Luck Retires/ The timing of it all... (merge)

[PrincetonTiger]

At least Andrew got to choose when to leave because for a lot of people they don’t get a choice

    I still remember that talk from my Varsity position coach

Wow I'm just absolutely stunned   I'm at a loss for words.

I know Andrew gave his best for our team, even through all the injuries and everything he had to endure. Can we blame grigson for this somehow?  LOL

 

Where do we go from here? I know Jacoby is our starting QB now, but is he really able to take the team where we want to go?  I just don't know

We will have to see how JB handles this. We have the draft capital to move up to get a QB. We don’t have to tank the season.

Oh well, who wants some worthless season tickets?  I guess I'll be donating them to the United Way.  

You can donate them to me.

Good, because I think he's better than Jacoby Brissett

I tend to agree but we’ve not really seen what Jacoby can do with a good staff and team around him either

You can get over yourself.

 

He put his body on the line on numerous occasions for some really bad football team. Don't blame him for a second and no one comes in here defending players when organizations cut them abruptly. Your take is 100% selfish as is any other similar stances.

You must be one of mr. Luck's P.R. folks.  This is absolutely indefensible.  Little Andy will regret this.  Probably have all the mirrors covered.

Irsay was * so he leaked it.  LOL!

[BobbyMorris94]

He really screwed us with this. We could have signed Foles, a dude that's actually won a Super Bowl under our coach. Instead we have nothing, and our division rival has him. I'm just devastated as a fan.

Are you aware of what you post?

 

You called Andrew Luck a quitter lol

 

Easy to say that when you dont have to do what another man has to do.

 

Go get you a juice box, turn on your favorite cartoon and escape to your happy place.

 

 

 

Oh lmao. So a man who quits isn't a quitter? Interesting. Good to know I guess?  I stand corrected you are right I called him a name in which he fully qualified for. 

 

I have my own life with my own responsibilities and trials.  And I haven't quit.  I'd like to put good money that I've endured a much tougher life than a Stanford grad who got fat contracts to play a game.  

 

I do love my juice boxes though thanks! 

[Blueblood23]

This may be a defining moment in Indy. Colts fans will not be filling up the stadium next year. This is devastating for the Colts.

[Fisticuffs111]

It sounds like he knew he would have at the very least retired at the end of this season anyways. He said he had a feeling this would've been his last season throwing at Lucas Oil.

Honestly, this makes me feel so much less paranoid for thinking he'd potentially retire early. People were blasting that idea but anytime he's talked or given interviews it just seemed like he could call it quits at any moment.

Did I hear Luck right that he didn't even tell his teammates before this game.

 

I believe he said that he was planning to tell his teammates after this game and have the press conference tomorrow at 3, but the news leaked early.

I thought the stunned look in their faces said it all

That is really crappy.  The character Ballard talks about is going to be tested.

[Patrick Miller]

Any good QBs coming out of the draft next year. Ugh a whole season of Brissett as our starter. We are #ed.

[oldunclemark]

 He doesn't sound like a guy who does not want to play anymore..

He just sounds tired

[Smoke317]

He just said he heard the boos & they hurt.

More respect for him going out the window, is it possible to have negative respect for someone?

So hes not entitled to change his profession? If I quit my job at the coal mine because I'm developing black lung, that doesnt make me a quitter.

 

Yeah I bet you've really suffered, probably due to your own stupidity, but that doesnt count.

 

You're just a complete *.

I think that is unfair. We need to give him a chance to see what he can do when he has the entire starters around him.

Burning my luck jersey tonight. What a quitter.

Good thing Ballard is building a team.

We shall see.  This will now show us how much good talent Ballard has drafted with the absence of  a top 5 qb.  Pressure back on Ballard and Reich.

Meh, he doesn’t suck. He’s a solid tier 2 QB and no where near a top flight QB, but he’s serviceable

He can definitely change his profession. Just like you and I can the proper way. By putting our 2 weeks in or in my case giving enough notice to finish big projects. 

 

If you walk out of a job with no notice you are a quitter.

 

If you quit the job properly because there is a risk to your health then you are a smart individual.  This is t rocket science lol.

Well we all knew this was going to be an important year for Jacoby to prove he could be a NFL starter.  We just didn’t think it would be for the Colts.  IMO while not a franchise QB you can win with Brissett and swapping Dorset for Brissett might turn out to be the biggest move Ballard ever made.

Sorry just had to add. I find it hilarious as you berate me for "calling luck a name" while you assume my "stupidity" and name calling. 

 

Lol funny stuff.
