Love that man's game. Thought for years he was the main guy in that LB core and hell the top defensive player on that team.
Hearing ACL and next year (at least the start) is in doubt
Best MLB in the game IMO

Usually at least a full year for an ACL. Adrian Peterson skewed everyone's perception as to recovery times unfortunately. I don't think Bowman will do the Niners any good early next season if he's "healthy" but lumbering like RG3 was this year.
Bowman is supremely talented, but he has so much talent around him that it's tough to give him the clear nod as top MLB.
That injury was ugly. I was glad they couldn't review the play, as I had already seen enough. In a clear case of "the ball don't lie", Seattle soon fumbled the ball back to the Niners anyway.

Who's a better MLB?
Carolina guy isn't close and Bowman producing like he does with Willis on same team makes it more impressive
Every big 49er defensive play seems to be done by Bowman

Bowman is overshadowed with Willis being on the team, but he's a tremendous player on his own right. I couldn't believe none of the zebras saw the fumble recovery by Bowman. Thankfully, karma went to work right away. San Fran needs to rework their secondary and get a vertical threat.

Best MLB in football. Amazing instincts, has a nose for the ball, can rip it out of guys arms, maybe the fastest LB. And he's a humble dude with his head screwed on right.
Worst part was a select group of Seahawks fans throwing stuff at him when he was being carted off the field. They gave Seattle fans a bad rep.
Seattle stadium and the raising of the 12th man flag before games is INCREDIBLE. What an atmosphere to play a big game in.

ACL and MCL tear but not as bad as feared. Expected to be ready for season opener.

I'm not downplaying his talent, just saying it's a lot easier to make all those splash plays when you have so many playmakers that need extra attention on your defense. Best front 7 in the league IMO. Seattle's D overall is better due to better DBs, but their front 7 is at best 2nd to SF.

Hard to compare front 7's because 49ers play a 3-4 defense and Seattle plays a 4-3
