Because noone idolizes you?
I'm perfectly in depth my friend. I have something called perspective. Without that, you're lost.
Lol

You earned it. By being a complete *.
Whether or not Andrew Luck screwed the Colts is for the Indianapolis Colts to decide. And I guarantee you there arent many of them who feel as strongly as you do, because they know what it takes to play a single NFL game and understand his decision.
Buddy you couldn't handle the preparations let alone the game.
Lmao. You are quite funny. Because I call him a quitter I feel strongly? I guess? I mean life is gonna continue and it effects me very little. What does effect me and (I actually agree with you it probably shouldn't) is how much everyone is idolizing this quitter and saying it's ok. For some reason that irks me. Oh well have fun assuming all you want about me. It shows how out of depth you really are.

Do your big projects involve literally risking your physical health?
No.
Stop comparing yourself to a football player.
Lmao how would you know?
Just because you wanna play the game and assume everything about me, I'll bring you into the light. I worked for 4 years at an oilfield company where my life was at risk every day. Whether it was pressure or joints or explosions. I did this because in my area the only way in which you can afford college is to go to the oilfield. I did this while having the highest marks of my entire computer engineer class and also being a college level soccer player who was invited to play at the ODP (Olympic development program). Which I had multiple opportunities to go professional but declined because I had a family early in life.
I quit on none of them and did what was best of me the right way never during season never during the job and always with notice and good graces. I now work as a network engineer for one of the biggest distributors in the world for frac sand and have developed and designed some of the only active micro dish connected automation environments on the planet.
So yea if anyone could say I've been there I'd say it's me. And I was a poor kid from a less than 8000 population town.
Yes Andrew luck is a quitter. I'll stand by it and repeat it. There's a proper time and place to do things and he did not.

So hes not entitled to change his profession? If I quit my job at the coal mine because I'm developing black lung, that doesnt make me a quitter.
Yeah I bet you've really suffered, probably due to your own stupidity, but that doesnt count.
You're just a complete *.
Sorry just had to add. I find it hilarious as you berate me for "calling luck a name" while you assume my "stupidity" and name calling.
Lol funny stuff.

He can definitely change his profession. Just like you and I can the proper way. By putting our 2 weeks in or in my case giving enough notice to finish big projects.
If you walk out of a job with no notice you are a quitter.
If you quit the job properly because there is a risk to your health then you are a smart individual. This is t rocket science lol.

Are you aware of what you post?
You called Andrew Luck a quitter lol
Easy to say that when you dont have to do what another man has to do.
Go get you a juice box, turn on your favorite cartoon and escape to your happy place.
Oh lmao. So a man who quits isn't a quitter? Interesting. Good to know I guess? I stand corrected you are right I called him a name in which he fully qualified for.
I have my own life with my own responsibilities and trials. And I haven't quit. I'd like to put good money that I've endured a much tougher life than a Stanford grad who got fat contracts to play a game.
I do love my juice boxes though thanks!

Now THAT is absolutely hilarious.
Acted like a child how? Because I laughed at a response with little logic? Condescending yes I'll take that lol.
I called someone a name?

Doing right by you is never a wrong choice.
Luck did not hurt anybody. He is doing what is best for him.
He's doing plenty of wrong to 52 other teammates that have aspirations and put in the work.
He's also doing wrong to the owner who invested big money into him.
Can we stop idolizing this guy? He's no saint lol. He's doing plenty of wrong so he can ride into the sunset on his previous high dollar contracts that most likely now some of his teammates will never see because he quit on them.

Bro, look at how fragile the fans are. They cant even take their favorite player retiring. They come unglued. Now imagine those weak minded *s had to actually play a game that is horrific for your health, and have the weight of an entire city on their shoulders and imagine how quickly they would fold.
He cant "not owe you anything" and shaft you.
That's impossible.
He is leaving a lot of money on the table. I'm sure he has his reasons. And to expect someone to go thru an NFL season and risk his long term health for a bunch of spoiled babies who look for any reason to tear someone down? No thanks.
Personally Im about over pro sports altogether. The fans are ridiculous and think their % dont stink.
This is hilarious.
Just an FYI no matter how right you are about crap fans doesn't change the fact these athletes are compensated and know what they are getting into with fans. Let's not act like they are these innocent people who should be sheltered. They know the price of Fame and the backlash when you do something shady in the public eye. Like quitting on your team after all the training camp is done.

