Let's claim Merriman... the mature take...

49ERSAM · 2010-11-03T06:54:31-07:00

and why not? I am here is Chargers country now and people think he still has a bright future. As for him getting suspended for steroid us, league policy is clear, whether or not the use of these drugs are for rehabilitation of injuries (legally, under doctor's supervision) , you will still get suspended. League reason is there are alternatives out there other than steroids and you made the choice. That is why when players get suspended, it's broacasted that it was for steroids. Not like he got caught cheating/using it illegaly.

I wouldn't mind picking him up but I don't think we make that move.

Why not? If you've watched him play the last couple seasons, you'll know why not.

I wish we claimed Vick. I don't see Merriman or Moss in that same category. Moss because he's an unpredictable jackass and Merriman because his near certain HOF career was derailed by injuries.

There is already a thread in the correct forum and you already know this will be locked so IDK why you posted this, esp. when you consider you posted a thread on Merriman in NinerTalk yesterday that was locked.

But like I said in another thread, if he can become half of what he was he would surpass Haralson so why not pick him up for the rest of the year? If he sucks, oh well let him go, if he plays like he has something to prove and plays well the option to extend is there.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still be real happy with Merriman on our roster, esp given his history with Manusky. If Sing thinks he's going to motivate Merriman out of his injuries though, it ain't gonna work. I think Merriman can still turn his career around. After all, Gore dropped to the third round because of his serious injuries to both knees, right? And he's been pretty healthy since, all things considered.

I thought you were one of those Merriman sucks don't want him on the team guys. I agree with what your saying I also agree with you on the Moss is an unpredictable jackass.

But this is the mature take, it's super serious this time.

Michael Vick never hit waivers (unless you're talking about Marcus). His contract was simply terminated under the league's conduct policy. Once he got out of jail and was cleared to play in the NFL again, he could sign with anyone.

At that moment, the 49ers had Shaun Hill as their Starting Quarterback.
