It depends on how far you have progressed. I wont improve at all from leg curls, i need to do calculated overload squatting like smolov, or several different squatstyles per week like reactive training.
But in his case, it will improve his squat. Because he wont need to do a serious volume with alterations in style to cause microtrauma and IGresponse.
In his case, his squats will cause it, and everything that trains legs will also cause it but to a lesser degree. Furthermore he'll develop every musclegroup he'll need for stability around the knees and ancles, so yeah
He'll benefit alot from leg extentions and curls
Who told you that ?
Squatting targets the quadriceps, glutes(when done right), hamstrings(when done right) and hips to a high percentage.
Leg press targets the quags 100% and taxes other muscles too, but to a lesser extend.
You should definatly combine them. Squat is your main leg excercise. Leg press then hypertrophys the motherfucking quads to to limit.

You cant comprimise for fears jack. If you increase to a new weight, or you feel not confident that you'll make it, ask as spotter
for spotting,
follow like this :
when the squatter fails (descends again) grab like this :
If you are spotted like that, you can totally fail and the other guy will easely bring you up again.

disagree? i go heavy with everything for legs extensions, feel it more if i got the movement under control as opposed to just swing raising

An example of what i mean is this: http://www.dragonsbackrace.com/, around 280 km over 5 days up 5 mountains around 2500 elevation. I plan to enter the 2016 run and do some two/three day events this season
