Blake, Will you PLEASE respond to this, ok?
Why isn't Clark mentioned among their best TE's over on the Niner site, well?
But...there it is at number three at WR?
Talk about that, ok?
Why do we always see WR?
There are TONS of news articles about TE Dwight Clark. Are they all just messing with you?
NO THEY'RE ALL WRONG AND I'M RIGHT BECAUSE I'M A BIG FAN

Why isn't Clark even mentioned here?
14/17 say that not only was he a TE but he was the best TE in 49ers history
sorry
San Francisco 49ers: 5 best tight ends in franchise history
Funny, how when it comes to those who actually know football, Clark isn't even mentioned, the reason.....he was a WR.
When talking the best Niner WR. well what do ya know.
https://www.ranker.com/list/best-san...ers/ranker-nfl
There isn't a Niner fan alive who thinks Dwight Clark was a TE.
i said i'm sorry man. i cant rewrite history
So while finding Clark FINALLY at TE in that video you watched, you really didn't notice he plays WR, really?
https://www.ranker.com/list/best-san...ers/ranker-nfl
Means nothing?
I get this will confuse a gang of posters who ignore game footage, cards, rosters, THE NINER SITE proving Clark was never ever a TE.
Do your best, I'll try and make it easy.
TE's don't have the same average per catch that WRs have, sure for the obvious reasons.
Dwight Clark averaged over 13 yards a catch, the greatest TE;s in the biz, like Tony Gonazlez, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Shannon Sharpe can't match that.
If you understand the game (no true fan thinks Clark was a TE) then you know that. You get in order to average 13 yards for a career, he was not a TE.
I know....zooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm~~~~~~~~~~
we did an official poll on whether he was a TE or WR... yep, clearly TE
we did another official poll on best TE in 49ers history. clark? you bet
sorry it didnt end up how you wanted

Who can show me....Best Niners TE's....and Clark is mentioned, well?
Got this off the Niners site.
However, while looking through the 49ers history, I noticed that there really haven't been that many great tight ends wearing the red, white and gold. As I've said repeatedly, I think Vernon Davis will reach that elite level at some point, but until then, the compe ion at the all-time TE position is scarce. Accordingly, I've decided to not even hold a vote. Simply put, Brent Jones is the best tight end in 49ers history and it's not all that close. Jones leads all 49ers tight ends in receptions, yards, touchdowns and Pro Bowl appearances and ranks in the top among all 49ers receivers in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
While Jones was never overrated as a tight end, I don't think he would qualify as underrated. I can't imagine anybody not recognizing the talent of Brent Jones and his major contributions during the 49ers glory days. He earned 3 Super Bowl rings and made four trips to the Pro Bowl. The 49ers had great receivers in Rice and Taylor and a great rushing/receiving threat in Roger Craig, but the importance of Jones to the West Coast offense is considerable. Throw in a streak of 125 consecutive games and you've got not only a franchise great, but an all-time great.
Honorable Mentions: Like I said, there is not a lot in the way of tight end talent in 49ers history. Ted Kwalick was a 3-time Pro Bowler at tight end in the early 70s, while Russ Francis was the primary TE and immediate predecessor of Brent Jones. I really thought Eric Johnson might have worked his way onto this type of list, but injuries have derailed him and now he's off in New Orleans. If Vernon Davis can continue to improve (he did improve his receptions and yards from year 1 to year 2), I don't see why he won't pass Brent Jones in the 49ers record books. Davis is a receiving tight end who is immensely athletic and could become the primary target of Smith/Hill/whomever. But that's an argument for another day.
Where is Dwight Clark, what.....not even an honorable mention?
Why is he ranked third on that site at WR?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you really think this Niner fan from the late 50's wouldn't know what position Dwight Clark played?
Where is any video evidence he played TE? I have already shown five games where he is at WR.
Here ya go...USA Today.No source cited, so your post is balderdash.

Clark was a WR not a TE. John Frank was pretty good too.
A man who knows football, about time.
Yep, Frank could play.
Don't be surprised if you get a PM.
We all know Clark was a WR, we just like messing with Avant, he's a jerk.

Ok, here is that dagger in the heart.
George Kittle breaks Vernon Davis’s single season 49ers record for most receiving yards by a tight end
Davis had 965 yards in a season, the most ever by a Niner TE. Dwight Clark has a 1105 season, so if he were a TE that would have been the record, right?
That should put an end to this silliness. All of us who know football knew Clark was never a TE.
Lol #10 on the list
https://m.ranker.com/list/best-san-f...ime/ranker-nfl
That site ranks Clark at number 3 at WR, now check out where he's ranked at their TE, yep, he isn't. Who has ever thought of Roger Craig as a fullback?
I talked about how every once in a great while he would come in tight, that doesn't make him a TE, that is a WR simply playing the position.
Blake, give me the names of other WR/TE.....who?
Nobody that I can think of.
Dwight was a special multi talented player like that
No he wasn't special at all. And when talking the great receivers he isn't in the discussion. And if you brought him up in a TE discussion, you'd read/hear.....he was a WR.
Lol oh so now he's not special.
You're an idiot.
