The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history. Bill Walsh reshaped offensive schemes across the NFL forever with his new West Coast Offense he brought to the 49ers that made them so successful.

Some historic franchises, like the Pittsburgh Steelers, reached glory on the back of the their defense. That isn't to say their offense wasn't good, but when I think about the Pittsburgh Steelers, a mental image of Jack Lambert comes to mind, not Lynn Swann.

Here is the first team offense for the 49ers in the history of the franchise.
