I'm their primes, who was the better pass rusher out of these two

Great points. My hope is that the continued development of Kinlaw will help Bosa and turn them into a terrifying pass rush duo like the Hart/Hardman Kleco/Gastineau legendary pairs of old.

I add Dean/Johnson pair because that whole defense was terrifying if you add Michael Carter and Dwain Board on the opposit side. It's my hope that this years DLine has that potential kind of talent.

It would have been nice to see those 4 play together longer. but Dean and Johnson were near the end of their careers and only had 2 decent seasons together in SF. Pee Wee was actually the most effective pass rusher during that time. Sadly, Dean died at 68 and Johnson at 57.

Aldon Smith should have been the face of the Niners but his mental was his demise. He was my favorite player by far two years in and then the bottom fell out year four

I think it's Bosa. He does what he does without the benefit of Justin Smith tying up the entire interior of the offensive line for him.

Id say this as well, emphasizing that Bosa is the better overall player. Bosa playing the run and setting the edge and his motor, he is a true three-down player.

Aldon was an incredible pass rusher and I'll trust Trent Williams assessment of his pass rushing skills.

Y'all are forgetting Aldon eventually was no slouch in the run game and was about as good in pass coverage as Bosa. Bosa came in ready from day 1 I'll give him that.

All those plays where we're impressed with Bosas motor because he chases down a QB or RB from the opposite side but just barely missed…Aldon finished those. Dude was one of the few who could chase down prime Russel Wilson.

Bosa is great, and barring injury, will most likely have a HOF career but Aldon was on track to break ridiculous records.
