I’m pretty similar to what I was at 26. It doesn’t take a lot of us that long to ****ing grow up. If you did the same things that Smith did than I’d call you a ****ing idiot too. The fact of the matter is that you didn’t get caught doing half that amount of shit or you would be posting from prison unless you have NFL fame and money.

I’m saying I’m not rooting for the guy and it’s not a ****ing “redemption story” Just like no one was rooting for Justin Gatlin. Cheaters and criminals don’t make the best “feel-good” underdogs.

Gatlin came back better than ever and his story will have a happy ending, this could be the Aldon Smith story also, we will see, But.....all for him doing what he can to make things right.

I get it, but you're kinda being dickish but I get it lol. I think a redemption story would be if he tried do something positive off the field than on at this point. He's a major ****ed up and pissed away millions upon millions of dollars.

By the few people like you that just love numbers and stats, but the rest of us will remember him getting booed by the entire crowd that race because they didn’t feel he deserved to ever race again. I’m sure he’ll always remember the boos too. Just how I’d want to go out. What a beautiful happy ending.

Well, yeah, I’m sure you’ve been given them your whole life based on just seeing your history here. You want to root for him that’s fine, but don’t be surprised when the majority of us aren’t. You act like the guys been clean for the last 4 years and grown up. You are aware his last arrest was less than a year ago right?

Aldon Smith was a really good DE/LB before he threw his life away. At 30, he should still be in the middle of his prime years. If he's in shape, and he's been studying hard, he could be a top 10-15 DE/LB in the league by season's end.
But I don't think that he's going to keep it together. If he does, well good for him. But my gut tells me that he's going to stumble yet again. |

Sure sounds like a redemption story considering the man overcame alcoholism and worked his ass off to get back to this position. |

I remember back in the day Pacman Jones was pretty crazy as well. Jerry Jones legit hired a personal bodyguard entourage to keep him from wilding out and Jones ended up fighting that dude lol then he got older and chilled out. He played for several years in Cinci without incident until he got into that fight with the dude at the airport (seemed like that guy was in need a good teeth rearranging).
Dez Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Leaf: they all turned it around as they got older.. Josh Gordon's still working on it. We'll see how Aldon does. I'm rooting for him. |
