Why doesnt Andrew ever get hurt?

[oldunclemark]

All QBs get beat up and they miss some practices...show up on the injury lists..

Miss games....play hurt

Nobody gets hit more than Andrew Luck...we've all seen it

Is he like 'Captain America' or something?

To my knowledge..Andrew has never missed a game or practice..in 3 years.....right?

Its a simple question, I admit .........but how does he do that?

hit the gym.... Same reason tebow was so durable.

[CR91]

hitting luck is like hitting a freight train. go ask burflict

Phillip Rivers takes a lot of hits (terrible O line plus he isn't mobile) and is very durable too. Never missed a start due to injury in his nfl career.

Because - till now, no one has jinxed him with this question.

[B~Town]

A mix of good genes size and some Luck .

[Gavin]

Because he is invincible of course

A Jesus, a Tebow comparison. Please no comparisons with him and Luck, okay? And besides, He played in like two seasons worth of games over his stellar three years in the league.

Way to jinx him...wow probably the dumbest question I've seen asked on here

sorry Jim

[zo6scott]

Just lucky I suppose.

I'm not dumb enough to believe in jinxes...

But seriously...Tebow got hurt in Denver missed practices..played with a seperated shoulder once..

Phil Rivers was a walking injury late this year and he doesn't get hit like Luck does

I dont know of an NFL QB who takes the hits Andrew does who never shows any effects....

Who is he .........Chuck Norris??

[oldunclemark]

Because he is invincible of course

I think Gavin has the answer!

[cbear]

I always wondered that myself.  But his career will be shortened greatly if that kind of pounding continues.  He won't be young forever.  Let's hope that the protection he's been getting lately will continue!

[ColtsLegacy]

Because he's built like a brick %house.

Come on, Bap/.I'm a Cubs fan, too...We dont believe in curses..

[COLTS449]

Simply put, because he's tough.

[jvan1973]

Toughness and he has been "lucky"

[Nobody]

You are all jinxing it!

[HtownColt]

Why don't I ever hit the lotto?

[a06cc]

Luck is luck, he'll be alright. As long as the Oline gives him the time we need.

[bsteves]

He's a football player... Football players get hit. Sometimes they get injured, most of the time they don't. Idk what kind of question this is..

[bestQBever]

who knows

[SteelDragon]

I suppose it's a combination of genetics, being in shape, eating right, and playing smart. Having had nearly a decade-and-a-half of the ultra-durable #18, perhaps we do take it a bit for granted.

[Scully]

Luck takes care of his body, and knows how to protect himself against hits. It's not rocket science.

[MJS87]

Ya.. Seriously, can we like CLOSE this thread? And maybe delete as well? This is just asking for it.

[Warhorse]

Everytime I see the title to this thread, all is think is.......................creepy.

[braveheartcolt]

All wrong. His girlfriend forgot his birthday last year.

Likely a combination of efficient movement, ideal physique and a gòod prehab programm

Not crazy about the subject in this thread.

It may also be that he is not afraid of being hit. He actually seems to thrive on it. He seems to know how to absorb the hit instead of bracing against it. It also may have something to do with the fact that he is still young. Old people don't bounce when they fall :-)

[ColtsBlueFL]

I have no uncertainty that every NFL player gets alittle dinged up during the season, QB's included.  That said, between the rules instituted over the years to protect the QB and the ability of a few of them  to move around in the pocket, (or scramble/extend the play), and slide at the end of a run all help. That said, even with Luck ability to sldie in the pocket, run, slide, etc... he does get hit hard too often IMO.  He's still young and strong with fast recovery times.  Later in his career this may not be so and he'll develop countering instincts to offset.

 

Brett Favre started 297 consecutive games in the NFL. Peyton Manning started 208, until his neck surgery.  But did you know there are many active streaks going that Luck isn't near? 

 

Eli Manning - 167

Philip Rivers - 144

Joe Flacco - 112

Tom Brady - 96

     ***  interesting factoid, this is Tom's second streak.  His first went 111 games and ended in Sept 2008  ***

Matt Ryan - 83

Drew Brees - 80

 

So I hope Andrew surpasses most all of these guys when this is revisited down the road.

[HOZER]

I've noticed Luck has worked on his slide, that will definitely prolong his career......although I bet every time he slides he would rather truck someone for a few extra yards!!!

[tfunky14]

Thanks for the jinx....

probably the best answer
