QB controversy? Whenever I hear the name Mac Jones I think 60’s-70’s “pop crooner”. I think it’s because it’s like a mash-up of Mac Davis, Tom Jones, and Jack Jones.
Interestingly, Mac Jones was in the same quarterback-rich draft class as Trey Lance a few years back, and prior to that draft, many sports talk pundits here believed that Jones would be the one drafted by the 49ers that year. So in a weird roundabout way, Jones had finally made his way to the 49ers this year. GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G

49ers Mourn Passing of Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Jim Fahnhorst James John Fahnhorst, former San Francisco 49ers linebacker and three-time Super Bowl champion, passed away on September 17, 2025, at the age of 66. Known for his quiet toughness and cerebral approach to the game, Fahnhorst was a key contributor to one of the NFL’s most storied dynasties. Born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on November 8, 1958, Jim starred at St. Cloud Tech High School before earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors at the University of Minnesota in 1981. Drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 1982, he instead began his professional career in the USFL, playing for the Chicago Blitz and Arizona Wranglers under coaching legend George Allen. In 1984, Fahnhorst joined the San Francisco 49ers, where he played all seven seasons of his NFL career. He appeared in 82 games, starting 38, and recorded 232 tackles, seven interceptions, and one sack. He started in Super Bowls XIX, XXIII, and XXIV, helping the 49ers secure three championships during a golden era of football. Beyond the gridiron, Fahnhorst earned a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco and later served as a financial advisor. He also gave back to the game as a coach at Macalester College and at Wayzata and Maple Grove High Schools in Minnesota, mentoring young athletes with the same discipline and integrity that defined his own career3. Jim was the younger brother of Keith Fahnhorst, a fellow 49ers great, and together they shared four seasons on the same roster—a rare and cherished bond in professional sports. Condolences to his family and friends and may he Rest in Peace.
