Ricky Watters

I grew up watching him as a 49er. What he did in Seattle and Philly I couldn't care less about. He was one of the best pass-catching and tackle-busting backs I've ever seen in my life. I was sold on Watters over a decade ago.

So he gator-armed some high, overthrown ball he would've been knocked unconscious over. "For who for what?" He had a big mouth, that made him good.

"For who, For what? Philly doesn't forget, as fans we are hard but we are fair! A blue collar town expects a blue collar effort. Better luck on your second ballot, your mouth wrote a check that your ass is now going to have to cash. STFU and maybe some of us will just remember the things you did on the field. A college carrer does not the Hall of Fame make.

Yeah there was. He just didn't want to take the hit.

hall of famer...Ricky was one of the best all around backs of the 90's

That college career was at Notre Dame, though. That means more than the Super Bowl; a key to the city; that cheesy Rocky statue; or even the Hall of Fame. Watters doesn't have anything to prove to anyone, he's already done it all.

theres no way he would have caught that ball anyways

Go Rick!

He was great but that quote in the Tampa Bay game when he was in Philadelphia when he said "For who for what?" will come back to haunt him.

watters in the hall of fame? for who? for what?

If there was a way the Niners could have kept him through FA they would've had at least 6 or 7 Superbowls altogether. -He was REALLY under appreciated after SB XXIX, he was the backbone which really got us to the Superbowl in a time when Deion stole most of the spotlight.
