exactly, especially since he has had that nagging toe injury for awhile and still played at a high level. Now that the injury should be fixed, Willis is due for a monster season.
Bowman will come back strong too...he has had a long recovery time and other players have had multiple ACL tears and are still playing at a high level.

If we switch to a 4-3 wed be using Aldon and Lynch at DE, Borland at MLB, and Willis and Bowman at OLB. There would be nobody blocking Borland.
Willis is the team captain. Hes still got plenty of highly productive football left. In the NFL you NEVER get a good enough return in a trade. It just makes no sense.

When I watched Borland play this season I saw Bowman. We are straight spoiled at mike LB, but I don't think either of these guys can do the dirty work that Willis excels at. Whether your talking about his man coverage, taking on blocks or sniffing out screens Patrick Willis is an excellent player who would be compared with Ray Lewis more often if he had Rays me first personality.

Why? The rumor came from a no name.

Probably because the original was locked or too full. He has been around for a while. What do you want to talk about?

That is my guess also.
I wasn't around when it was so I just assumed this was the only thread.
Willis needs more pages!
But in all seriousness I do hope he comes back faster than the last couple seasons. Statistically, he wasn't having the best season this year, but he was playing the role of unsung hero very well for Borland.

I don't think Willis and Borland played a single snap together. I could be wrong.

You're probably right. Borland didn't play a single defensive snap until the Rams game, when Willis was injured.

Since I started paying attention to the draft in 2004, there hasn't been a player I wanted the 49ers to draft as badly as Willis. That dude had grand-slam written all over him. Amazing person and talent.

He played with Willis a couple times (snaps, not games)
Anyways, I was wrong. For some reason I thought I remembered them playing together. Must have been Wilhoite
