How do you feel about Merriman now?

[Buck]

I'm honestly surprised that he has remained loyal to the city of San Diego and it's fans, and he seems to be a fan of the Chargers.

He was one of those brightly lit flames that burned out too soon, but for a couple seasons he was the best past rusher we may ever have had.

I like it.

[6025]

When he was on roids he looked like the best pass rusher ever.

[Bolt-O]

I think he's a good guy, probably too much to handle for AJ Smith. I know some people didn't like the self-promotion, and that he did roids, but sometimes the 'tude is needed on the team to spark others.

[KNSD]

Fuck the Titans.

[Boltx]

Still a fan.

Shame his career was derailed so soon.

[Boltergeist]

Fuck the Titans.

Fuck Jeff Fisher.

[Antonio's Gates]

Always gave it everything he had. We don't have anyone with his attitude on the current defense and it's a huge problem.

[QSmokey]

Merriman was never was he seemed to be, i.e., the REAL Merriman didn't last very long. He eventually got what was coming to him (faded into obscurity) but he was a master at selling himself.

[TTK]

Gotta respect him for getting behind the stadium efforts here.

[Boltjolt]

Ive never had an issue with Merriman. He is still young at 30 and could be playing. I wish he never had the knee injury and was still here.

[QSmokey]

Do people here REALLY think it was the knee injury that derailed his career? Amazing how only 2 of us have mentioned the 'roids. The guy was a fake, pure and simple. Not what he appeared to be. Knee injury or no knee injury.

I agree with Smokey here.....most of his success and $$$$ came from his using and abusing roids......it drove his draft value through the roof, he probably could have been an above avg. 4-3 DE in the NFL for a long time without the Roids




I always wonder what happened to have Parcells promise Merriman he would draft him if he was available when the Cowboys picked only to go with Ware.....Inthink someone tipped him off
