Regardless how you feel about how they left, in the end they were both all-time great linebackers for this franchise who gave us fans unforgettable memories
and most of us do not care how they left us.
Bill Walsh certainly didnt care how they left.
"You only have about 2 years left here." "I don't think you can make the team, and if you do, I want you to take half pay." "I only want your good years."
Walsh was brutal. I probably would hate the man if I were a 49er great and he told me those things.
Walsh's ideology was that it is better to get rid of a player 2 years too soon, than 2 years too late.
