UCSBDirtyBird Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Local San Diego radio reported that Merriman has elected to have the surgery, and will be placed on IR later this week. How much motivation do you think he got after seeing Brady go down, and Young's injury and alleged ill treatment of his coach. It could also be that he was just disappointed after the loss on Sunday. Merriman did leave the field for a while on Sunday, sometime in the second quarter if I remember correctly, but I think he came back. Either way, I think he is making the right call, no need to risk a career playing on a bum knee.Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Same Ol Falcons Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The crazy thing is, his knee is in worse shape than Brady's - I thought from the beginning it was rediculously stupid of him not to get the surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much he has left on his contract, but it certainly doesn't take care of him until he is 35. His decision to play was foolish to me. His life though, I am just glad he came around. I'm still a bit down on him because of the whole juice nonsense, but he has talent. There is no denying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I guess he finally came to his senses when he saw how much of a non-factor he was during that Carolina game.Big dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonsfan Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It is now being reported that he was told to have surgery at the end of last season. Of course, the same doctors that told him that then cleared him to play this year! Either way, I think he is doing the right thing now, new contract notwithstanding.
