booze and that stuff,, great combo.. and then some think he can do rehab over the internet

And then you have some who want to beat a dead horse and continue to make it sound like he is a lifetime criminal because he was stabbed in his own home breaking up a fight. Or those who want to make it sound like he is a major pill junkie because he had painkillers for his recent injury to his back.

Ho many times are you going to say that? We get it. You want him to sit out the whole year.

yes i think i said that

We don't know the whole story. I want Aldon to do what Aldon thinks is best for him.

We can't just automatically assume he is an alcoholic. Does he have some sort of alcohol issue? Of course. But to what extent we don't know. Drinking in and of itself and getting hammered is not a big deal. Hell most of us do that every weekend. Unless he is getting hammered all the time. The main issue is his choice to drive.

and then you have those who try to make excuses for his poor behavior and his obvious glaring need for help in the area of substance abuse

Better in rehab and getting his s**t together. I also don't think it is a foregone conclusion that the NFL will suspend him later. Since he and the 49ers are being proactive in response, I don't think Goodell will see a need to further punish him.

esp if he decides to miss the entire year, which i would be in favor of.

We'll need him for the....playoffs...

Everyone drinks and drives it's just some of us don't get caught. I'd say about 70% of the people leaving candlestick leave driving drunk.

Depends on what you mean by drink. Have I driven an hour or more after having dinner and a beer or two with friends? Sure. Have I ever driven after having four or five straight drinks at the bar? f**k no.

have you ever been at 0.15BAC at 7 am on they way to work?

i cant remember

I wonder if Aldon remembers

Not making excuses for his drinking and driving, there is no excuse for that I've lost to many friends and family members to drunken idiots behind the wheel. Im just saying there is a logical explanation for pills being in his car. Especially when initial reports or being busted with marijuana in his car were totally false, and the entire week he had been listed on the injury report as having back problems. Personally Im beyond happy he was willing to A) admite he has a problem B) do something to resolve the problem and hopefully C) follow through with whatever his rehab programs requirements are.

His "friends" are the ones trying to ride that horse as long as they can. Offering up silly excuses is one way to persuade him that he is just fine so let's go to the club.

There should be a special part in the rookie handbook that says, not everyone is your friend, some people just want to hang out for your money.

Did the Niners make a mistake concerning Aldon Smith? http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--49ers-make-mistake-by-not-benching-aldon-smith-035643971.html

No they didnt make a mistake, kevin lynch first thouht they did also, but after the game it made more sense. By playing Aldon they showed to him that he has all of there support and comradery to help him beat his problem. Which can be very very crucial when it comes to addictions. Everyone who has a problem wih that including ditka, beat writers and all the fans stuck on there moral high horses can ead.

I think they took the problem with Aldon with the seriousness that it merits.

I think they tried to make the best decision that they could with the information that they had.

They did not feel that sitting him, or suspending him, would have been helpful.

In my opinion, the team has responded well to this problem.

They have made it clear that will support him as long as he continues to work to eliminate his problems.
