King Colt Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not sure which broadcast this came out of it may have been the Colt game but a broadcaster made a point of why no one is saying exactly where Luck is. What is being done to him. What is his status is and so on. To my knowledge there has never been such a deliberate silence/cover up over a player's health. What reason could the Colts have to deliberately be mum on everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Who doesn't love a conspiracy? Short term memory loss melts steel.. He's not throwing. He's re-habing and they're waiting to see how this treatment takes over the course of the next month. They said he'd talk at the end of the season. He's either going to need more surgery or not.. (and if the Colts would have scored more points than the Jags today, they would have won). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Colt Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 So far no answers as to why the hush-hush that can be verified. Guesswork not allowed here. What advantage is there is in this secret mystery??? Was he kidnapped and held hostage by Isis? Did his ship sink? Was he stolen away from his hospital room? Did he die by drinking warm British beer? Did he get lost in the British fog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernBlue Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We all know how secretive the Colts were being from the start. So why would we expect they/Luck would let on what's going on in Europe right now? Especially since the fact that he even is over there got out in the first place.

Sometimes its it's just easier to say nothing. When the time is right -- likely sometime in January -- either Luck will make an announcement or the Colts will with Andrew's approval. And THEN we will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we'll hear from Andrew in Jan. If they're trying to keep distractions at a minimum, they have failed on an unprecedented level. Some say Luck doesn't want to take the spotlight off of his team while hurt. Well, this game of "feed the fans [insert your favorite word here] and keep them in the dark" has had the opposite effect. Half of the threads on here (at least), and half of the local media coverage are all intensely focused on what in the world is going on with Luck. A simple update from Luck himself could quash all of this wild and rampant speculation. But, what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't tivo it, but as I recall it, they said after sitting down with Chuck, they were surprised to hear that Chuck and the Colts don't know what is going on with Luck. That would imply they haven't been in contact with Luck. They added, Luck hasn't been at the facility. If he's been in Europe seeking treatment on his own, as reported, that would all make sense.

Corndog Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The one thing I am not looking forward to in this offseason is all of the ridiculous Andrew Luck speculation we are going to hear. One of the most absurd rumors I have heard is Luck is psychologically damaged because of getting hit so much that he is scared to play. I can see where it came from with this offense line, but really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since whatever treatment he's receiving is ongoing, even Andrew may not know anything yet. Only time will tell. I'm pretty certain that not a single one of us posting on this board is in a position to do anything about it if it isn't working, so maybe we should all just chill a bit and wait to see how this turns out.

Unless the news is so terrible that it threatens his career. I don't see how you "can't wrap your head around that." Andrew Luck makes a large amount of money. And this is supposed to equate to him having less rights to privacy as a human being? I may agree that Colts have mishandled at times how they went about this whole saga and delivered information, i.e. Irsay stating he would be back at the start of the season. What they could have said is, "we don't know." In hind sight, that is what we are looking at. The Colts don't know. Maybe even Andrew doesn't know. But he has a constitutional right to privacy. He's not an elected official. He works for an entertainment corporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the news is so terrible that it threatens his career. I don't see how you "can't wrap your head around that." 16.2 million people watched the last Sunday Night Football broadcast, and the NFL still kills everything else on TV. "Popularity crash" is therefore a relative thing... as compared to what it used to be? Maybe. But in relation to everything else people are watching, and supporting, nah, it's still king. What Andrew Luck earns has zero to do with this. There is no scale which mandates less privacy the more one makes. The simplest explanation is almost always the right one, and in this instance that means he's working on pain solutions, rehabbing, and on IR so not remotely relevant today to the Colts. That changes drastically when the new NFL year starts, as the Colts will need to know who their starting QB is sooner rather than later. If there is nothing new to say, there is no need to have a weekly presser to tell us all nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