No. He is a quitter. If he didn't want to play, he could have let the team know months ago.
You'll be downvoted to hell because people idolize athletes. But this is the truth. If you don't have the passion the time to quit was 4-5 months ago.
The fact he came into camp and wasted everyone's time by regurgitating his passion for the game and other nonsense is low.
As I tell my kids in sports. If you commit it's done. It's a "commitment". After the season you can always reassess and stop or keep going. But once you are in then you give it everything you got. Same with your job, your school, your marriage everything.
Quitters are what they are.

Kind of harsh. Doesn’t want to fight to heal every offseason. It’s a shame but come on he’s not a quitter
Lol kinda harsh? Reality really stings I guess.
Someone who goes half way into the prep for the season and says na I'm good, I'd say is a quitter lol. Literally the definition is someone who quits.
But hey it's whatever I guess you can spin it however you'd like.

Sorry. This is a team first, competitive to the end guy. Something is going on here, and we owe it to Luck to wait and hear what it is. He is the last guy to let his team down; there is something else happening that we'll have to hear from the horse's mouth. I fear serious health issues. We'll just have to wait and find out. But to all of those people out there who have been suggesting this guy is anything other than a stand up guy: you're wrong.
I bet this post will be proven wrong.
He walked away before the going got tough. That's it lol
I don't understand why people idolize these athletes like saints.

Cuz brady actually was protected by the refs and didnt have any cheap hits. So was Manning. Luck couldn't catch a break
Eye roll
Or maybe the organization took it as top priority to ensure they were as competitive for as long as possible by protecting their best asset.

Nice Strat! I'm an LP man myself but can always appreciate a good guitar. His collection is legendary.

I highly doubt that's who Ballard was after. I also am willing to bet Jacobs was never an option in the first. The guy he wanted was Savage. And with Savage gone he had to go his next tier which had plenty so that means trade down.

This is why these types of drafts are what build dynasties. When you have an entire team of above average talent you have depth. Now you don't need a star player to carry your team your team as a whole is just better than everyone else because they don't depend on a single player.
Loving this draft. The only question I have is on Ben simply because I just don't know the player (wish I could have seen more players this draft season ..) but if you think Ballard didn't do well this draft I'm not sure what to tell you. We got better everywhere we needed to be better at.
-
Anyone know anything on Ben?
-
Wish list?
34) AJ Brown. He's there best receiver in the class and the only one with a first aside from N'Keal Harry
37) Byron Murpy. Give the Giants a 4th to move up and take Byron Murphy
59) Charles Omenihu. Value is value. I'd love to take one of the safeties but we can get Hooker in the 3rd so that'll be fine.
-
Dang it my favorite receiver goes to the Pats... Ugh. At least we still have a chance at Taylor, Byron Murphy and AJ Brown. To think there's a universe where we can get two of these guys without having a first round pick is insane.
Cody Ford, Campbell, Samuel, Ferguson, Adderly, Thornhill, Butler, Hooker the amount of talent that is left is insane. I love drafts that are loaded in the second and third rounds :-).

So you are saying there is no value in the first?? I think Ballard values quantity...especially in rd 2....but no doubt who was at 26 had more value than who will be there at 46.
Nope.
From round 1 pick 20 to about round 3 pick 30 the players will all be of comparable talent.
Time to abandon zone coverage?

So when you speak 3-4 and 4-3 you are talking about front alignment. Or in other words how the defensive line and linebackers sit.
When we talk cover 2/man/zone/cover 3 we are talking defensive back coverages and how they are approaching the receivers. Zone consists of playing areas with "zone" responsibilities for both the corners and safeties/linebackers while man is more of a one vs one scenario and the safety plays a coverage top.
It is definitely plausible to mix and match these concepts and is part of what Indy is trying to do in order to become a higher tier defense. When you can disguise coverages it makes it hard for the QB to get a pre-snap read which usually leads to turnovers and sacks.
