Irsay’s comments on Luck


Recommended Posts

I am kind of over the entire thing.  Really sick and tired of reading and hearing about it.

 

Reminds me of 2017 and we all know how that ended.

 

IMO if it this bone issue brought on by a previous injury (snowboarding?), and they have known about it since the spring?  IMO they really really screwed up by not just having surgery and getting it taken care of.  I wrote about this the other day.  9 times out of 10, when an athlete is considering surgery or rest, it is always better to just get the surgery done right away and get it fixed.

 

Otherwise we go through what we are going through now. Rest.  Come back.  Irritated.  More rest.  Blah blah blah.

 

I also think that Luck, for whatever reason, must have a very low pain threshold.  He doesn't seem to be able to tolerate pain that well ever since his shoulder.  Seems as if he is very paranoid about any pain after that entire fiasco.  So that makes it more in his head than his leg.

 

If this is what they say it is, it can't be made any worse by playing on it.  It is a spur and it will always hurt until it is removed.  But it can't really get worse....So unless he was hurting some other part of the leg by walking on it, he should be out there in some capacity imo.

 

Friday warming while bowling up I blew out my lower back.  Couldn't even bend over to pick the ball up off the of the ball return.  Still bowled a 269 last game with a 230 average for 3.

 

You just grin and bear it. Luck gets paid $25 M to play.  Suck it up buttercup.

 

I think we really need to come to the realization that Luck is an injury prone QB who may not be around much longer as an NFL player.

If he plays the 3rd preseason game it’s nothing to worry about. If he plays week 1 it’s nothing to worry about.

If he doesn't play until the first game, and I think that is VERY IFFY, there is a lot to worry about imo.

 

He won't have the timing down with his wr's, his line, the rbs's.  He will be rusty.

 

Actually kind of hope he does play the first game so the betting line stays low.  Because if he does play?  I think they get absolutely blown out.  They get blown out with Jacoby playing as well, but the betting line will be a lot bigger then.

What? He played a entire season with a torn labrum and played with a lacerated kidney. Pain is not a issue with Luck. 

The calf could of got strained in a workout like they said and he has one of these two issues. It’s also possible he practiced that third day and actually broke that bone off in the back of the ankle during camp. Which would be the setback.

 

The biggest issue is we know nothing and until we do everything will just be speculative.

Right but I am talking post shoulder surgery and the healing process after.

 

He seems a lot more cautious ever since.

Ballard is making it worse.

 

 

Honestly if I was a betting man, and I am, I don't think there is much chance of Luck playing game 1 and for who knows how long after.

 

All of the wording we are now hearing out of Colts Camp is exactly like 2017.

 

Get ready for Jacoby!

So this has been going on since March.  March!!!

 

For a calf.

 

I just healed a partially torn rotator cuff in 2 months.  He has had 6 for a calf strain.

 

If we are now in August, 6 months later, and he is still experiencing pain?  How is it going to get better in 3 weeks while trying to practice and play games? 

 

It isn't. 


Have surgery now.  Come back by mid to late Sept.

This is too funny,

 

They literally have no idea what the hell is going on.

 

And notice that they are staring to hedge their bets and give little hints about Luck not being ready for Game 1.

 

Bye bye season.  IMO time to look for a new QB in the draft.  You simply cannot be going through this every year.  He is the most injury prone QB I know of outside of RGIII.

    • Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.
    • I personally wouldn’t touch Williams with a 10 foot pole. He seems like a distraction and cancerous. He may be Uber talented but I don’t feel like he is a winner, and don’t feel like his heart is in it. I think he gets the bag and just sets it on cruise control. There is absolutely nothing to base this off of aside from my gut feeling.  Maye Daniels  Penix Nix McCarthy   Maye is your prototype passer and I think his deficiencies are easily fixed with good coaching.   Daniels seems the most limited to me, proficient and will be very dependent on where he goes.    Will always have a soft spot for Penix, he throws such a pretty deep ball. His 40 time should have opened some eyes.   Nix is probably the safest pick IMO. I think he’s got the tools to fit nearly any offense. Has the athleticism, arm talent and I think he’s got the between the ears to excel in most offenses.   I see the appeal with McCarthy, he was as unselfish as they come allowing the run game to shine instead of checking to pass plays. I think his ceiling is a solid game manager.  
    • I'd imagine he's going bald. Most men his age usually are when they start sporting the caps 24/7.
    • Did I say something dumb? Maybe give reasons why one should trust and agree with Ballard's team building philosophy going into his 8th season. He's been pretty average to, dare I say it, below average so far into his tenure.
