Von Miller vs Aldon Smith

[Bigdaddyburch]

What else did Aldon do besides 14 sacks though? Miller was a great defensive player last year. Smith was a great pass rusher. I'd take Smith long term because I think he will develop into a more complete player, but as of right now Miller is the better player.

Ohhh come on stop it. You have to say Miller sucks he is a Bronco. You know that's what you think so stop. Fake niceness does you no favors. Try to stay to pre-approved responses.

He did what he was asked, and did it better then most. He will be full time this year, so we will see. I'm not saying Aldon is better, just didn't realize it to be so one sided. Like I said, we are happy as hell we got him.

ill take them both

He is much much much much much much better than Miller. Its a joke to even try and compare them. I have seen high school LBs with more natural skill than Miller.

Ill take Von, but both are/will be great players

Von for now, but another year should define them

Not Aldon's fault the 49ers are loaded at linebacker and could afford to platoon Parys Haryslon and Smith at ROLB. People seem to think he is incapable of playing the run. We don't know that because he hasn't been asked to do it yet.

They are making him the full time starting OLB this season. We'll find out who's better after this year.

You greedy bastard.

Do you still this from me? This is me and LegendX's thing.

Just go post both in every comparison thread lol


And why the **** is this so lopsided. Wow.

[Mudvayne91]

I thought the poll was who has a stupider first name.

So why isn't Aldon winning.

Aldon sounds like a name of a ****ing wizard or something.

Have you seen his bull rush? He is a wizard.

Now that Aldon Smith has played a few games as a full time player, thought it would be time to bump this thread.

Against the Lions, Aldon had 7 tackles, 2 sacks (one is pending review by Elias Sports Bureau), tackle for loss and a QB hit. Greg Cosell was on KNBR, a SF radio station, and said he was very impressed with Aldon's run defense and said he set the edge very well.

So for those who say Aldon can only rush the passer...not true (so far)

2 games isn't a big enough sample size to really change any ranking. I've always said that I think Aldon will ultimately be the better player. I even said leading up the draft in 2011 that I'd have drafted him over any other player for the Pats. But Miller outperformed him in their rookie seasons.
