De'Vondre Campbell Leaves The 49ers Game Early as LA Defeats San Francisco

Chris Long reacts to De'Vondre Campbell leaving the 49ers game early after being told to go in and play on Thursday Night Football against the LA Rams. George Kittle, Charvarius Ward, Kyle Shanahan and other 49ers players all took issue with Campbell's decision to leave saying "they had never seen that before," and "he'll probably get cut." Chris Long was surprised by the decision and how in the NFL, you suit up and do your job. The Rams vs 49ers matchup had plenty at stake in the NFC West playoff
standings and the 49ers needed their teammate at that point in the game.

Let's not forget how his times ended in Green Bay as well. He's just a dude that if he doesn't get his way he becomes a drama king

[@gaypreator8547]

Plus, upon signing with 49’s he was bad jawing Green Bay. A man-child or child-man: perspective. Bad news.

[@vangwizard]

No matrer what trash Campbell has as an excuse it'll never be compared to Ward-playing after losing a child, Williams-injured/loss of a child,Warner-playing with a broken ankle,Kittle-playing injured/hamstring,Purdy-playing injured/shoulder,Pearsall-playing/recently shot,Greenlaw- coming back from a serious injury ....no excuse for quitting.

[@Mike__B]

Exactly what I was thinking... did the dude just lose a child? No. Does he have a serious injury? No. Is he just being a baby, and (hopefully) ended his NFL career.

[@tylermeyer2163]

Vondre is a legend in his own mind.

[@whisperecho7815]

I think the big thing too was that he acted like everything was normal up until the moment he was asked to go in the game and then that's the moment he bailed. I think there's a time and a place where you can say you just can't do it and even if it's disappointing it's not to the level of torpedoing a guy's career, but that has to happen BEFORE the game day roster is set so they can activate someone else, elevate practice squad guys if needed, and so on. Once the active roster's out and you're on it, that window is firmly closed. Also, I feel for Greenlaw. He makes this incredible comeback and it's barely being talked about because everyone's talking about Campbell instead.

[@nevyn1221]

Campbell has been an issue all year. He was brutal to start the year, and then they had him share snaps with Winters in an early game and he flipped out to a reporter about it. For the record, I am assuming he knew Greenlaw would get his spot back. I think he was butthurt that Winters was the 3rd LB in the first half and not him. But F dude, you can't run. You can't cover. They can't put you there. We ended up playing a 1 legged LB and a safety at LB, and our 3rd and 4th safeties at safety. Yeah, big shock the Rams could suddenly run.

[@hudson9812]

Bro that’s exactly what happened and I’m a rams fan 😂😭🤘🏽💙💛 ! It seems they bumped him from starter to 3rd string 👀💯 ! He was like nah this yall karma lmao ! It may be his karma though 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@nevyn1221]

@@hudson9812just to be clear, he AND Winters were starting last week (Winters at SAM). Its not 3rd string. Campbell thought he should be 3rd starter and was first backup instead.

[@blackshirt5530]

Great insight Chris…… much respect to your family

[@Rich_7755]

Forcing Deebo the ball after he complained on Twitter, was another huge reason they lost. We’ve known that he lost a step and that’s why he hasn’t been getting the touches. Plus if Kyle never fixes the O-line pass protecting issues and gets WR’s who can separate, then Purdy will be doomed.

"Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win."

[@TinoR626]

After being fired by the 9ers Mike went on to only win 2 more games as a coach going 2-17, where in his last year as a head coach he went 0-11. He inface did not get winners.

Greenlaw is their emotional leader. The 9ers are just too banged up. Love the message they sent by cutting 59. Ravens should've did the same damn thing.

[@dinkumthinkum4247]

Ravens recoup a draft pick if they don't cut him, I believe. They'll probably find reasons to suspend him indefinitely.

[@frankl3518]

@dinkumthinkum4247 I bet you're right. Great point

No .. let's not. Truth.

