Luck being shut down from practice this week.

[needanoline63]

Ya he isn’t playing this year. Figures. Let Jacoby Brissett build up his value then trade him in the off season. Fire pagano. Draft two offensive lineman and sign a veteran. 

[IndyD4U]

I've changed my mind. I wouldn't be upset if we park him for the season, get a top 10 pick, a new coaching staff and a 100% healthy Andrew Luck for 2018

Why the team doctor left?

 

BTW, I know, I know, he wasn't the surgeon.

 

Your guess is as good as mine.

Yeah I have a feeling he doesn't play this year but he will be 100% next year so it's all good.

 

I hope you're right. He's a tough dude. 

[runthepost]

If we drop the next 3 games shut him down it would not be worth it.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Grigson never gave him a Line which is just ridiculous. Now we have Ballard so it will change.

Luck seems to be very similar to your avatar.

It is Bert Jones, "The Ruston Rifle".  One of the greatest QB's ever that had his career cut short due to injuries....praying for a non parallel.

Yep, also Draft more D but Draft O.Line like you said

[DaveA1102]

Although a set back, I don't think we need to hit the panic button yet. He was ramping up his throwing action, putting more heat on them and throwing 30/40 yards down the field. Having not done that for a while he had some soreness in his shoulder.

 

We did what we have always have done, make sure Andrew is healthy, even if that means a few more weeks of Brissett. 

 

We don't make the playoffs this year now I think, but it was always a long shot.

With todays technology Luck will be fine, we are just being cautious. Unfortunately for the great Bert tech wasn't there like it is now.

I had labrum surgery years ago on my throwing shoulder when I was in my 50s. Hurt the shoulder from baseball and lifting heavy weights. My recovery was much less than 6 months. This latest news is disturbing.

I have been a Colts fan since I was in pampers....almost 50 years...I have learned patience!  My Yankees are proof of that as well!

My Cubs aren't going to Repeat but I like the Yankees chances to advance. I know I changed the subject. Yeah same here, I have been a Colts fan since 1984 had to put up with Pagel and Schlicter  here.

Good conversation from JMV on how FUBAR the handling of this injury situation has been , once again. Basically agreeing with many fans that feel they have been lied to all along. Also said he knows for a fact the Colts brass was "very concerned" with fan interest this year before the season even began.  He's getting ready to have Kravitz on to discuss this as well.  Also mentioned the need for a new voice in the organization such as team president, someone like Manning, because Irsay now days does more damage then good when he speaks. Such as saying that Luck would be ready to start the season. That was either a flat out lie to sell tickets, or just saying what he thought the fanbase wanted to hear. Either way it wasn't good and to my knowledge he was the only one to put any kind of timeline on it.

[GoColts8818]

Well this sucks.  I’ll take the wait and see approach with him.  If he plays he plays if he doesn’t he doesn’t.

[#12.]

One positive: it stops us from thinking about it the rest of the year.  We're gonna see what Brissett can do, I suppose.  

 

It's not good, though.  People are just assuming he can miss an entire year and come back at the same level.  Not so sure about that.

 

The other factor:  with Luck's health in question, this isn't a very desirable coaching job.  Like 6 years ago, your options will be limited.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Peyton Manning for team President!

Keep him on the sideline and tank the season. clean the house after this season. starting with chuck and chud...

[Luck is Good]

I don't know why this organization kept hyping him up to be back relatively soon. Why did they keep lying about it? Ridiculous

Great stuff! Who wins Clubber vs Drago

[ColtsBlitz]

He was sore from throwing footballs really hard and after not doing that for awhile. Not that surprising. This is just another good example of how Ballard will take care of injured players. Set a path for them to follow. Each and every player

 

He said he would make sure everyone has a plan that they could be successful with. I like a man of his word, which he has been so far.

Well that's not good.  I really hope this isn't a permanent injury, or something that will require more surgery.  I'm starting to feel like the injury was absolutely horrible OR the surgery was botched somehow. 

Guess we'll see

[csmopar]

Worst part: this probably saves chuck pagano and his staff their jobs

[RockThatBlue]

Is shoulder soreness really a surprise? He didn't throw a football for what, 7 months or so? And just recently began throwing more? I would think his shoulder being sore would be normal.

I think they're pretty set on bringing in a new coach after this season.  I'm not sure why Ballard wouldn't want to bring in his own staff.  We'll definitely find out at the end of this season though!

Stop it. I don't want that type of negativity in my life.

[strt182]

Lucks not going on IR simply because they wanna be able to do what they want with him and practices ect. Even with him on the practice field it makes this team better. 

 

I dont really get the hype on sending Brissett off we need a good back up and I think JB is just that could he be a starter some places probably but why not raise your own like BALLARD has spoken of. 

 

Maybe we gel and win some big games YES BIG MAYBE we will find out Sunday. Just think if we squeak into the playoffs and Luck is ready and back to himself? 

 

Theres lots of possibilities. If Luck plays he plays if not then he dont.

Im guessing not.  Only because if we are judging him on improved performance he has gone backwards if anything.... he has had enough time to prove his worth.  This regime needs to be recycled.

 

Fan opinion does matter in the long run and it has been a marathon

Good point, it just depends on if there is damage, ect.  Hopefully it is just soreness and precautionary.

I don't know Clubber was a bad dude. That would be a fun slugfest when those guys were in their primes.
