How do you feel about Merriman now?

It wasn't like he had a choice, he didn't really "bow out", he was done as an NFL player.

That maybe but the sentiments are still the same and I'm sure he could go to the CFL or arena football and have been a avg to good player for a few more years.

His achilles was continually blowing out. That was on top of the knee problems. He was done.

Still can't believe how fast he fell off. Ware is going to the Hall and Lights out is just that.

Our defense really hasn't any kind of "identity" since he faded away after '07. Would have been interesting to see what he would have been post-alleged roids and sans Fisher/Swartz bounty hunt. Unfortunately, thanks to one dirty play, we'll never know. It's an interesting ethics question to consider what is "worse" - getting caught for PEDs or deliberately (ostensibly) ending a player's career with a planned cheap shot.
