As a combo Ide take the 2 SF LBers and thats mainly due to Dansby's age only.

But for just playing I wouldn't trade Washington for either one of the other two on SF individually.

Not even a question. I luv the 2 #58's, but...those other 2 are the best in the game.

Easily SF's duo. But like Shane said, I'm not trading DWash for either one of them individually. Three great LB's, though.

ya...esepcially considering that we don't know if Los will even be back next year.

really hope they use that cap space they got in the Levi trade to finally sign Los to well deserved extension. dude's got at least two more really solid years left in him.

Patrick Willis is a good player, but his stats have been tailing off.

Only 2.5 sacks in his last 32 games. Hasn't had over 100 tackles since 2010. His best tackling year was his rookie year and none of the rest is close. I'm sure getting Bowman and Smith probably takes away a few chances, but also having them around makes things easier. Though now Smith is gone until whenever, so we'll see what happens.

He's a great talent, and Bowman might even be better, so I would still say SF is better. If Washington didn't have his off the field problems though, I'd take Washington over all of them. Dansby is solid, but Bowman is also unsung. So while I give the nod to SF, our tandem isn't far behind.

Anyways, I posted Willis's stats below and you can see him trending downwards which is something people should be aware of. He's coming back to earth, and most people haven't realized it yet. Another one of SF's good players who is hyped way past what he actually is. Well imo.
