Do you think he's making the right decision?

Answer 1

He's just a dumbass football player who doesn't know anything.

Answer 2

No...He's crazy...His career might be over before the end of the season...not that I care much...I'm a Pats fan...but he's an idiot...

Answer 3

No way. He will pay for it in the future whether he messes it up more or not. He needs to shut it down and get the repair done to his knee before he causes irreparable damage. He is taking too big of a chance of shortening his career. He would be better off sacrificing 1 season so he can play the rest of his career instead of playing the 1 year and missing the rest of his career. HE IS BEING FOOLISH.

Answer 4

h**l no hes not making a smart decision. he is one of the best linebackers in the league and hes only 24 yrs old. and still has his whole career to think about. yeah with him they can go the superbowl but they also have to think about the future.

Answer 5

Even as a Charger fan, I'm going to say no.  What he should've done was have the light surgery, sit out for the first few games and then go in and kick some butt.

If he screws up his knee big time, he will most likely kiss his NFL career goodbye.

Answer 6

I guess steriods ruins your decision making too

Answer 7

My understanding is that the surgery would likely take enough out of him that he wouldn't have a career left anyway.  So, take the money while you can.  Besides, everyone knows that all pro football players end up with bad knees anyway.  There aren't more than a handful who get up in the morning without pain every day for the rest of their lives.

Answer 8

He needs to shut it down!
