Boca BIlls Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Just now, Carmel Corn said: I think there is a lot of truth to this. I am for some reason reminded of Barry Sanders retiring 20 years (?) ago....great talent calling it quits surprisingly early. Yes but he was on the Lions.
Beast Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Colts fans boo Luck off the field tonight. I seriously hope they go on a spell of 50 years without having another franchise QB. 5 3

Chuck Wagon Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Watch Chad Kelly continue the line of Colts QBs.

Not thinking Jacoby is going to get them there. If any NFL HC gets this, I’d bet it’s Reich. He’s just that good of a person, from all accounts.
Not at the table Karlos Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Watch him go to xfl with his dad 1

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 9 minutes ago, Carmel Corn said: I live in the Indy metro area. Your comment about the city is BS. Buffalo (Sabres) can write a book about rolling over and tanking! I have never seen a worse tank than the 1 year that the Colts lost Manning. Even when Brady went down, the Pats were competitive with Matt Cassel. The Colts just curled up and died. as to the city itself, it’s a basketball town first and foremost. If they’re not winning in football, they’re going to have a really hard time filling seats. Nothing wrong with that— it’s just not a football town. I’ve actually never heard a native of Indy disagree with that (and I used to live there and have otherwise spent a lot of time there).
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, NoSaint said: I don’t doubt he’s hurt. I do not think it’s a career ending injury beyond him deciding he’s tired of dealing with injuries. The reason he’s dealt with injury in this way was in part the colts fault. He has still made the decision not to come back. I would be shocked if doctors told him he cannot rehab and should retire. There’s nothing wrong with making the choice but that’s very much a choice and shouldn’t be lumped in with career ending catastrophic injuries. I agree with all of this except I'm disappointed he would wait until now to do this
Malazan Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Drat, I was really looking forward to Andrew Luck Excuse Thread 2020 too 1 3

I.E., a guy with millions of dollars in his pocket just walking away from the game before he has to so as to enjoy the good life and preserve his health. Being the star QB of an NFL football team is a high pressure way of life. Andrew Luck at the podium right now!

LABILLBACKER Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 It's the Colts own fault. The were embarrassing protecting him. If they choose to tank and go after Lawrence, there's no way Trevor will want to go to this mess.
Nextmanup Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Hardest decision in his life. Endless cycle of injury, pain, rehab, unceasing and unrelenting. In season and off season. he felt stuck in it, only way he sees out is to no longer play football. His joy of the game has gone. Now he's crying so he stopped talking for a moment.
The Bills Blog Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Luck just DID spend a year away in 2017, so I doubt he comes back. He probably labored through last season having realized in 2017 that he had other passions to explore. Colts won't be as bad as people expect. Good team. Good coaching. No more Luck concerns hanging over their head. Luck... The would-be Hall of Famer.

Nextmanup Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 He vowed he would not repeat what he did in 2016 again....injury, pain, etc. He's come to the proverbial fork in the road and he vowed if he came to it again, he would step away from the game.
