    Hope there is no permanent eye damage, Chargers being very stingy with updates and now they don’t even know if he will participate in camp.

    Definitely made the right call on letting him walk. Would have been looking at a RB room of Warren, Gainwell and Patterson.

    Maybe their stadium can play Katy Perry's "Firework" every time he gets the ball.

    I hope there is no damage as well. Certainly a scary situation.

    We made the right call letting him walk, fireworks or not.

    Never liked his running style anyway, no quickness or speed, questionable vision. Just a straight ahead runner who needs big holes.

    It’s just piss poor luck. I like Najee and wish him success, except against us. He was a decent player and had success despite the mediocre coaching and game plan. Hope for a speedy recovery

    Wishing him the best. Sounds like a freak accident that could happen to anyone

    I was scratching my head a bit when they declined his option but it makes sense in hindsight, and not because of this accident. He was a great competitor but lacks burst and vision (excuse the pun) and there was always going to be a ceiling on what the running game could be with Najee as the lead back.

    Maybe Johnson won’t be good either, but at least the team is trying to get better

    Najee's field vision. Not related to his accident. Hoping Kaleb Johnson can see the field better,

    Yeah, because if he was still with the Steelers means this accident would've happened the same way :rolleyes:.

    I really, really disliked that Canada guy.
    I liked that Harris could catch and I did have a little problem with his North-South running.
    He could smash guys, no doubt.
    So as an OC I would have taken advantage of his pass-catching and run him in the middle with the play-action formations and used circle routes, Curls, and flare routes. What the Charges are likely to do.

    I don't wish any ill-will to him, what kind of person does that?
    I do agree that his time here was probably over and I don't understand why our GM didn't try to trade him? Even if it was for a 7th rounder... or part of a trade for a player.

    Didn't JPP of the Giants completely destroy his thumb in a fireworks accident? Dude had a stub for a thumb from what I remember.

    I have 5 daughters and 5 granddaughters, so believe me I am well aware of Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
