"They have been painfully close a couple of times, but 25 years after Y2K, the wait continues. That's not to say the 49ers of the 2000s haven't produced their share of memories and memorable players. In the past 25 seasons, the 49ers have reached the playoffs nine times, won the NFC West six times and played in the Big Game to conclude the 2012, 2019 and 2023 seasons."
"Hall of Famers Larry Allen, Isaac Bruce, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Patrick Willis and Bryant Young all wore Red and Gold during the 2000s before their enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. A couple more from this era should join them in the coming years. Cam Inman, our 49ers beat writer, also came aboard in 2000. To celebrate his 25 seasons covering the team, here's a look at his 49ers all-quarter-century team."
The 49ers reached the playoffs nine times across the past 25 seasons, won the NFC West six times and appeared in Super Bowls concluding the 2012, 2019 and 2023 campaigns. Multiple Hall of Famers wore Red and Gold during the 2000s, including Larry Allen, Isaac Bruce, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Patrick Willis and Bryant Young. An all-quarter-century 49ers team lists first- and second-team players plus honorable mentions at each position. Notable first-team selections include Brock Purdy (QB), Frank Gore (RB), Terrell Owens and Deebo Samuel (WR), George Kittle (TE), Kyle Juszczyk (FB) and Joe Staley (LT). The roster reflects nostalgia and debate without a Lombardi Trophy as a deciding factor.
