It is a setback and he is probably feeling really bad. He is very careful in picking his words and being a Stanford grad, he will not approach the microphone until he has all the data about his shoulder's progress to confidently project his future. There is no doubt in my mind that if he is not happy with the surgery he will have it again. Right now, he needs rest (conjecture on my part:because inflammation may have generated soreness and pain) before new assessments can be made. I really feel for this young man. 

 

When Peyton came on board, they made sure he had a solid OL. They had an OC and OL coach like Moore and Mudd, and Arians for a QB coach. None of that was made available for Luck. I think the Manning family made sure that Peyton was being solidly protected. Going forward, I think Luck will demand the same.

Just to be clear Andrew Luck had Bruce Arians (ARI HC now) on the staff in 2012, Clyde Christianson (Mia OC now), Harold Goodwin (ARI OC now) so lets not act like that 2012 staff wasn't a quality staff. Luck has just as much to do with where he is as anyone with the style he chooses to play. Everyone wants to protect him but he has had good coaching and some that Arians and Christianson that worked with Peyton...so let's not act like he hasn't had proper support from the coaching staff. The OL has not been great...but Luck is not without his own faults...and all he should demand is a chance to earn his contract.

How do you know he's not ready to talk?

 

And how do you know he will?

 

What are the winning lottery ticket #'s?

Ballard said that A: Luck is not ready to speak just yet. And B: that he will speak when he's ready. And C: that it will for sure happen at the end of the season(pretty sure there's a media clause in the contract)

      Steelers Colts Predictions

      Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.

      Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      QB is hard.  It's easy to sit back and expect guys to look like Marino but every QB has a different ceiling and a different path to that ceiling.  And again getting there is a long and tough road and the toughness in that road includes everything from injuries to quality of the team around them.   Richardson still looks like the guy we saw on tape in college.  He is an elite run threat who can put the ball anywhere on the field, but his consistency in ball placement is not good.  I used to believe that can't be fixed.  Until Josh Allen.  Now these types of QBs are guys teams will take a flyer on, because of supply and demand, and the immense impact if you can hit on one of them.  But here we are and he's still the same QB, which is a bit of a concern to me at this point.   It's not like he doesn't still have time to get his game in order.  He does.  And even if he fails in Indy he'll have another chance with another team due to his talent level.  So it's still too early to get all crazy about where he's at.   For myself I'll say what I keep saying about him: he needs to learn to move the offense from the protection of the pocket.  That is how you have a long career and end up in the Hall with a million passing yards.  If he does not develop that part of his game the end result will be his teams will use his legs to move the offense and he'll get hurt and miss time and demonstrate why RBs have such a short shelf life.  So his career is in his hands.  He has to learn and do it or he'll suffer the results.
