Things are getting crazy now.... Conspiracy theory time.....

This is right up there in reliable sources. My sister's brother-in-law bowls with a guy who heard exactly the same story while delivering beer to LOS.

[Nadine]

Doesn't matter

[UKColt13]

I highly doubt it. 

 

But in the end an injury is an injury.

[NorthernBlue]

At this point, nothing should surprise me but I seriously doubt it. Again, if at any point it was clear that Luck would miss the whole season, they'd keep him on PUP. 

 

And even if they took him off for "competitive advantage", why would Irsay come out and say everything for Luck is "mental" right now, and how he needs to trust his body?

 

Plus I'm sure all members of the Colts who are in the know would be told to stay quite about Andrew information. Especially his own linemen who are responsible for his injury in the first place (no offense). 

 

And finally, I'm sure the surgery would have happened anyways. There's a reason Luck was on the injury report for a "sore shoulder" for what seemed like all of last season. And regarding him playing in a meaningless week 17 game, do you think Luck is NOT the kind of guy to do that?

Lol. My thoughts exactly. I couldn't stop laughing while reading it. A whole article based on a rumor from a friend of a friend. 

[Boiler_Colt]

Andrew Luck wants to be traded to Denver confirmed! ../s

 

In reality it doesn't matter how he was hurt, he had surgery just the same and he's behind the schedule of what they had hoped.

[SilentHill]

If Luck hurt his shoulder snowboarding he would be on the NFI list.

That's right, and if he weren't, it would be cheating to put him on the roster!

"Ice Cold Bud Light Here", sorry, couldn't resist.  

[chad72]

It is just like "Grigson is like the son Irsay never had" conspiracy story / theory to me. 

 

Uberific rumoristic conspiracy theory I say.

As much as people want to keep blaming the offensive line due to the sacks and other injuries this shoulder injury is from Luck tackling DB after throwing interceptions so its his fault and not O-Line.

Not to lend any credence to this story, but like I said in the other thread, Andrew Luck was here at Steamboat Resort snowboarding after the 2015 season concluded, and that is 100% factual. That doesn't mean he injured his shoulder snowboarding like the story suggests, but he does like to go to the mountains in the offseason, for better or worse.

Keeping him on PUP would have sent out a negative vibe to the fanbase before the season even started, there was no way they were leaving him on PUP. Irsay has a business to run.  It looks like there is a good chance he could miss 6 games at this point and isn't even practicing yet so the argument could easily be made he should have been left on PUP. I don't recall Irsay ever saying his problem was all mental either, he made a reference to it at one point, but Pagano just said yesterday the docs have not cleared him medically to practice so clearly it's more then just mental.

Can you say Click Bait

[Mr Coffee]

Wow.  Is it just me, or have you guys never even heard of that website?

[Chrisaaron1023]

I thought Andrew Luck hated the cold?!

[The Fish]

It's not really all that crazy. He played the last game of the season with the idea that rest/healing would be the better option. Then out of nowhere, we get word that he did have surgery. Maybe this connects those dots.

As was pointed out in the other thread, it doesn't change his timeline for recovery now though, so it's kind of a triviality and gossip fodder (which I don't mind, but it is what it is).

Colorado has lot's of sun, despite the snow in the winter. It's pretty cool.

I've followed them on Twitter for quite awhile now, but never actually visited the site prior to today.

Why is a Colt's Offensive Lineman using Uber?   Lol..drank too much and to cheap to spring for a conventional cab?  Not finding any of this credible despite Luck saying he liked to snowboard in and old interview.

[Carlos Danger]

Very dumb... Can't believe that a player would tell his uber driver such closely guarded info. 

[NewEra]

I can't even see that dude snowboarding...

Baseball players lie about injuries all the time.

Yeah , I don't see what's so farfetched about a football team being disingenuous , but that being said , until there is proof , or they come out and say it , it's just another baseless rumor.

Baseball players are of a different breed. Kris Bryant has been playing with dislocated fingers, high ankle sprains, and all kinds of stuff this season. remember Curt Shilling and his bloody ankle/Achilles years ago.

Yeah , im not sure the endgame here with lying about the injury.   Wouldn't make sense to hide something like that.  That being said, it is puzzling why he waited a few months after the season to have the surgery. The Colts mysterious ways give credence to this kind of stuff.  Something happened , I believe they believed he was going to be ready for the Rams . 

[GoDeep]

Has anyone seen the movie Dave?  My wife's uncle's barber told me that Luck is in a coma and the guy you have seen recently is a body double.

Irsay also said the line was fixed , Grigson was a good GM , and the Colts are on track to win multiple SB.  

[BlueShoe]

Oliver is from the Andromeda Galaxy. I am not sure if that makes Andrew half alien or if maybe he was adopted.

Everything was great in Luck's 1st 3 seasons, I didn't even miss Peyton with 3 11-5's and a Title Game but I didn't anticipate Luck getting injured nor did any of us nor did Irsay. Until he gets healthy it wont be the same, that wont be until next season unfortunately IMO.

They know this a rebuild season.  Haven't said it , but it's going to take Ballard a couple offseasons to fix Grigson mistakes.  That's a tough sell to a fanbase used to winning .  Lot of people can't get on board with that .  Im good with it .

Yeah I am on board with it too. We just have to be but our fanbase is so used to winning it is a very tough sell. Peyton years and Luck's first 3 years we were Very Good to Great except 2011 so this is tough.

I have a little different perspective . The fans that didn't just get on board with Manning.  The Colts were terrible most of my childhood, late 70s, early to mid-80s, early 90s. 8-8 was a dream season .
