Breaking News: Jack Mewhort set to Retire

lol

[chrisfarley]

Please , NO!

[The Fish]

This was something that was a known possibility, to a lesser degree. Too bad he didn't get back all the way.

[RockThatBlue]

Did not see that coming.

Wow didn't see that coming, not yet anyway. Thought he would see how he did this season and then make that decision. Best of luck to Jack in his future endeavors !!!

Had to do with re aggrevating his knees. Sucks but I think Ballard hedged this with Nelson and Smith. We'll be fine

Seriously... he gave the Colts everything he had, not sure why him retiring would be something to laugh at.

[jskinnz]

I think he was up against some long odds to make the team.  Clearly his body (knee) could no longer hold up.

[NorthernBlue]

Dang it. Good player who was cut down from injuries.

 

Wish Mewhort all the best.

[Colt Overseas]

Devasted for the guy. Was a top pro and would have made an excellent guard for us if it were not for his injuries. Life is so cruel. Hopefully Braden Smith develops into a good guard long term for us.

though i don’t answer to you but i’ll go ahead and scratch your itch...  millennials use “lol” for more than its literal meaning in this case it was more of a “of course” or a salty feeling

[IndyD4U]

Dammit Jack. 

 

Sucks he couldn't get healthy. 

 

Hopefully he's saved and invested the majority of the 3.5 MIL he's earned.

 

He has a long life ahead of him

[Superman]

It seemed like he might walk after last season. It's too bad his career got cut short.

Injuries caught up to him

Thanks man I sometimes forget this forum is more of the ages 40-60 

[DaveA1102]

At least he goes out on his own terms. 

 

All the best Jack.

Sometimes people look for the worst in words ... no emotion in typed words except what is projected.  I took it as shake my head or of course... just our luck sort of thing

[Boiler_Colt]

Stinks for Jack. And the 2014 class joins 2013 as being all gone.

Dito. Exactly how I took it too. A blank "lol" isn't really laughing out loud

Best of luck good sir! Enjoy your life

[throwing BBZ]

            Jack Mewhort gave it his all on game day. Best wishes.
  But i look forward to having guards that can contribute beyond his range and skill set.
 That would be a Big help to running a diverse Offense.

Thank you sir you do the same!

[CanuckColtsFan]

The guy was a pro. Excellent at what he did. Some bad Luck for him and the Colts. In his prime a line of Castonzo, Mewhort, Kelly, and Nelson is really impressive.

That is you not others

 

   Their are certain times and places where it is good to be specific and/or explain

Really?

 

I think this forum is mostly 20-35.

 

I think us 40-60 year olds are more the exception to the rule.

 

I guess it depends on your perspective, which camp you belong to....

The Nelson and Smith pick becomes that much more important. To be honest, I dont believe that he has knee issues. I personally think he's soft tbh.

Good post.   And this is in part why Ryan Grigson is no longer our GM.

 

And now we watch as the 2015 and 16 classes sinks or swims....

 

[Yoshinator]

Figured this would happen. Wasn't really sure Jack would get much playing time anyway though, so not a huge loss. Maybe at RT.

One more reason not to like millennials.

No you are right PT, we are NOT all the same.  Clearly, many people need things explained in great detail.  I will leave it there.
