Jerry -
Since I heard that you are on the net at Roger Craig's house at times, I started this get well card to give all your fans an easy way to reach you. As you will see the response has been overwelming. You are the greatest receiver of all times and you also have some of the greatest fans as well. We are sure that your persistance will overcome this setback and allow you to come back and reach the 200 career touchdown mark. Thanks

I would like everyone to pray for the safe and quick return for Jerry Rice. I know that he will return ten times stronger next season, but I know no one wanted this to happen, especially me. I was devastated when I heard what happened. But please keep him in your prayers, and God bless everyone.

As a die hard 49ers fan I was crushed when I heard of your injury. I believe that this will bring the best out in the other players, hopefully. You don't know how much crap I'm getting over here at cowgirl country. I'm stationed at NAS Corpus Christi, TX. Oh well, I'm hoping to see you by the end of the season. Good luck to a speedy and quick recovery.

I hope you get better Mr. Rice. It's not the same without you. I read some books about you. So I now your a tough player and always a smart player. When you challenged the Bengals in 85 you won the Super Bowl for the 49ers. I think you guys will win the Super Bowl next year. Without you and Steve young the 49ers might lose the finals. So get well for this year or for next year. Get well!

The pain of your knee injury was felt all over the Bay. You have been with us (49ERS) for so long we have taken you for granted. I am deeply saddened by your injury and I think the rest of the Bay Area can relate. You are a one person "wrecking crew" and knowing you were on the field we could always say,"Jerry will bail us out." I have faith in my 9ER'S but your absence this year will be like not getting a good night sleep. When it is all over, I know I will fell awful the next day. GET WELL SO SOON.

I have been a niner fan since 1988, when my husband and I came to this country from the United Kingdom, so you have always been there each time I managed to see a game here in Kentucky. Now, it must be so frustrating for you not to be able to train and play the game you obviously love and enjoy so much. Your work ethic is one to be admired be everyone, in all walks of life. I hope and pray for a speedy recovery and that your #80 will not be missing from the field for long. Best wishes to you and your family,

This is from Seoul, South Korea, which is thousands of miles away from you. Since I learned football first, I have always been a 49ers' fan. Every season I watch all 49ers' game through TV, though it's midnight here. I am much concerned about your injury. But I do believe you will come into stadium soon, and break through the endzone again. Because you are not just a player. You, You are the football. You are the legend of the game.

I was devestated to see that happen to you. I wish both you and Young a speedy recovery. I hope that you take your time with your healing process because I don't want you to rush and hurt yourself permantly. You have been in my prayers ever since the injury. As a niner fan transplanted to WI, I get alot of crap from all of the pot-bellied couch potato cheeseheads. I know next year you guys will be back to 100% and teach the Slackers and Cowgirls who really rule the NFL! Thank you for all of the great years and to many more

Jerry-
Your work ethic and resulting career are an inspiration. I was, and still am, devistated that your season has been cut short. You will be back. I don't think you will need help keeping your fire burning, but there is still one major career record you do not possess: All-Purpose Yards Career. 4776 yards to go until you catch Walter Payton at 21,803 yards. This record would eliminate all doubt and discussion on who is the greatest receiver ever. I look forward to watching your assault on this final exclamation of your career. Get well soon!

I hope you can feel the love, encouragement, support and wishes of 49er fans everywhere as you begin the rehabilitation of your knee. Like everyone else, we always expected you to be always healthy, always a factor in the fortunes of this team. Now through the example of your hard work, dedication to fitness year-round, and commitment to a standard of excellence that most of us can only imagine, you will once again show your many fans and friends the value and unique quality that makes you a person to respect, admire and emulate. We send you our prayers, good wishes and hopes for a speedy and complete recovery. If it means that you don't rush your return back in order to compete next season at the level you have become accustomed to, then take all the time necessary for that to happen.

My husband and I bought 49er season tickets this year for our 5 year wedding anniversary. I was so excited for the opportunity to see you play, and then those Buckeneers had to go and play dirty, hurting you and my other favorite football star (Steve)!

I hope you are recovering ok from your knee surgery. You probably don^t remember me but I recieve a tremendous amount of credibility as a physical therapist when I tell people I have worked on Jerry Rice's knees! In 1993 I was living in Fremont and working at the clinic next to Bay 101 gym in Menlo Park. You and Jamie Williams would come over after your workouts looking for some sympathy! Actually that was just Jamie---he whined about his back! A few times I had the honor of ultrasounding your knees.and enjoyed talking to you about your family rather than football. When people ask what you were like I always say -- he's a regular guy who just happens to play football really well. I know you can still play football -- you just better still be a nice guy too. Take care -- listen to your physical therapist -- and see you on the field next season

I am 14 years old and I am a starting flanker for my high school team. You are my favourite athlete of all time. I hope you get better soon so you could come back and beat the Packers then try and win the Super Bowl. I always tape your games. Before I play footbal with friends or on a team I watch 49er games over and over to see how you get open. Where I live for the last 2 weeks people have bben talking about you. On TV they say you are out for the season. I think because you keep your body fit and healthy you will be back for maybe the last 3 or 4 games of the regular season. Whatever you do don't force yourself to come back so quick, wait till you seriously think you could come back with out re-injuring your knee. My little brother is a packer fan but he hopes you get well soon. Good luck on your recovery.

