Aldon Smith could be my new favorite player

[CowboyRoy]

Great. Another Thug who beat up his girlfriend Jerry is willing to take on.

Like Zeke?

 

[Diehardblues]

Like Zeke?

No this is much much worse than Zeke. Smith admitted and was convicted of domestic violence.

Here’s a rundown of the breathtaking amount of off-field issues Smith has encountered since entering the NFL:

• arrested in Jan. 2012 for driving under the influence
  
  
• stabbed in a house party in June 2012, was later charged for illegal possession of an assault weapon from the incident
  
  
• arrested in Sept. 2013 for DUI and marijuana possession after a single-vehicle accident, later left the Niners during the season to enter rehab
  
  
• arrested in April 2014 for a fake bomb threat at Los Angeles International Airport, later suspended nine games by the NFL
  
  
• arrested in Aug. 2015 for DUI and hit-and-run, was released by Niners a day later, then given year-long NFL suspension
  
  
• arrested in March 2017 as the passenger in a DUI after a collision with a police car
  
  
• sentenced to rehab in Sept. 2017 for the 2015 DUI
  
  
• arrested in March 2018 on charges of misdemeanor charges of domestic violence, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, false imprisonment and vandalism after his fiancee called 911 and said he threw her around the room, bit her wrists and drank two bottles of tequila before fleeing from police (he later blew a .40 BAC)
  
  
• released by the Raiders two days after domestic violence arrest
  
  
• arrested in March 2018 for violating a court order to stay away from his accuser
  
  
• arrested in April 2018 for violating his bail
  
  
• pleaded guilty to charges of false imprisonment and violating a court order in domestic violence case in Nov. 2018
  
  
• arrested in June 2019 for DUI
  

Clearly, Smith has troubles with alcohol, and is, at most, only 10 months sober.

Fake claim. Police showed she lied AND tried to get her friends to lie with her.
GODell had a Jerry vendetta and suspended him anyway.

Zeke was probably guilty in some ways too but he never admitted to it and wasn’t convicted serving some time for it. Along with his extended rap sheet. Smith is by far worse than any Thug Jerry has taken on this era. Amazing he would be anyone’s favorite player.

 

[conner01]

I hope he can return and be an impact player
Helps this team and helps turn his life around

I’d of preferred he do it somewhere else. I don’t feel comfortable rooting for Convicted women beaters on my team.

That is your take on it. Fact is that he got suspended for it which is all that matters.

Yep, worse than Zeke. But Zeke got suspended for it.

I gotta say I didnt realize he was dumb enough to get in a car drunk LAST June.

Hey I hope he is on the right track but he is a lot further from out of the woods than I thought.

 

[Diehardblues]

Suspension from NFL for DV certainly isn’t the same as being convicted and sentenced in a court of law.

 

[Risen Star]

Really rooting for this guy. To read about his turnaround and his motivation is impressive.

Lawrence, Aldon, Gregory rushing the passer all game could be a nightmare.

Two big DT's and the young 3rd rounder in the middle with LVE, Jaylon and Lee behind them? Front 7 could be insane.

WUT

 

[Verdict]

I’m fine with fans pulling for Aldon Smith but those who are getting all worked up about the potential of our pass rush with him and Gregory who has yet to be reinstated better tap the brakes.

No. People can get as excited as they want. Lol. Whether it pans out the way they think it will is a different story.

But they can get as excited as they want. They have my permission.

Sounds like a great guy. What could go wrong, here? Why you gotta be so negative? Lol.

 

[cern]

if he plays comparably to when he was with the 49ers, he'll be a favorite of mine as well.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

That is your take on it. Fact is that he got suspended for it which is all that matters.

It's not "my take" at all. It's law enforcement take.

Your "take" is believing the girl that lied to investigators on at least one occasion.

Not gonna say Zeke is an angel. I think he's got some sort of behavior condition, bona fide medical issue...that he and "his people" are hiding. But for Godell to go after him for that and for that amount of games.....vendetta against Jerry, whom he was sparring with at that time. Remember this was after our breakout 2016 season. GODell put the kabash on it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Yep, worse than Zeke. But Zeke got suspended for it.

Precisely the point.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Zeke was probably guilty in some ways too but he never admitted to it and wasn’t convicted serving some time for it. Along with his extended rap sheet. Smith is by far worse than any Thug Jerry has taken on this era. Amazing he would be anyone’s favorite player.

Why wouldn't you give him a chance to show he's changed? People should have a chance to pay their debts and get back to life. Forgiveness can be a very powerful weapon.

 

[KJJ]

What do you mean by worked up? Those two have a chance to provide a very good pass rush off the edge. Throw in the consistency of Crawford against the run at RDE and I see a well rounded RDE position with lots of possibilities.

All worked up as in expecting two players that haven’t played football in a long time to hit the ground running. Gregory hasn’t even been reinstated yet so it’s pretty foolish to be counting on him. Smith hasn’t played in almost 5 years and it’s not like this virtual offseason is going to do him any good. There’s no guarantees he even makes the team. For him to have a decent chance he needs to get the pads on and get on the field. The only thing we have right now is possibilities.

 

[Diehardblues]

That’s fine. But I’d prefer him not on my team. Have you seen his rap sheet. I don’t want to win that bad that we need convicted women beaters on our team. Sorry..

 

[MWH1967]

Would not expect him to be all world to start. Just some pressure would be nice. I don't understand why people are all up in the air about this player. Dallas took a flyer..if it works fine. if it don't you cant say they are not turning stones.
