The crazy notion that Luck is unhappy....../ Luck Rumor not true/ Clearing the air ( (merge))

[JRnINDY]

Also Greeny was retracting his statements, saying they were opinions 

[TKnight24]

Nadine, saw you locked the rumor thread. It started on Mike & Mike on ESPN this morning & it rapidly picked up over the past few hours. Here's Andrew Luck's agent on the matter: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jackie Daytona]

Obviously it's all conjecture at this point, but does anyone think there is any truth to the idea?

[That Guy]

He just watched us get spanked from the sideline.  I doubt he's happy about that.

 

Beyond that, I doubt he's really troubled being in Indy.

[RollerColt]

LOCK.

I messaged a mod about the other thread lock, and worded this to be a discussion on whether or not Luck is unhappy/happy......  was told that would be ok 

[Jackie Daytona]

just wanted a place for those who wanted to carry on the discussion to post, since it was a topic, however absurd it may or may not be, on a major national sports outlet.....

If anything this is a good thread, to quell the fears. A response from Luck's agent denying the rumors. Not sure why anybody would call for this thread to be locked.

That's what I was hoping this thread would be a good depository for...... now, I personally don't see why Luck or anyone in his "camp"  would wait until the start of the season to make a stink about this, even if they were truly unhappy about how his injuries and playing time were handled....

[Nadine]

Hey all, our position is that rumor threads are not allowed, especially when they imply that they are supported by official reports.

 

Fans speculating is fine, so the thread, especially the title of the thread makes that clear.

The two new threads that popped up and were merged are fine because it's just fans saying what they think and official comment from Lucks agent via Kravitz

It's cool. I see now it's been merged. For a moment there we had practically three threads going on about this topic.

Greenberg KNOWS better than to frame opinion as fact, or to leave the door on an opinion WIIIIDE open to conjecture that paints it in a light as if it were fact......  just irresponsible viewer/listener mongering......

[Jackie Daytona]

Now watch, Dakich is gonna come on and go on and on incessantly about how he wouldn't blame Luck for wanting out.......

[Indy500]

Why would he be happy?(apart from being paid millions $)

 

The team in general is terrible, there is no consistency on the oline, he gets killed every time he plays, he has been injured for over two years, the coaching is quite frankly a joke, the team hasnt had a winning season In two years, the team just got roasted, and on it goes I see no reason for him to be happy at all to be perfectly honest.

 

As a long time Colts fan I am certainly not.....

[TKnight24]

 

 

 

 

 

[Fisticuffs111]

I like that his agents states, and then reiterates, that Luck will come back when he's ready.

I know that's always been the plan but I couldn't help but get a little worried that, after the Rams games, there might be some panic to rush him back.

[snkdy]

We've never heard anything from Luck's camp in five years. Not sure why anyone would believe that rumor anyway. 

[BlueShoe]

And let's be more clear. 

 

This is also coming from ProFootballTalk, Mike Florio; aka Patriots fan. 

 

He takes extra shots at the Colts every chance he gets. He is always biased against the Colts, and he doesn't even try to hide it. 

 

Mike Florio is not a real journalist. He is a fan playing dress up. He has a job because they're are enough Patriots fans to follow him. 

 

When you see/hear this guy talk or read his articles, always remember first and foremost that he is a Patriots fan. 

 

 

[MarquisJ]

glad this was cleared up.... the rumor wasn't too absurd to believe though imo

[Nadine]

I've merged the third thread.  sorry for the delay, IP decided to do an update right when I was cleaning that up.

Yep

[indy1888]

Greenberg is on Dakich's show right now but i have missed most of it. I did hear Greenberg say he spoke to Lucks agent who did deny it. Dakich then said he has heard that Luck may not play at all this year and Greenberg said he has heard that from several people as well.  That i could deffinitely believe.  Greenberg is also going to talk about this again tomorrow on his show.

[Restored]

Why would the team NOT put Luck on IR if he wasn't going to play at all this year? It doesn't make any logical sense.

[The Fish]

Eisen is toying around with this too.

 

I have no idea why these things get so much traction. If Andrew himself said he's cool, people on ESPN and Florio ect would insist he's not anyway.

 

The guy is paid. He's not going anywhere- irrespective of whether or not he's super excited with this squad or not.

[Pacergeek]

Why would Andrew Luck want to stay here? Have you seen his inept coach? Have you seen the roster he has to work with? Andrew seriously deserves better. It's almost to the point where he is David Carr

Same reason they didn't put Manning on IR the year he never played, same reason they didn't put Luck on IR the year he lacerated his kidney.  They want to hold out hope he can return plus not kill business.

[indy1888]

Rick Venturi on Dakich now, says in his gut he does believe there are some problems here. Maybe not to the extent that Greenberg is saying, but not totally off base.

[needanoline63]

Why would he want to play behind a line that is gonna end his career? I'd be unhappy to

Yeah, Pagano and company have had six years to fix this and it's still a mess. 

[BProland85]

Really hope Luck can be in a great scenario by getting Harbaugh as HC next offseason.

have you SEEN the contract the dude inked?

[Jackie Daytona]

Hell, Luck sitting all year and us pulling a San Antonio Spurs lost season with injured Admiral, and ending up with a * talent bump because of it, may be best case scenario...... not popular or fun short-term,  but looks what you can get for a QB hungry team when you trade high picks and there are guys like Darnold potentially, and Rosen coming out......  Look what was traded for RG3......  I'd sit through a rough year if I thought I could get that kind of haul.....   and a healthy luck, along with a new coaching staff to start season 2 of my GM tenure....

[Jackie Daytona]

basically, maybe it's time to pay the piper for Lucks first two seasons where the team vastly outperformed it's roster quality......

They could have at least kept him on pup.

They didn't put Manning on IR because they weren't expecting the setback that occurred with him. They also thought Luck had a shot at the end of the season back in 15'. Entirely difference circumstances here where everyone was preaching that Luck would return at some point early this season.

[DougDew]

Sharks smell blood in the water.  Other teams would like to loosen him up from ties to Indy.  The media would like a controversy to report, followed by him going to a large market.

 

Luck is getting paid and enjoys tremendous respect from everybody.

 

The idea that he deserves something better is just a thought the entitled diva crowd relates to.

No, it's not entirely different.  Manning suffered his setback before the regular season even started.  They knew the problem they had with him. They could have easily put him on I.R.   Sure, they "thought" Luck might return in 2015, kinda like they "think" Luck might return this year.

[Fisticuffs111]

I still think Luck's going to come back at some point this year but I wouldn't be shocked by anything at this point, if he comes back in two weeks or misses the whole season.

There's plenty of reasons to not put him on IR or keep him on PUP, and still have the possibility of him missing several weeks.
