People (including myself here) are having a hard time with the fact that maybe they just really don't know when he's going to be good to go.

I just hope that some of the fear mongering that there's a cover up about the severity/status of the rehab is wrong. You'll have to forgive some of us that have watched this team be less than forth right with the status of the franchise QB before though.. 

 

Count me as getting more nervous about this by the day.

I've already prepared my soul that he's going to miss time, so if he doesn't that's gravy.

The most important thing is to not let him comeback before he is ready.  I would rather he miss sometime now and be completely healthy than risk making it worse.  Everything will be fine.  Worst case,  we get a high draft pick next year with a healthy qb on the cusp of becoming elite

I'd rather have him miss a few weeks, at least until Kelly is back at Center. Don't wanna risk seeing Luck injured yet again.

I believe if there was ANY chance that Luck can miss a significant amount of games, they've already brought someone in. My gut feeling is, that for the Colts, the fine line might be somewhere at 1, maybe 2 games. If they think Luck will miss 0 to 2 games, then they'll go with Tolzien. If they think he might miss more, then they'd bring in a replacement. They haven't done it yet, so I assume, Luck is either still on tract to be back for the season opener, or won't miss more than 2 games.

*IF* Kelly is back at center. Hopefully he is, but it doesnt sound good.

What doesn't sound good?  Nothing has been mentioned about his ankle

[sreeb2deeni]

I realize the injuries/surgeries to Luck and Newton were different, but it sounds as though Cam has aggravated his repaired shoulder and now has to sit everything out. Would it be fair to say that the Colts have handled Andrew for the better since there is no indication that he has aggravated his surgically repaired shoulder? I am all for the "don't rush it" rehab process the Colts appear to be taking with our most important player. If I was a Carolina fan, I'd be more concerned about the QBs health moving forward.

This what I'm thinking, too.

If Andrew wasn't going to be ready....we'd have brought in another QB by now so he could play in the pre-season.

That QB acquisition would have had to have been made by now.

 

So our management must believe Luck will  be ready in week one

 

 

[oldunclemark]

By the way..is anyone else surprised that Reggie is good on the air..

I never thought of him as a TV guy but he handles himself  well..gets his thoughts out

[John Waylon]

He's not wrong.

 

The 2008 season stands as proof.

Wasn't the same thing said about Peyton and Painter?

No. That just has no connection to now....different people..different players

The past never repeats itself..

My guess is Wayne is just going off what the Colts and other local media guys have been saying about Luck there at the end rather than him having inside info on this.  If he did I don't think he says the first part.

Collins was brought in once it was clear Peyton would need another surgery and pretty much miss the season.  Up until that point they were hopeful Peyton would be back all be it not at the start of the season.  

 

Still I think this is closer to 08 when Peyton missed all of the pre-season but was ready to go week one.  Luck might not be ready week one but I think he will be ready shortly thereafter.  Still expect a slow start from him just like Peyton had in 08.

Exactly. Not that it'll automatically make the Colts offense significantly better in the beginning though. It took 5-7 weeks for Peyton to get back in form in 2008. So Luck might also need several weeks to regain even his 2016 himself. (And he very well be better than his 2016 by the end of the season.)

The opener is not a division game and not a conference game so sit Luck.

That is something to consider

Good point. Every single game is meaningful and should be treated as such, but at the same time health should always take precedence.
