That's not a good comp in my opinion. Donald is an undersized speed rusher from the inside whereas Campbell is just a monster that dominates you with size and strength. I think speed and explosiveness don't age as well but I still think Donald will be really good. Not all pro or DPOY really good but really good.
I don't mean undersized as in incapable of moving guys I just meant in general he is small for a DT. He is strong but it was really his explosiveness that made him great.
That’s fair but Donald wasn’t exactly fading when he retired and he’s had no additional wear and tear.
He could lose a few steps and still be as impactful as Campbell. Plus, even if he collapses to just being an above average DT, that would still be a problem for O-lines because of Garret and Young on the edges.
Also, I just realized that while Campbell isn't totally irrelevant to my point, the guy I meant to reference is Cam Heyward. He's more like a year older but is more similar physically.
I think their depth sucks but their starters are awesome. Look at the WRs beyond Puka and Adams. Look at the CBs beyond the starters. Their interior LBs aren't very good.
They are really relying on their studs staying healthy.
Was a matter of when not if. Now we will see if he is still Aaron Donald.
I think he’s still going to be awesome but maybe not for as many snaps per game, kinda like Chris Jones.
He will definitely be awesome against the 49ers non existent starting LG. Hopefully he decides to ramp up for week 2.
I’m still skeptical because he has been away for 2 years
his stamina will be a problem and he is in his mid 30s not exactly a spring chicken
He’s 4 years younger than Calais Campbell, who is still great and was never even close to as good as Donald.

undersized but very strong
undersized was his pre draft scouting report

He’s a freak show.

Agreed. That DLine is ridiculous. Don't forget Poona Ford. He will push the C right back into the QB to flush him for the other guys.
Campbell? Calais?

Calais is still great? he hasn’t retired yet?
No, but was still good last season
He doesn't need to be vintage Aaron Donald with that DLine.
I’m skeptical of their defense despite their flashy trades for Garrett and cornerback
why do we assume a 39 year old quarterback will have another great year or be healthy
There are legitimate concerns about special teams and the secondary
