Time for Luck, Irsay and Pagano to Speak UP

[AustexColt]

PFT, Mike Florio has quoted Indy Star Kraft as Luck is out for awhile. The silence is getting many to question Luck and Irsay's assurance (Implied) of his presence at season start. They are actually writing off the Colts for 2017 season.

Pffft............Mike Florio

What is an Indy Star Kraft? Did he give up the Pats to write for Indy Star?

So, when there's silence, these guys hear voices?

'Implied' means 'this is how I want to spin it'. You know that, right?

Who's writing off the Colts? Florio, or Kraft. AND, who cares? It's all 'implied' anyway.

 

Oh, and Luck, Irsay, and Pagano, owe us nothing on this topic, until there's something to offer.

[The Fish]

Speak up and say what? This is kind of predictable, no details have really changed since the start of training camp. Maybe they don't really know when he'll be good, or maybe they do and it won't be as soon as we'd like. Either way, the media is going to do what they do with this kind of news..

I've kind of arrived at the season won't be over if Luck can play in the first month, but there's a lot of "if's" there too.

Speak up about what?

[tikyle]

I'm doubting how good this team would actually be WITH Luck healthy.  Oh well, at least we will get to see these young guys play (if they can stay healthy).

[aaron11]

16 days until the opener and he is not cleared to practice

 

give it another week or so, and if he still isnt cleared there is pretty much zero chance he will play in that game 

 

they honestly do not know when he will be cleared by doctors to practice, or how long it will take him to be ready for games once that happens 

[DaColts85]

Indy Star has no writer with the last name of Kraft, so I would question Florio's source lol   

[Boiler_Colt]

Florio probably means Kravitz, who A. Doesn't work at the Star anymore and B. Doesn't have any inside sources. We've known around here that Luck is likely to miss the first week or two, but somehow these national guys are so slow to the punch that they make a big fuss about it.

the op is simply a troll, doesnt even link the actual Mike Florio quote. a google search, twitter search and a search of PFT's website has turned up nothing in relation into this alleged quote.  he trolled on another thread that got locked. 

 

 

edit: adding link to the locked thread, again posting nonsense...

I will ignore him then...thank you!

Only thing posted by Florio in the last week on the Colts. It's even in the "rumor mill" section.  All it says it that it is possible that Luck could miss a week or two.  Nothing we didnt already know.  Again. 

 

 

Colts’ season may be lost before it even begins

Not long ago, the AFC South seemed to be one of the most wide-open divisions in football, with each team capable of winning the crown — and each team capable of landing in the basement. Now, like the kids who squandered their chance to inherit Willie Wonka’s candy empire, some of the candidates already are sliding out of contention.

A week ago, the Jaguars became the Augustus of the AFC South, once it became clear that quarterback Blake Bortles‘ performance would continue to resemble something the same color as the river into which Gloop fell. The Colts now seem to be the next ones to go, thanks directly to the lingering absence of quarterback Andrew Luck.

If, as it seems, Luck will miss one (or two or three or more) regular-season games, a team led by Scott Tolzien already may pile up more losses than it can afford to have, especially since the Colts won’t instantly start winning games once Luck returns. As Bob Kravitz of WTHR.com pointed out on PFT Live (and in his most recent column), the 2008 Colts went through a similar challenge, with Peyton Manning missing most of training camp due to a knee problem and spending seven games catching up. He eventually did, but Manning had a throng of talented players around him. Luck doesn’t.

Coach Chuck Pagano knows it, and he knows he’ll potentially be paying for the deficiencies on the roster with his job. As Kravitz points out, Pagano has called his offense “pitiful,” accused his young players of failing to properly prepare for camp, and openly pleaded for more “grown men” in the locker room.

It’s only going to get worse once the games that count begin, especially with a career journeyman at the helm until Luck can begin the process of trying to play catch up. And while it’s clear that they would be better off if they’d added someone like Colin Kaepernick in March or April, they never considered it.

As Kravitz said, “The Colts don’t have the you-know-whats to sign Colin Kaepernick.”

In the end, what they’ll have plenty of is losses. And they’ll be fighting with the Jaguars for the basement of the AFC South, as the Texans and Titans battle for the division title.

No evidence that said article in OP exists, plenty of topics discussing Luck's health.

 

Locked.
