I don't see the original mention as placing him on the wrong California team, because the statement was along of the lines of: "If two old 49ers stars were back in their prime and if you put one of the best RBs in NFL history also on the 49ers team, then they would likely win one Super Bowl after another." - An extreme example of what-ifs, because the entire argument centered around "if, if, if".

I confess, I only skimmed that part of the conversation. I stand corrected.

No, he was on the white sox and I always liked him and was the only running back to cross my mind that played around that era. I knew joe montana and jerry rice were just a dominate combination because I was in SF when they were playing (I was like 6). If I were older and followed football more it wouldn't have mattered what team I got my players from (which I illustrated in the last post). I was just trying to make a point that if's were a valid argument then we can say if teams had players that were dominate years ago were playing today in their prime they would win

Gotcha. Understandable: he was one of the more famous players during his era (Tecmo Bo, anyone?), partly because of the two-sport thing, partly because he was such a beast. I think he still has the record for most rushing yards in a MNF game.
