when they won that year, yet he was as cool as they come. Man that guy was something special as a QB. I forgot how much a beating Solomon took as the feature receiver in those days. They ALWAYS had a strong defense that seemed to be under appreciated because the offense was so good. All of the game coverage is great viewing for us older guys.
It is a lot easier to look at the Niners under that stage, they truly were flat out good and held on to that level of football for longer than anyone else I have ever seen. I have said it before, the 89 Team IMHO was the best team to ever take the field in one season. Funny, the Niners have never won a Super Bowl I didn't want them to win. My how the mighty have fallen.
