... from himself.
After seeing four orthopedic surgeons, all of whom recommended that he repair two slightly torn knee ligaments, Merriman says he will play this season, despite the risks.
Wow.
If the Chargers don't step in and convince Merriman to get the surgery, regardless of how it impacts the team on the field, they're nuts. Unless there's something we don't know as far as Merriman's condition is concerned, there's no way in the world they should risk a 24-year-old franchise pass rusher like this.

shawne merriman is an idiot. there are times to man up and there are times to think of your career AND the team's future. this is one of those times for the latter. get the surgery, shawne.
what makes him think he's going to make it through the season unscathed. he's one cutblock or tackle pile from having his career end.

The Chargers should stop him from playing ... not just for his sake, but for their sake. Which is more important to the franchise: a gimpy Merriman for one season, or a healthy Merriman for the rest of his career?
