in 49ers By The Numbers
Email
PrintLots of players in this list, two of them, are among the best players to ever don a 49ers uniform, and another player is one of the best college QBs of all time.
| Player | Position | College | Spot Drafted | Years Played | Jersey Number |
| John Brodie | QB | Stanford | 3rd | 1957-1973 | 12 |
| Ty Detmer | QB | BYU | 230th | 2006-2007 | 12 |
| Trent Dilfer | QB | Fresno State | 6th | 2006-2007 | 12 |
| Maury Duncan | QB | San Francisco State | UDFA | 1954-1955 | 12 |
| Hal Ledyard | QB | Tenn-Chattanooga | 104th | 1953 | 12 |
| Steve Bono | QB | UCLA | 142nd | 1989-1993 | 13 |
| Shaun Hill | QB | Maryland | UDFA | 2006-2009 | 13 |
| Gino Tretta | QB | Miami. (Fla.) | UDFA | 1996 | 13 |
| Tom Wittum | Punter | Northern Illinois | 200th | 1973-1977 | 13 |
| Tyronne Drakeford | DB | Virginia Tech | 62nd | 1997-1998 | 14 |
| Sam Etcheverry | QB | Denver | UDFA | 1963 | 14 |
| Bill Musgrave | QB | Oregon | 106th | 1991-1994 | 14 |
| JT O'Sullivan | QB | UC Davis | 186th | 2008 | 14 |
| Tom Owen | QB | Wichita State | 322nd | 1974-1975 | 14 |
| Vinny Sutherland | Kick Returner | Purdue | 136th | 2001-2002 | 14 |
| Y.A. Tittle | QB | LSU | 3rd | 1951-1960 | 14 |
| Ray Wersching | Kicker | Califronia | UDFA | 1977-1987 | 14 |
| Jeff Wilkins | Kicker | Youngstown State | UDFA | 1995-1996 | 14 |
| Bryan Clark | QB | Michigan State | 251st | 1982-1983 | 14 |
The Winners
Representing the number 12--John Brodie. This is an easy one. Trent Dilfer wore Brodie's number to bring more attention to the fact that Brodie is not ensrhined in the Hall of Fame.
Representing the number 13--Shaun Hill. I guess QBs must be a superstitious lot since there have only been three players in all of 49ers history to wear that number.
Representing the number 14--Y.A. Tittle. Another easy choice. Sadly Tittle's best years were after he was traded to the Giants.

What no love for JT?
Futbol players pretend they're hurt when they're not. Football players pretend they're not hurt when they are.
JT is on there
He’s the 4th #14 down
Coach Boone: And who's team is this, Gary? Is this your team? Or is this your daddy's team?
Bertier: Yours.
Coach Boone: Now get on the bus. Put on your jacket first and then get on the bus.
And no
We have no love for JTO
Coach Boone: And who's team is this, Gary? Is this your team? Or is this your daddy's team?
Bertier: Yours.
Coach Boone: Now get on the bus. Put on your jacket first and then get on the bus.
No
I meant not picking him to represent 14. And yeah I don’t have any love for him either
Futbol players pretend they're hurt when they're not. Football players pretend they're not hurt when they are.
I'm thinking u don't realize how good Y.A. Was
Only our absolute legends should replace him if they had the same #
Gimme 1 round!

“Though he may have never won a Super Bowl, Y.A. Tittle is considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. In 1963 he threw an astounding 36 touchdown passes and held the record until 1984. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.”

Alright
It was sarcasm. Of course he doesn’t deserve it

Lay it on real thick on the internets
Gimme 1 round!

Uh, Tim Rattay?
Tim Rattay worth No. 13. Am I missing something?
1976, #14 - Jim Plunkett
Who stunk while he was with us and changed to #16 the next year.
Coach Boone: And who's team is this, Gary? Is this your team? Or is this your daddy's team?
Bertier: Yours.
Coach Boone: Now get on the bus. Put on your jacket first and then get on the bus.
No 13
Superstition around numbers is a funny old business isn’t it. How could the No 13 hurt you? It’s like if I type it here, what could happen to me? 13! 13! It’s not like someone is going to creep up behind me and

#13 Do QBs win by default?
Tom Wittum may only be a punter but at least he was 1st string for 5 years and back then, we were doing a lot of %$#@!ing punting.

Either him or Bono
I disagree with Hill over either of them.
Gimme 1 round!

Wittum made a Pro Bowl
Or led the NFC in punting at least one year (’73, I believe…)
Wittum > Bono > Hill

I think Detmer was retired by the 2006/07 season
He played for the 49ers in 1998 before going to Cleveland along with half the 49ers front office.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Good catch
I got all this information from a 49ers pdf that lists every player. They screwed up on that. Ty retired in 2005, Koy retired in 2006 (but was a backup for the Eagles his entire career).
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I recall koy
Destroying the 9ers when he started for an injured mcnabb… I think he got injured that game only to have feeley come in and continue the domination…

Geez...
The 49ers have had some great QBs huh?
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
"I'm just like you, but 10 times better"
Gotta have Bono...
… for the # 13 , two reason’s 1st Joe follow’d him to K.C. and 2nd i have a pic of him and Eddie D holding my oldest as a baby …!!
Gotta love a woman that wear's knee pad's to work ...!!
# 14
Y.A. Tittle is the clear winner for # 14. But I’m intrigued by the list of # 14s including Tyronne Drakeford. He didn’t wear that number during the regular season, did he? I thought he wore # 22.
Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.
I woulda gone Bono over Hill too
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