[@aaronbeatdown]

I’ve got to push back on the comment of “The Niners didn’t have that fight”. I’m sorry, what? Two different players tragically lost children this year, one of which played in this game. One the players was shot in an attempted robbery, he played in this game. Fred Warner is playing with a fractured ankle. He played in this game. It’s actually a bit insulting to say they “didn’t have that fight”. What more do you want from them? That’s what makes Campbell’s refusal worse. This team is plagued with injuries, and this was a do or die game for the team. Without even getting into the “who’s injured/missing” necessarily, to quit on the team when your number is called, knowing that the people standing beside you are dealing with significantly worse issues and still saying ‘Nah’, all because you’re upset you got benched after poor play earlier in the season is some bullshit. And I’m not talking as a fan, but as someone who’s played team sports. WTF?

[@antmj235]

They’ll never see your comment. A waste of time to write

[@jeremytaft8247]

Nahh. People quit things/jobs all the time so mentally he’s fine lol.

[@susiea3097]

No 'i' in team. You always put your team first. However frustrated he was at not starting, just suck it up and don't let your mates down.

[@walterschivo9123]

So because Campbell's feelings got hurt that Greenlaw went in for Greenlaw was supposed to go in and he is the pro and Campbell is a rookie/backup, Campbell chose to QUIT. How can somebody that has their FEELINGS HURT on PRIME TIME, the team was losing, they were going to lose anyway as their season was already over, pull this stunt? Don't bother suspending, CUT the player. ANd fire Kyle!

[@todd.goslin6190]

58 carries is basically 80, but math and stuff.

A traitor of war for quitting on the comrades.

[@eatupsidedown]

You bump him from a starter to third string and wonder why he takes his revenge. Whoever picks the players shat the bed with Lance and now with this guy.

[@nadjasunflower1387]

this guy was an ALL PRO LB with GB...was being the operative word...he was ' bumped ' due to 1) Dre Greenlaw was back, but under a snap count. 2) Campbell's slow, can't cover, and not really good at anything. Doesn't try on the play, unless it's coming to him. couple weeks ago when he could have tackled a RB if he'd made a good effort, he just jogged, and RB went past him to score a TD. the younger LB took that spot because he can do all of the above...it's his own fault he got bumped...

[@DanCampbellsBrain]

Niners have a deep culture problem with some key contributors. John Lynch is the man and I have a ton of respect for him but letting Aiyuk walk all over the team in the offseason was the final domino. At some point you have to value culture over talent when talent wants to be all about drama and problems. Niners will be fine moving forward, but they have a culture issue for sure.

[@jpmartin2312]

Ppl quit their jobs everyday

[@marvinshenk]

The guy is getting millions of dollars to play. Go out there and play.

[@rathananhek270]

We didnt have no more LB...that when they ran the ball all over us...

[@MercedesHarris-l7f]

Hope he was good with his money, cause he will never see another nfl contract. Embarrassing. Shameful.

[@TheSkinnyMechanic]

Cambell should never be in the nfl again. Niners need to trade their coach and a few other overpaid players. Definitely have to cut deebo. He somehow sucks now. Can’t pay Purdy. Need to draft a QB and sign a veteran then have a competition next year

[@alanbravender347]

SO tired of Pro Athletes being such Divas when things don't go their way. Ughhh !

[@NickBusbeeFunkSchoolRadio]

As much assistance as these boys need just to put on those tight ass jerseys and pants, it makes no sense to struggle through all that shit and THEN decide not to play!😂

[@modogg42]

This is great PR by Kyle Shannahan. Make sure all the media knows Campbell wouldn’t go in so he is the story today and not how much of a train wreck the 49ers are

[@sanbell]

Even better PR for Purdy

[@xM40A3x]

This type of thing has always been a problem with Shanahan teams. People already forgot about Deebo putting hands on the LS and Bosa highjacking Purdy’s post game interview with his bs. These things don’t happen on well run teams. Not to mention the year long crying tour all the stars of that team, including Shanahan and Lynch, went on making excuses for why they lost the 2022 NFCC and how they deserved to win. They’ve tried to fight every team they’ve lost to over the last several years until recently where it seems they gave up. Hence why Dre should not have gotten the benefit of the doubt in the Big Dom situation.

[@danshowlund]

@@xM40A3xagree 100%. Kyle might be an Xs and Os genius but he sure as hell isn’t a leader that grown men respect😅. It never wouldve gotten to this point in Pittsburgh, KC or Detroit.
