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.

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

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?

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.

It's the juice talking, telling him to get back on the field. What a DS.

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.

I agree. If I am AJ Smith (shoot me now by the way in this case) I IR him in a heart beat.
