I had a bad feeling when I 1st heard about the calf injury and nothing I heard since that time made me feel hopeful for the season. I thought it would be another "down year" and that I'll just plug along and hope for the future. Just going to plug along and hope Reich can work his magic with Jacoby (or Kelly). What else can we do? As a fan I'm not going anywhere. Any anger I feel is directed to those formerly in the organization whose nonsense decisions cut short a promising career. I've been a Colts fan since the 70s and seen some of the worst football imagineable. I dont think this is the same thing. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
krunk 4,280 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The selfish part of me keeps asking why he couldn't have just retired at the end of the season? But obviously he felt like he'd stay in that whole getting drugged up, coming back from the injury, reinjuring same injury cycle the entire season. Didnt want to do it anymore.

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. I totally agree with this. Jacoby is good enough to be a system QB who, surrounded by enough talent, can win a lot of games. This is a tough tough day for Colts fans. I can empathize with everyone on this. But, the best part of being a fan is when you get a total surprise. My greatest memory as a Colts fan came during the AFC Championship against the Pats. I was at a viewing party that night and about half the people left at halftime, saying "here we go again"..........but they were back and fully engaged by the start of the 4th quarter and to this day I dont think I had that much fun at a party. Not a single person expected to see what we saw that night and everyone was on cloud 9. I hope the fans dont give up on the team. We have the right man steering the ship and hes done an amazing job. I was watching the rookies on defense very closely tonight and this guy can simply draft his butt off. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
life long 215 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Zero respect for the man now. I thought he was a leader but turns out when things get tough he quits.... real leaders with high character face adversity head on. He was a professional athlete who claimed to love the game but sounds like he was about the money. Peyton truly loved the game. Obviously Luck did not... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What's curious is that a lot of people said he looked pretty lively in recent drills at training camp. I'm not sure how one pulls that off with a significant ankle injury. But given that the pain was real, why not just go on IR? If the ankle isn't better by the end of the season, then that's the time to retire. Good thought, but thinking further...what would be different for the Colts? Andrew would still not be playing this year. Since he retires now we have a full season to look at JB/CK and move forward without having to think that Luck will be back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And that he's close to JB and is giving him his moment. I believe Luck when he says going on would have been detrimental to the team. Not giving JB a fair chance and watching him leave while we suffer over the next decade could have proven to be very painful. I won't get my hopes up, but I take comfort in knowing this happening now versus limping through the season, and doing this next year right before the season would have been an absolute disaster. JB deserves what he is being given. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

horseshoecrabs 608 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Let's face it, it was more than a calf injury, It involved the bone , and extensive rehab injury, that Luck did not want to take off another season to rehab, an maybe even surgery.
