Record VS. Opponents Inaccurate & Winning Percentages
The chart listing the records versus opponents needs to be updated. The source that is cited is out of date as of November 16, 2010.
It also appears that contributors have updated some of the win/loss records in this category, but have failed to update the winning percentage in the category.
A reliable source for the records needs to be found and intigrated into this page. Nacuta1983 (talk) 18:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Adjustment to franchise history periods needed?
In retrospect it seems that the actual significant breaks in recent history happened in 2003 and 2008. As in, there is a period of losing seasons and multiple high level coaching changes that occurred in that period. Mooch was fired in after 2002 season and thus began the losing season streak continuing through the 2008 season when Nolan was fired. With Singletary at the helm in 2009 the 49ers had the first non-losing season since 2002.
The problem is that the current breaks in the article cover a period from 1999-2003 then 2004-2007 and now 2008-2009. Does anyone else agree that it should be rearranged to cover 1999-2002, 2003-2008 and then 2009-current? I wanted to get some group feedback first since that is a big change.They also lost the super bowl to the ravens.
Thanks! --Stadenfan (talk) 04:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

2007 & 2008 49er Rookies & Free Agent Acquisitions
I would like to add to the 2007 season the accomplishments of some the 49er rookies and free agents. I also want to create a new post for the 2008 season about new rookies and free agent acquisitions. My opinions will be unbiased.... do you have any say or want to tell me of anything to be added for sure? --49erhead (talk) 08:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Article has a lot of depth now, but many POV statements
This article needs a bit of clean up. I didn't tag it yet, but it's POV language needs addressing. The facts (which are stated) should speak for themselves without embellishments. --Fcsuper (talk) 05:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I wad thinking if wikipedia has a page about the 49ers rivalry between the 49ers and the Rams why don't they have any more. I mean, the 49ers shared other great rivalries with the Giants, Packers, Raiders and probably thier most greatest rivals the Dallas Cowboys.
- I think its the Patriots now intead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.155.2 (talk) 05:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Article mentioned in the news
- "Wikipedia Has Awesome Page About 49ers", by Glenn Franco Simmons, 10-11-2008, Bleacher Report
- When I was a managing editor, I used to ask my reporters to avoid Wikipedia like the plague because the reliability of the information is questionable in some cases. Although I still cast a skeptical eye toward it, I was quite impressed with Wikipedia’s 49er page.

Pro Football Hall of Famers
Under the Pro football Hall of Fame heading, Jerry Rice is mentioned to be inducted in 2010, I know he has had an outstanding career, but should'nt his hall of fame induction be official before it is mentioned in an encyclopedia?Vicious97 (talk) 03:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Lucas Cordoza #8 appears as a member of the BASHOF. I think this is an phoney entry but don't know how to deal with it. I'm posting here in the hopes that someone who understands this can remove it. rbyrne6722 Rbyrne6722 (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
San Francisco 49ers' new uniforms for the 2009 season.
Everyone,
Please respect the 49ers' organization and DO NOT post any pictures until they have officially revealed them during the 2009 NFL Draft. Even though I have already seen them and I've already created the new uniforms for their Wikipedia page, out of respect to the 49ers, I'm holding off until after the Draft. I expect everyone else who uses Wikipedia to do the same.
Thank you,

- UPDATE - Yahoo News has broken the story on the 49ers uniforms and they are no longer a secret. I posted the uniforms on their wiki-page, but I've decided to put the blank template back up until the NFL Draft when the 49ers will officially unveil them.

- Looking to hear the report on the new 49er Stadium when it is going to open? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.155.2 (talk) 04:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- At least they were able to make the top draft pick last year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.3.109 (talk) 20:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- And at least they have made the NFC championship game this year with the NY Giant, this game on Sunday will prove that have made a big difference in the team this year. --Leicina (talk) 05:20, 22 January 2012 (UTC) HAHA THEY LOST TO THE RAVENS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at THE 2013 SUPER BOWL !
NOR synthesis, should be deleted?
Deletion consideration for the third paragraph's uncited and apparent synthesis claims as well as the "only team" sentence in the second paragraph, it has been suggested that merely interpreting what a list of facts states is considered to be NOR and possibly synthesis. I am attempting to get clarification on this (been a number of days without response). I may be wrong discussing this PRIOR to deletion of facts even though those facts may be synthesized since the consensus seems to be to delete facts first then "synthesize" a rationalization for it. Also citations are necessary for that sentence. Thank you for your time. Hholt01 (talk) 07:47, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

"We're the 49ers" single
Why isn't there an article on 1984's "We're the 49ers"?[1][2][3] It was predecessor to the Super Bowl Shuffle. StevePrutz (talk) 19:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Contradiction in first touchdown scored
The text in the article reads:
The franchise's first touchdown was scored by Alyn Beals. The first score in 49ers history came on an exquisitely executed passing play. Quarterback Frankie Albert, a scrambling left-hander, tossed a 6-yard pass to halfback John Strzykalski, who tossed a lateral to Len Eshmont, who raced down the sideline toward the end zone for a play that covered 66 yards under the foggy afternoon skies of Kezar Stadium on September 8, 1946.
So which one is it? Beals or Eshmont?DragonFury (talk) 18:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Don't know how the 49ers are going to do well with signing that massive contract on Colin Kaepernick of $106 for 5 years, that's excessive, that going to make the team go broke.--Oxforduniversity1 (talk) 04:42, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Why not tell the truth about their location
They are in Santa Clara. Why play along with their lie that they're anywhere near San Francisco? They're not, and a site dedicated to facts should be ashamed for trying to shove this lie down our throats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.149.43.225 (talk) 05:52, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
49ers are not located in San Francisco and do not belong in the "Sports in San Francisco" Category.
Proximity is not valid argument for inclusion in this category. E.g. the Oakland Raiders are not included in the "Sports in San Francisco" category.
History of the franchise is not a valid argument for inclusion in this category. E.g. the "Tennessee Titans" page is not in the "Sports in Houston, Texas" category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.207.38.139 (talk) 19:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Good article very long and informative. However. I simply asked "Who owns the 49er's?"
Simply question. Right? You stupid bastards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:3:2380:9B63:18B8:2BA4:CBD8:9835 (talk) 13:48, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
49ers' name and stadium location
I think NFL home territories can be 100 miles away from the city in the team's name unless there's another NFL team within that radius. By that rule, going north-south the 49ers could play in a stadium in Salinas and still be named the San Francisco 49ers. Going East-West, half the distance to the Oakland would be the dividing point. The NFL's NY Giants and NY Jets both play in a different state -- New Jersey, but 15 miles away from NYC. When a Senator as powerful as Dianne Feinstein says that the 49ers could move to the South Bay but they couldn't discard the "San Francisco" from their name, they didn't. But she would have probably been powerless to stop them from moving. Even though the team is a San Francisco area team I call them the Santa Clara 49ers. If we had a strict rule about stadium location, we'd have had names like the Irving or Arlington Cowboys, the East Rutherford Jets, the Orchard Park Bills, and the Pontiac Lions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.222.140.197 (talk) 08:11, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
