As long as he can get counseling and his drinking in control he will be fine. You can do all of that while playing and practicing. All of the legal s**t will take time and waiting around doing nothing will not help it. It's easily manageable and probably good for him to have something to do. Like commit himself to his career.
This. Most regular people with a drinking/behavioral problem don't take off from there job for 10 months or a year. They do there 28-60-90 day stints in rehab and come back to it. The structure of working 6 days a week will be better IMO then him left to his own devices. Although if he didn't play but he spent time with his folks, and did different things to structure his time i am sure he would do well too. But this guy is being paid good money to be there for his team, and as long as he has had a wake up call and some beginning to a treatment that will last much longer than any rehab stint, then i am good with him playing.
The selfish fan in me wanted him to do outpatient rehab to start with, something tells me he is not an alcoholic. Just a hunch but i don't believe from how in shape and ready to play he was that he had to drink every day, i think he probably drank too much especially on certain occasions, but out and out alcoholics can not stop, there are a lot of hard drinkers out there that claim to be alcoholics because they retired or got bored and started drinking way too much, and while it is a problem, i dont see these types carry the same traits of an "Alcoholic."
I think he has a behavioral problem possibly stemming from the new money, lime light, power over social circles, women, etc etc. But the 49ers will continue to have him seek treatment and give this guy some of the best treatment money can pay for, as long as he follows the path his doctors and organization lay out for him at first, i have no doubts he can structure his own life into a success after the legal cases and heavy hands on treatment is over.
