Time to get rid of LUCK

[BullsColtsFan1]

Yea sure Luck threw that horrible pick at the end of the half which would have given the Colts at least a FG but he put up 260 yards and 23 points against a pretty solid Houston defense.  It's not his fault his defense gave up 17 points the last 6 minutes of the game that the Texans had the ball.

true, but Luck still needs to play better

[esmort]

It's laughable that some are trying to blame Luck for the current state of the Colts. Does he make some frustrating mistakes sometimes?... Sure, but so do most QBs.

 

The difference is that the rest of the team is such a train wreck Luck's mistakes stick out more. Combine with letting him be a tackling dummy since he came into the league, along with no quality coaching (he didn't get a Tom Moore), and expecting him to carry a horrible team on his back under those conditions..and you get QB with some bad habits

 

Imagine what the game would have looked like if we swapped Luck for BO, it wouldn't even have been a game the Texans would have blown us out of the stadium. 

[Catloaf]

Luck didn't allow 17 unanswered points within 7 minutes + a few minutes on OT.  The defense did.  Luck is the reason we got 14 points ahead to begin with.

Im all for trading Luck, too. But not cause I think he sucks but more of he deserves to be on a more successful team. The colts  DO NOT deserve him. And they're wasting his career away. 

 

We are/were a successful team. The problem here is Pagano and his incompetent minion coaches.  Get rid of them and I'm pretty confident Luck and the rest of the team will play better.  You're right, they're wasting Luck's career away.

[presto123]

 Luck has outperformed Manning up to this point in their careers, but lets just ship him out. It's all his fault. Nothing to do with the coach, GM, and owner that has no clue.

I don't know if you should get rid of him,  but the criticism is spot on.  Im so sick of his robotic oress conferences after another dumb mistake.  That throw had no business being made.  None.  U ad 3pts there and we win.  Nuff said.  His play is causing us gms now.  

 

Really?!!! Let's just GLOSS over the points he DID put on the scoreboard against the 5th ranked defense in the league coming into the game WITHOUT JJ Watt. His int in the FIRST half did not cost us the game. Giving up a 14pt LEAD with BIG plays and POOR tackling in the final minutes of the game to one of the WORST ranked offenses in the league is what lost this game!! Oh and a conservative hc trying to hold on YET vents about "killer instinct" AFTER the game... lol

Your exactly right good sir luck on the Texans or any of the teams we have played in fact would have put up atleast 40 

[BAYOU COLTS]

We have a good quarterback who has the potential to do some great things. Luck is in dyer needs of a better coaching staff. If its one thing you should point out? The Colts to there worst when drafting and it shows on the field. 

 

Sorry if the truth hurts!

the defense is losing us games.  Luck deserves some blame absolutely.  But he didn't give up 14 points in 3 minutes.  If we are going to blame him for losses we also need to blame the defense

Please ship Luck to Baltimore. Here is one * for Luck !

We are the type of team where Luck can have no INT's and 3 TD's and we could be up 21-3 with 5 minutes to go and still lose 24-21. Then some would still blame Luck.

[BAYOU COLTS]

If Luck was the quarterback for the Broncos team they have now. It would be safe to say REPEAT. Kubiak knows how to coach quarterbacks. COLTS offense is so predictable. Luck doesn't have time in the pocket. 

[richard pallo]

I am expecting Luck to have surgery on his right shoulder at the end of the season.  If we get eliminated early I expect they will shut him down and IR him for the season.  As long as we are in contention he plays unless it gets worse.  Right now the doctors are letting him play.  I think he got hurt in one of the earlier games and is gutting it out.  Resting him during the week is the current prescription.  Players play hurt and I think he is right now. I see him aiming the ball sometimes and over throwing and under throwing balls quite often.  Yes, he makes some great throws once in awhile but he is Andrew Luck and he can still make them, on occasion, when hurt.  Just my 2 cents. 

[RomanianColtsFan]

In my mind doesn't make any sense to even say that they should get rid of Luck.

However, Luck needs to take more heat than he does. He definitely doesn't play like the best paid QB in NFL. I don't believe he is that transcedent QB that many Colts fans who lived through Peyton Manning years would like to believe.

[NewColtsFan]

 

So.....    to keep score.....

 

We are roughly halfway through this insane thread....    and one person agrees with the OP and says trade Luck.

 

Many agree Luck should play better.        But they also agree he's mostly played well this year and is the only reason we're even in the games we're in.

 

And the vast majority think this thread is insane......

 

OK.......     carry on.....       we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming!

I would have to go back and look it up to be sure, but I think the original shoulder injury was early last season... and if that is the case why wouldn't they hold ahead and do the surgery while he was already out?  I think what you are seeing now is just the ongoing maintenance and therapy/rehab of that earlier injury? 

 

IMO his throwing motion and velocity look the same, and he has always had a tendency to get a little wild with the occasional throw especially when under duress. 

[CyberTwin]

I don"t understand why all these fans are in patient. It takes time to build a competitive team. You want to win so bad right now that you would be willing to get rid of our franchise quarterback for multiple picks that might not work out and lose the foundation of our team. Grigson has been dong better in the draft and is getting more experience every year. We are going in the right direction now. We as fans just need to wait out the storm of a few bad seasons till we get to where they are going. When we had Peyton we did not have a complete team or even good team around him till later in his career. We won game just like we did in Andrew first few years, but the team still didn't have the talent it had later in his career. They are going in the right direction now and building through the draft and saving money for contracts to keep our own. That is how you build a championship team. Just ask the Steelers, Packers and Patriots. That is what they have done for a long time and it works, but it takes time to get those players through the draft.

I agree with the dumb thread thought.    But since it is here, let's make something interesting out of it.

 

Say the Browns offered next years 1,2,3,4,5 round draft picks and their 1 and 2 in 2018 for Luck.   Would you make the trade?

Remember they will most likely have the 1st pick in each round.  

Even as bad as the Browns have been I doubt they would be as stupid as Snyder of the Redskins or Ditka was with the Saints.

He has surpassed what Manning has done in his first 5 years.

Luck actually has played Very Good all season, I wont say Great because we are 2-4 but he isn't Turning it Over at an alarming rate and he is completing a high % of his passes. He even had a 20 Yard TD run last night.

[AZColt11]

Luck is fine.  If some team was gonna make a crazy offer for him like 5 draft picks and more in the next draft then you would have to at least consider it, look at the prospects in the upcoming draft, etc.  But it would have to be can't miss to give up a guy like Luck.  He IS your future.  Get him some talent around him and solid coaching and he will win.

Could you imagine where we'd be without Luck right now? Oh my God, I don't even want to think about that nightmare. A chill just went down my spine literally.

If you mean, I'm tired of foolish penalties, the same scripted press conference lines, a failure to take advantage of a rare lead; & 'What do you want me to do about it?" Man, that response rubs me the wrong way Chuck. It really does. I won't lie. 

 

Then, yes. I'm a crybaby I guess. 

 

It's not directed at you personally KB just my own mammoth letdown on Natl. TV watching my favorite team. When we get spanked like this, it ruins my whole week. 

 

Look, I expect the HC & his staff to fix this & not make the same mistakes week after week.
