Aldon w/Out Justin | Page 3 | 49ers Webzone Forum

LasVegasWally · 2015-05-13T09:02:47-07:00

Interesting article. First, any OLB/DE's performance will improve if Justin is playing next to him. I'll be very interested to see how well Aldon does w/out Cowboy. Hopefully we'll find out the following season and we get one more year of Justin. I don't think he'll have as many sacks BUT he'll still have many pressures and double digit sacks. Thoughts?? http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/5/12/8586189/what-do-we-make-of-aldon-smith-when-justin-smith-retires

I think this is closer to the truth.

And if I was Justin I'd just hang it up. I mean, why risk your health when you know the team is in rebuilding mode with a patchwork coaching staff.

I'll be shocked if he plays this year.

Agree this is the most likely scenario. Guys will postpone retirement or leaving a team if they actually feel they have one last legitimate shot to win it all. But no one wants to get beat-up this late in their career to rebuild for a future that won't include them anyways. It's why our vets are retiring or leaving the team.

I can think of 6.5 Million reasons why there is a good chance he might come back.

A lot of it will depend Tank and Arik this year if Justin hangs it up. However with that said, haaving Justin around for one more year would really help speed up Arik's development. The flip side would stemie Tank's and Arik's playing time and game experience.

Interesting.

"Haley has been a mentor of Smith's since 2011, when Smith's 14 sacks set a 49ers rookie record previously held by Haley (12)."

Nice. Who better to teAch aldon how to control his craziness. Haley is semi normal now right.

Aldon is the best player on our team. Our level of success this season on D is tied to his performance.
