chrisfarley Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I don't care what you say, Aldon Smith should have not played. Harbaugh, player union or no player union so stupid and everyone knows it. Colts win or loss, I loved Jim when he played here but just lost a ton of respect for him. He is the coach, do something and set an example (which is NOT a stretch) , and don't think he could not have. Don't even go there. I realize the 49ers are going to try to help him. Let's let him play because it's a big game and the season is riding on us winning. I'm ready for the hammer, let 'er rip. Not going to change my mind.

amfootball Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Does seem strange that the team allowed him to play then cleaned out his locker after. I would not put this one on Jim.

They would have had to pay him even if he didn't dress. He agreed to counseling and the union doesn't need to be involved now. Most teams would have played him this week. This isn't pop Warner.

It came from the mgmt. They were also the ones talking to the press about it. heard was something about CBA or some rules that allowed him to play , but even so , to immediately pack him off afterwards reeks of FOUL PLAY , or just Reeks , seem evident just trying to wait to try and have D at strength 4 this game when u knew offense weapons were limited I know Jim is just trying to play winning football , but at the cost of all ethics to me and hope San Fran youngsters dont take it as real leadership but poor judgement and 49'rs got JUST rewarded with a loss in own house for it, it may of been allowed so I understand why they did it but still just reeks to me Just glad our Colts were ones to take it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Complete joke by the Niners. "Oh hey you want to go to rehab? Sorry buddy, but we would like a win here so just play this game, and then you can go." Really brave to suspend a guy when you give yourself ample time to gameplay a replacement for him. But game day? Naw, it can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruksak Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 pffft. .....Smith is a grown man. This BUNK about him needing "treatment" is a classic out for people that mess up like he did. Also, I like how the author inadvertently tried to exclaim the decision to let Smith play would've been acceptable if the 49ers had won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tark The Shark Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I can understand putting your best players on the field, but after a arrest, it certainly was a head scratcher. That doesn't mean that Harbaugh has no spine, the guy is payed to coach and win games, for which he didn't. Harbaugh made a mistake and I wouldn't be surprised if the league didn't discipline him or the team for that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConBro Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I was a little irked to see Smith out there as well-- I think it's a cheap cop-out to "let the league handle it". When Patty Mac went swimming we disciplined him in house and HE wasn't even DRIVING drunk. Just went for a swim is all. Long story short, a different organization would have handled it a little more professionally. However, I'm not at all surprised. Good thing is, our boys up front handled Smith all day long regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldunclemark Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Harbaugh is described as a great leader of men...a character guy along with hi brother and dad.

DILLIGAFER Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yes, I'm sure all the high school kids now believe drunk driving is A-OK.thats not the point he was making. it teaches young adults that as long as you have money and fame, there are no consiquences for their actions.

jwilli69 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I think if the majority of people on this board were being paid and under the pressure to win like nfl head coaches are, 99% of us would play our best pass rusher in a game until told we can't. Especially after coming off a loss and not wanting to risk losing another. What they should not have done is say he will be on the field in a limited role cause he played fulltime. They lost anyway but I too would have played Alton. Morals and football don't always go together, if you want morals, don't watch football and go to church, oh wait..., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
