That's a big first step for someone, to be completely honest. That's admitting there's a problem to begin with, which many people in this situation don't necessarily believe.

KManX89 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 At this point, the only thing he's got going for him is seeing how badly he'll eff up next. The guy needs help, but he's too stubborn to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about places you've worked, but I'd bet my paycheck the NFL provides their employees (especially their athletes) a great deal more support to get through things like substance abuse than any job I've held. There's only so long you can try leading a horse to water before you have to give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've drafted three linebackers with these kind of issues, and they are 1-1 (Bowman and Smith). Foster is the rubber match (and at least they got two years of really good production from Aldon before he fell apart mentally) I don't recall there being any character concerns about Aldon at the time he was drafted. Didn't his lunacy manifest only at the pro level after he started drinking? At any rate, the current FO only has to answer for Reuben, which is bad enough.

Especially under .2 .4 is a death drunk. Dudes a mess. Definitely threw away the nfls super soft attitude towards him. Shows he's been doing this for quite some time.

That's admitting there's a problem to begin with, which many people in this situation don't necessarily believe. And sometimes temptation is too strong or they think they've conquered it and can handle it in moderation or any other myriad of reasons. Lots of people need rehab more than once and be willing to admit "I can get no lower, i need to do this or I will die". A lot of people can't get to that point, sadly. I genuinely hope he gets sober and gets the help he clearly clearly needs, but this HAS to be the wake-up call or he is going to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
