I notice alot his sacks came against teams in the AFC west, teams with bad pass protection. If you look at Aldon Smiths highlights you'll see him get sacks on almost every team the 49ers played lol...

[jonmark93]

@YBRR88 Von Miller had 4.0 sacks against AFC West teams, Aldon Smith had 5.0 against NFC West. This is just my opinion, but I think the Charger' and Raiders' offensive lines are better than the Rams' and Seahawks'.

[jonmark93]

Pro Football Focus (PFF) rated Von Miller as the best linebacker in all of football. His 50.3 overall rating nearly doubled the next best 4-3 OLB (Daryl Smith, 27.6) and easily beat the second best overall linebacker (Cameron Wake, 43.4). PFF also credited Miller with 12 sacks, 19 QB hits, 29 pressures, and 41 stops to go with zero missed tackles.

@RayWilliamJohansen Miller had more tackles for loss and was an every down player. He was a key part of Denver's defense as an every-down linebacker that could rush the passer, help against the run and even drop back in pass coverage.

Aldon is a great player but he was just a rotational pass rusher. The 49ers defense could have got along without Smith, the Broncos defense would have been terrible without Miller.

@YBRR88 what the fuck are you talking about i wasnt comparing von miller to anyone he is a great player and only has 1 season under his belt why would i compare him to Patrick Willis who is already a veteran and a middle linebacker who anchors the defense not a pass rusher like Von. just shut up you are so biased. Niners are a cool ass team get over it

@YBRR88

In other words, he wasn't good enough to be a full-time starter.

He was a great pass-rusher on situational downs, not a FULL-TIME starter like Von Miller.

It's harder to play the run on first and second down and THEN pass rush instead of just pass-rushing on third down.

@IronClady2478 Sure sounds like Von is a "rare breed of LB with power, instincts, and WR speed." It's debatable who's the better athlete and the better player as well. They both won DROY, but play two different styles of LB so it's hard to make a direct comparison. For someone who will "never be better than Willis", he may be better right now. Try again sir.

[IronClady2478]

@YBRR88 Pure homerism at its finest? LOL. He will never be better because Willis has power, instincts, and WR speed? Von ran only 0.02 seconds slower with an extra 4 pounds on him and did one less bench rep. Willis was 0.04 faster in the 10 yard split and has 2 inches higher on the vertical. However, Von was 0.05 faster in the 20 yard split, 0.4 faster in the 20 yard shuttle, 0.53 faster in the 3 cone drill, and jumped 7 inches farther in the broad jump. Von is much more than comparable.

@YBRR88 The Rams OTs couldn't block shit. Seattle and Arizona have bad OTs. Add in 2.5 sacks against crappy Steeler OTs and a Big Ben who couldn't move, 2 against a joke of a Tampa team, and 2 versus a Lions team that throws every play with bad OTs. Plus Aldon had better players around him and no cast + 1 game. Von had 4 sacks against the AFC West. That really isn't that much considering it's about a third of his sacks and more than a third of the season is against the AFC West lol...

@MrIvan9595

Pure homerism at its finest, lol. He will never be better than Willis, for the simple fact Willis is a rare breed LB with power, instincts and Wr speed. V.miller is not comparable.

@QBDogKiller

That is not true. Aldon Smith saw the field more than just on 3rd down, he just wasnt a starter. He was a DE in college, so why would the coaching staff make him a full time starter when he hasnt even had a off-season to learn the position because of the lockout? They put him in the best position to contibute as a rookie, but that does not mean he is a 1 dimensional player. He was unblockable at times, he just has to learn te mental aspect of reading the play as a OLB in a 3-4

@knicksown427

"Bottom line: you have to be pretty damn one-dimensional if you only see the field on third down. "

Exactly.

How great can you really be if you have the best defensive linemen in the league next to you (Justin Smith is a monster) who commands double teams and only play on 3rd down???

Aldon Smith a great pass-rusher.

Von is great football player. He tackles, pressures and covers unlike any rookie in the last 15 years.
