Probably time to hang 'em up.

Eh. He was good last year, he's been hurt this year. Looked fine when he played earlier in the season . I don't know if it was rust last night or what, but damn, he was awful. Little early for the hang em talk I think though.

Even though he'll be 36 next year?  I know Whitworth and Peters are still playing, so I guess age is just a number for tackles. 

But it seems like he's breaking down.  I guess if he's still serviceable he might as well play as long as it takes the Niners to find a legit replacement.

Age is what it is. Not completely unrealistic to play okay at that age, as you mentioned. Problem is, I have no idea what he is moving forward. He was not good in preseason, looked fine briefly before the injury (broken leg), and then looked awful last night. I just don't know if what happened last night was real, or just rust / recovery related. Even worse, if he misses time with this injury, I won't have a better understanding until even later.
