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.

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
Sounds nuts. Plus, can he really play well with this injury, putting aside the career issues?

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
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.

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
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?

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
He will tweek it after a couple weeks then get the surgery...he won't last the season...being a Terp fan I hope this doesn't end his career

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
I follow him and wish the best as a Terp fan too, but my respect goes way down with 1 substance abuse fail. As a Terp I mostly root for Vernon Davis.

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
It's the juice talking, telling him to get back on the field. What a DS.

Re: Chargers' Merriman will forgo surgery, play with knee injury
What an idiot! Hope he doesn't slip on a banana.
Seriously, why are they Chargers even allowing him to play? Their GM should be fired.
