Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury

This just seems like dumb decision to me, is it worth risking your career over?

It is a dumb decision. He's risking his entire career AMA. Norv should just put him on IR. Force him to sit.

Sounds nuts. Plus, can he really play well with this injury, putting aside the career issues?

He's an idiot. There are times to think about me-first, and risking season/career-ending injuries is one of those times. The Chargers aren't going to take care of him when he's no longer useful.

Didnt he play last year with this injury? I thought I read the doctors couldnt believe he had been playing for so long with the injury?

wow what an idiot. all doctors tell him to have surgery and he doesn't, will be sad to see him end his career so young if it does happen

What a dumb@ss. Maybe he'll just take a bunch or Roids and be okay.

Dude has a garage full of HGH. He'll be fine.

I concur. The coach should place him on PUP or IR.

Can't quite understand this decision
