2.  The original comment was about coaching up players to rush the passer, so the fact that Smith had just as many sacks per year with the Bengals as he did with the Niners proves nothing.

3.. How many examples do I need?  More than 4 in 20 years.  In fact you mentioned Alfred Williams when in fact Williams had more 9+ sack season in four years with the Bengals than he did in five years with other teams. So don't know how you can consider that a strike against the Bengals.

And if just one 10 sack season by Foley is considered "thriving" to you. Then what about the fact that Dunlap had 13.5 in one season for the Bengals, and Michael Johnson had 11.5, and Geathers had 10.5, Justin Smith had his career high in sacks (8.5) with the Bengals,  Alfred Williams had seasons of 10 and 9.5, John Copeland had 9, Reinard Wilson had 9, Danny Stubbs had 9.  

1.) His job as rush end was to rush the passer, something he couldn't do in Cincinnati

2.) Justin Smith may have had the same number of sacks (unlike Brooks, Williams, and Foley, so good for you singling out that one stat), but he was CLEARLY a much better player in SF than Cincinnati.  If that is lost on you, then you are blinded by your own desire to somehow continue to discredit that several players did significantly better after they left Cincinnati.

3.) Alfred Williams was a better pass rusher after he left Cincinnati.

4.) Foley was here several years and did very little and thrived when he got a chance in SD.  Getting shot affected him after that.

Several means more than two and less than five.  Sorry, but that was the idea.
