Merriman out for season...

[Paniolo22]

per ESPN.
Will have complete surgery to repair torn ligaments.

 

[DanTanna]

Yep. I see it. Got hurt doing his lights out dance.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Wow, he should have realized it wouldn't work...

 

[The Rawhide Kid]

He really couldn't believe that his knee would hold up the entire season. With all those doctors telling him it could be career ending when he's young, it would be foolish for him or the Chargers to risk it all for him to play. My question is why did he decide now. Did he hurt it or does he not like how the Chargers look?

 

[Hostile]

Not really surprising.

 

[bbgun]

A blow to their defense to be sure, but with Brady gone, I still see them in Tampa.

 

[Eskimo]

I'm honestly surprised the medical staff let him on the field with an unstable knee. At least he has finally made the correct decision.

 

[Nors]

I think he realized that he couldn't play with it - and gave in to common sense advice.

 

[Rampage]

If we don't win the superbowl i'll be shocked.

 

[Eskimo]

If we don't win the superbowl i'll be shocked.

Alot of football yet to be played. We are far from a lock to win it all.

 

[CowboyMark]

Thats what he gets for not having surgery at the end of last season. His leg or knee or whatever is injured would have been ready by now. Oh well I guess now with Brady and Merriman down that increases our chances.

 

[PullMyFinger]

Color me surprised.

 

[BigDinAZ]

That didn't take long

 

[Avery]

No way he could play on that leg. If he's lucky, he'll make it back for training camp next year.

He'll regret not getting that surgery earlier. Chargers fans should be rightfully irked.

 

[burmafrd]

Stupid is as stupid does.

I recall several brain dead columnists defending him this past week.

Wonder if they will have the honesty to admit how wrong they were...


What am I saying? Columnists and honesty....

Sorry guys.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Glad he came to his senses before he had time to do even more damage to the knee.
