It's A Bad Day To Be An QB1 In The NFL

Cowboys’ pass rusher Aldon Smith was conditionally reinstated by the NFL today, per source. He now is cleared to take part in Cowboys’ virtual off-season program.

BOOM.

Look, I get people will point to the fact that Aldon hasn’t played a snap of football in 4 years. That he’s a shell of himself. A has been. A drunk. But these haters probably haven’t seen this video:

1st look at @dallascowboys DE @aldonsmith moving like THIS at 287 lbs at @unbreakable. This was January so he’s actually bigger & faster now. Proud of the work he’s put into himself.
We’ll show more training videos & hear from Aldon tonight on @fs1 on FOX FOOTBALL NOW 11 ET/8 PT pic.twitter.com/M10ulKi4S5

No clue if Aldon can still tackle but he sure as hell is still big as fuck and definitely can still run.

Lets also not forget that Cowboys new defensive line coach, Jim Tomsula, coached Aldon Smith from 2011 to 2014 as the 49ers defensive line coach and in those four seasons, Smith had 44 sacks in 50 games.

If Aldon can somehow produce just half of those numbers, he’ll be a PROBLEM.

Now sit back, relax and watch Aldon wreak havoc across the NFL:

With Aldon Smith being reinstated, thought I’d take a look back at some of his early #49ers highlights.

The man was nasty. Hasn’t played since 2015, but could be an issue for NFC East quarterbacks. pic.twitter.com/3w6aPsevI9
