    49ers are in a world of hurt right now. All those super high expectations....

    But, it is very early.

      It must have been some problem. Most players don't check into rehab mid season following a DUI.

        He fell asleep and hit a tree in someones yard at 7am. When the cops showed up he still had his foot on the gas and his tires were just spinning. They showed the marks left behind on the news. It could've been a whole lot worse.

            Yes, that would classify as a "problem."

              If you are in a DUI League, check to see if Vincent Jackson is available on waivers.

                I personally have zero tolerance from this kind of stuff. It's beyond stupid and reckless. He blew like a 0.15 at SEVEN o CLOCK in the morning. WTF? And then found passed out with the foot on the gas and the tires smoking.

                It's beyond sad to me that the guy then is allowed to play in a game a few days later and collect a sizeable game check. Why do we have to wait until somebody is hurt to take action in a situation like this? I applaud the decision to step down and receive professional help, whether it was initiated by him, his agent, team, whoever.

                    My coworkers can vouch for this.

                      @JasonLaCanfora: The 49ers, who could have withheld pay from Aldon Smith while in rehab on the Non-Football Injury list, are paying him his normal salary ...

                        Not all that surprising. I'm sure they are hoping to resign him eventually. Cutting his pay now could kill any chance of that ever happening.
