Wow Chris Borland retires
 

@chris_buckle: Breaking from @OTLonESPN: 49ers LB Chris Borland retiring b/c of concerns about long-term effects of head trauma: http://t.co/fUnFQYUZN5

Wow. Was he a rookie last year, or was that his second season?

Good for him.

Rookie. Was supposed to be Willis' replacement.

At least he gets to retire on his own terms.

Smart. Make a few bucks to pay for an education and to get himself set up in something. Get out.

49ers are soooooooo ****ed.

Holy shit.

I would laugh at the Niners, but I'm thinking this is definitely going to start a trend among young players. This is definitely not a good sign.

...


Eh, **** it.

Eat cocks in hell, Niners. LMAO

let the full on forty-whiner meltdown commence

Definitely concerning for the future of the league.

Maybe they'll trade us a 4th for DJ now.

Damn, whiners are screwed. They will soon regret running Harbaugh out of town and will be calling for the GM's head! Then what will their bandwagon fan base do?

Was this the pick Chiefs trade for Smith.

I don't think it will hurt football THAT bad, there's always going to be someone else therr to take the spot and make money.

But i do think it will start to have some effect at an earlier age

Borland went in the 3rd round.

no he's right, apparently they used it to trade back for a couple of picks and one of them was Borland
