That also means Luck does not need another surgery, which is good news. That's by far the best news I have heared on luck in the last 4 months.

waka waka Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 seems like this is more of a holistic approach while throwing the football is a huge milestone i though how his body looked in the presser and how he answered questions looks like the old Luck was back. Not worried here but i'm excited as any fan should be to see him back on the field soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the beginning of April. Hopefully he's throwing bombs by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet..... Oddly enough, I'm just not convinced, and won't be until Luck actually starts throwing. I'm just funny that way. And while Luck may talk again around the time that McDaniels is introduced next week, I'm not expecting him to be able to say much if he hasn't started throwing yet. So, it might not be until early March -- right after the combine -- until we have a better understanding of where Luck is. So..... I wouldn't be jumping to any conclusions just yet..... this is modestly enouraging, but only to a point. We're just going to have to do what Luck and Ballard have been saying.... Trust the Process.

He originally had his surgery last January and then missed the 2017 season. If he needs surgery again, we may not find out until mid-late February and he will have surgery after that. His 2018 season would be in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised lol I keep reading that last sentence over & over again particularly the 2 words I highlighted in red. So, you want Luck to fail or suffer a setback then? Look, I get your sense of trepidation about Luck's recovery timetable. I won't tell you what to think CMO, but from my perspective, Andrew probably just wants to get reps in private so that by the time Colts fans see him sling the ball INDY fans will go, "Yep, Chewbacca is back & the Blue Horseshoe can start winning division titles again." That's how I look at it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may determine how slow they need to take the process or how to progress him, but there’s plenty of tests/measures/imaging to be done to see if the tissue is properly healed. If the bicep tendon wasn’t healing by now he would’ve had another surgery. Im not exactly taking this as good news until he’s practicing again, but it’s not bad news.

I just found your word choice [cautiously optimistic]...Unsettling. Yeah, I know hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I get it. Given how long it took for Pagano to admit that Luck was done & wouldn't be starting for us this past season; You don't wanna feel like you're being lied to anymore about Luck's status. I know you're a huge Luck fan & his health is tied to the team's success. I know that. I want Lombardys too Bad. I read ya. We're cool CMO.

Just got to know he can throw the football without more shoulder problems flaring up. After that he's got 6 full months before Training Camp even starts. And given that OTA's are done without pads, there is a good chance he could be ready for OTA's. Maybe it's a little foolish but I'm feeling pretty optimistic about Luck. I can't believe McDaniels would choose the Colts without some confidence that Luck could play. Guy isn't some bottom of the barrel coaching hire, he had options.

ColtsBlitz Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 21 hours ago, CamMo said: Of course it’s not the ONLY way of knowing, but how is the actual act of throwing a football not a test at all? The article says he’s close to throwing and will not need more surgery. Sooo what happens when he starts chucking footballs and the same thing happens as last time? The time that has elapsed since then and the muscle he has gained and balanced should coordinate nicely with a positive outcome. Basically the pain shouldn’t happen, or is much less likely to.

gspdx Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Too many assumptions being thrown around here: Luck might be ready to start throwing, but if he isn't throwing we don't know anything yet. Luck said there are other ways to know - but the reality is until he is throwing at full velocity none of us know how his shoulder will respond. Will he have the velocity, touch, and accuracy? McDaniels wouldn't come here if Luck wasn't healthy - We just don't know that. Complete assumption. It sounds like good news at this point, but let's just relax and give this time.

aaron11 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 throwing is an important milestone, but im more worried about him being able to take hits we wont see that until he plays a real game. if he plays in pre season, for the love of god dont let him make any tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I am choosing be optimistic about this report and Luck’s recovery, rather than making myself miserable by trying to dissect everything that comes via West 56th. I believe Luck is making progress, albeit not in the timeline I would prefer, but nonetheless it is progress. Can’t wait to see him out there next season.
