Aldon Smith Seeking Treatment, Out Indefinitely

((HT: CSN Bay Area))

Okay...

If you were 49ers CEO Jed York, what would you have done...???

Would you have played troubled DL Aldon Smith after his run-in with the law early Friday morning knowing you were going to have him seek help, or would you have had him seek help immediately...???

The 49ers played him on Sunday against the Colts, and the HQ isn't sure, but the whole team seemed disjointed in their loss at home. The Colts defense had their hands in containing QB Colin Kaepernick all day long and the newly acquired Trent Richardson got his first score of the season...

Smith gives his prepared statement after the game:


Smith was booked into Santa Clara County jail Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. He posted $5,250 in bond for his release and was on the practice field Friday afternoon within hours of his 7 a.m. arrest.

7AM arrest and back on the field...

You tell me what's more important...

According to York, there is no timetable for Smith's return.

And Jed York follows up Smith:

49ers Star LB Arrested Again

Safe to say, it hasn't been the best week to be a San Francisco 49er.

The week begins with a crushing loss to the Seattle Seahawks and now as you are deep in preparation for a game with the Indianapolis Colts when you find out your arguably best defensive player was arrested early Friday morning.

Aldon Smith was apparently involved in a crash around 7 a.m on Friday. San Jose Police were called out to a report of a single vehicle crash about that time. Smith was involved, given a breathalyzer test and charged with DUI.

And it's not Smith's 1st brush with the law.

He was arrested in January of 2012 in Miami and charged with suspicion of drunken driving. And recently, his name has surfaced in a lawsuit filed by someone claiming to have been shot at a party at Smith's home.

No word on what the 49ers plan to do with Smith leading into Sunday's game. Our suspicion is, at least for this week, probably nothing.

But there seems to be a theme developing here. We aren't coming out and saying that the teams best Linebacker might have some issues. But this may be the point where an outside party might need to step in with some discipline....

Just our 2-cents...