I have been one of your biggest fans, and I met you at your house when you lived around the corner from my uncle in Redwood City. I was sold on you way before that though. Jerry people say that they aren't sure if you can come back, and I say if you only knew how well conditioned Jerry is, you wouldn't say that, nobody is as well conditioned as you are. You are the best, you will come back. I know that you still got 5 years left, I know that you can play it. Just get well soon, we may need you for the playoffs and superbowl.

Since I'm under no restrictions here, let me speak for the millions of people who not only admire your superlative skills on the field, but also LOVE YOU for the "heart" you have shown in your pursuit of excellence, the style and grace you have exhibited every step of the way, and the humility maintained in spite of your tremendous achievements. The world is a better place because you're here; not because you're a great football player but because of the eloquence in your demonstration of how obstacles can be overcome and progress made with enough effort and persistence. Thank you for your example of how to "grab" life and make the most of it; it continues to inspire all of us. I look forward to again being thrilled by your talent, but I wish you a rapid return to the game mostly because I know how much YOU want it for you and your incredible TEAM. You are a treasure, and it's no surprise you are a part of an organization that win or lose continues to be the class of the NFL.

Ever since I saw you score 23 tds in 87, I was hooked on football for life. You are without a doubt the greatest football player ever, and if there's anyone who can come back from this injury even better than ever, it's you. I was devastated when I saw you injured, and I have talked to other football fans who were crushed as well even though they aren't Niner fans. You mean so much to football, and we all know you'll be back and better than ever (as always). We all look forward to the return of Flash 80.

I was watching the Tampa game from my home in New Jersey when I saw you go down. I thought the play they called was stupid, the offensesive line wasn't doing their job blocking. It makes me angry that they would put you in harms way. All I can say is that I wish you a speedy recovery. Keep working with those kids playing in your place. They're starting to look good. It shows that you're spending alot of time with them.

People have doubted you, i never have and never will. I hear that you will be back if the 9ers make it to the NFC championship game. I certainly hope that happens. It is hard not to get crap for liking you in Green Bay. Last year i went to both 9er Packer games. They were excellant. Thank you for listening to me. Hope you get better soon.

As a die hard football fan I was very saddened to hear about your injury. Keep up with the rehab so you can get back out and play some football. Good luck to you, your family, and the 49er's.

I have followed your outstanding career since I was 7yrs. old in 1985. I was devestated when I heard you were out for the year. You are the sole reason I watch football. I hope your recovery is a successful one and I'll be watching that next game against the Bucs when you lay Warren Sapp on the field. Thanx for the great moments you've given the niners. I'll be praying for you.

You are a true Icon in the sports world. Your ethics and dedication is for all atheletes to follow and believe in. I hope your rehab is going well and I pray for your return to the team. Jerry, keep working on your rehab and and I'll keep praying for you. I would like to let you know that, as a player, I tried to have the same dedication that you have for the game. The only difference was you have alot of atheletic ability and I had little or no ability, but I still worked hard to do my best. Again I hope to see you soon in a 49ers uniform, I know with your dedication to anything you do it will not be to long

My husband and I are faithful fans of you and the 49'ers. We miss the magic you work on the field, and we are anxiously awaiting your return to the game! Of course, we still glue ourselves to the TV to watch the 49'ers dominate the field; however, we miss your personal touches which make the game complete! You are undoubtedly the most admired and loved player of the game, and we are cheering for you all the way! We'll keep you in our prayers! Take care of yourself and get well soon!

I'm a long time fan, both the 9er's & you. Hope you get back on your feet, soon. We really miss seeing you on the field. I would absolutely love to meet you in person, some day. That is my absolute dream of a life-time. I think you are not only the best wide receiver of all time, but you are the best role model for kids of ages. If an adult can have a hero, you're mine !!! Keep up the good work. Get well - from the entire Jayne family in Kansas.

I think you are the best NFL receiver of all time. Before you retired I followed all your stats and I wanted the 49s to win the superbowl every year. When I play my video games you are my first pick.I want you to come back and start to play in the NFL again. I know you were pretty close to 200 touchdowns. Get well soon. your best fan.
