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

[TDewar1987]

Why would Luck "announce" this in the middle of a game? I know he aint playing just sounds like something hed publicly announce first

I don't know how to process this.

 

I mean... wow. 

I don’t either.  It’s sad.  It’s just a game but still sad to see.  The Colts thought they were getting another Johnny U or Peyton Manning but Ryan Grigson’s incompetence turned him into another Burt Jones.

[SP_21]

I don’t know what to say. After all the love and support the fans have shown him he blindsides us!? Not only us but his teammates, the coaching staff, and the organization. Totally unprofessional and I hope his memory is completely removed from Indy. 

[HOF19]

Well (if true ) this will blow up the internet and twitter .

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

If he's mentally worn down just take a year off then come back. Very upset and disappointed 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Imagine how this effects the team mentally.

He didn’t ESPN broke it.  

[CanuckColt]

Yep.  A player can only take so many injuries...then it's not worth it.

Agreed!

Going to have to wait for him to be eligible for draft in 2021

Timing of this decision is not great.

 

actually, it is.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Just waiting to be pinched..

[Mr.Debonair]

Blame the organization for not protecting him earlier

True

[Creekside]

He wants to be able to walk when he is my age (61).

 

Nothing wrong with that.

[Btown_Colt]

Can’t be real, can it?

[PrincetonTiger]

The Colts will be fine

[IndySouthsider]

Bert Jones 2.0

[colts89]

This is unbelievable.

[jemack]

Manning/ Luck comparisons anyone....

Just like everyone, can’t believe it. We’re going to see how much better Reich is than Pagano as a coach, would be great to get a .500 record out of Brissett.

 

It is what it is!!!

[TheBlueAndWhite]

[IndySouthsider]

Salary Cap impact?

[ColtsBlitz]

I’m crying. My favorite player just retired from the NFL 10 years sooner than I expected him too. 

[Dingus McGirt]

Dirty pool.

[Stoney]

We got rid of Peyton for this lol moving on to Trevor Lawrence, 2 years away. Goodbye season.

[oldunclemark]

What is going on...?  Why?

What is happening?

After battling injury after injury, the word is that #Colts QB Andrew Luck was simply too worn down to continue. And so he abruptly retires at age 29. Jacoby Brissett is the new QB of the Colts.

EXACTLY!  I have had this same thought many times.

 

[John Waylon]

But there’s nothing to worry about, right?

[RollerColt]

I can’t really hold back the depression on this one. Another year absolutely wasted. What the hell do you tell your players in the locker room? 2-14 here we come!

[Rackeen305]

Who's looking correct now? Remember that Zeke thread where I said Would you ask for money from Luck comparatively when Zeke hasnt missed a game?

 

Alot of fans said They would Pay LUCK and not ZEKE. Well GO FIGURE! gn.

This closes indy’s Super bowl window for the next decade.

My thoughts exactly 

 

[Colts_Fan12]

umm what the hell just happened?!?!

[Nate!]

Colts future prospects nose diving.  Brissett is just middling at best.   Probably will finish .500 which puts them out of reach of any respectable QB which means more mediocrity.  Lucas Oil about to get empty.  

 

Also, could’ve drafted a QB in last year’s loaded class.  Darnold could be a Colt now.  Luck absolutely screwed the Colts retiring a year later

[Dingus McGirt]

Don't want to hear anything he has to say.  Rarely has a player has a more invested fan base.  Just GTHO.

[Turftoe]

Andrew Luck now officially a bust.  Trev Alberts part II...
