One source described Luck as "very close" to throwing, which is a huge milestone for the franchise QB. 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]

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.

Luck sounds pretty confident on his Twitter account..... Let's hope all goes well in the coming months

I think we're allowed to have our OTA's a little earlier since we'll have a new HC.  Probably the beginning of April. 

 

Hopefully he's throwing bombs by then!

Luck’s Twitter account? 

 

You’re a funny guy!

Was going to post this yesterday. All I can say right now is the guy is for sure painfree.

Nice to wake-up on my birthday and get good news for Luck.     I'll take that,  thank you very much!

 

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.

 

 

You're not the only one.  I'll believe it when I see it.  

[Nesjan3]

I will be happy when he runs out on the field week 1 and makes it through the whole game.

Its not good news.

 

He can be as close as he wants but we don't know if he can throw or not and we won't know if he needs a surgery until he throws.

Well, you are right....it can be bad news if he needs surgery again.

 

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.

I’m just going to stay cautiously...pessimistic. 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.

Thats not necessarily true at all. 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.

No way, man. I want Luck to succeed and win endless amounts of Superbowls with the Colts   I think he’s a beast. And that’s why I don’t want to get my hopes up about him being all good now.

 I DO believe he’ll be back this season, just think it’s too premature to say “no surgery.”

I wasn't really criticizing you on purpose CMO. 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.

Its better news than we have been getting on him. I think he is finally on the right track.

Luck is going to be fine.

He was healed before but there was still residual pain.

 

We won't know anything for sure until he throws.

If he progresses through the throwing program ok then I don't think there will be too much problems.  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.

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.

It’s still a scary situation. Like watching the Colts games, I’m always worried about a bad outcome.

 

Luck has a work ethic like no other, so essentially I agree with you.

I can relate, this word is used frequently up here, so therefore I also confirm. 

[Dingus McGirt]

I can't shake the images of "Drago" training for the fight against Rocky...

[gspdx]

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.

The update provided can only be seen as a positive, no matter all the negativity being posted. Of course the proof is in the pudding, but this was not a negative piece of news in any way. That said, our usual suspects are in full flow.

 

Comeback Player of the Year, 2018.

[aaron11]

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

thats a strange award

WD40 is also used for sore/stiff joints, not joking.

[Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers]

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.

Ya I know what you mean I have very light expecttions on him which is why I hope their plan is to keep Brissett just in case cause Brissett was good in McDaniels's offense.
