The only member of the 1949 San Francisco 49ers to make the NFL Hall of Fame was Joe "The Jet" Perry.  Five Niners made it in the 1950s, including Nomellini (first year with team was '50), Tittle ('51), McElhenny ('52), Bob St. Clair ('53) and John Henry Johnson ('54).

The 1949 Cleveland Browns are represented by the following eight members:

Bill Willis (1946-1953)
Dante Lavelli (1946-1956)
Frank Gatski (1946-1956)
Len Ford (1950-1957)
Lou Groza (1946-1959, 1961-1967)
Marion Motley (1946-1953)
Otto Graham (1946-1955)
Paul Brown (1946-1962)

Basically, the 49ers finished 2nd to the Cleveland Browns every year of the AAFC, either in the division or in the championship game.
