A season in which you finish with 19.5 sacks never can be deemed a failure. Still, Aldon Smith's 2012 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers ended on a bittersweet note. He accumulated that number of sacks in only 13 games, then got shut out from Week 15 straight through Super Bowl XLVII. Much of that can be contributed to a bad shoulder that required offseason surgery. The late-season absence of Justin Smith didn't help. Source: NFL.com
If he doesnt get 20 he's a freaking bust and we should cut him immediately. He's got a DUI and got stabbed at a party for crying out loud, he's clearly a worthless human being. Screw him.
We never should have drafted him, he's been a constant headache. At some point they've just got to cut ties and drop him ala the Pats and Harnandez. Now that was a classy move by a top organization. I wish the 49ers emulated their example more often.
You had to know trouble was a comming. You dont draft guys named Aldon Who the heck does this guy think he is, some fancy pants Brit?
