Smarter folks will realize they can make a few million and get a great jump start on life but still get out with all their capacities.

valid point i suppose, still doesn't change the way i feel about the situation. i feel that allowing a team to waste a draft pick on him, was morally wrong of him to do. also wrong he retired after week 1 of FA without letting the 49ers know ahead of time. heck the press knew about it before the 49ers FO did.
a lot of us working people here can be fired from our jobs without prior notice, but i think most of us have the decency to give a notice before we leave if we have any kind of respect for our employers. I'm okay with borland retiring, thats his decision, but he went about it in the absolute worst way possible by not telling them before the draft, and by not giving them a heads up before FA. And i feel the 49ers have every right to be upset.
