Granted, I think that Luck just unseated Paul George as the most unpopular guy in Indy. I'm pretty upset at how he handled this. I'm irritated at the situation too. Had I been in LOS tonight, I would've booed too. The timing is awful, especially now the season is pretty much over for the Colts 2 weeks before it begins. Over how? There are 52 other guys who would completely disagree... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsman1788 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If Luck's heart was no longer in it then the Colts franchise is better off without him. As disappointing as tonight was...this too will pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two_pound Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I for one, doesn't care what any media jack does. I learned as a high school kid back in the 70's they talk up a small select handful of teams and ridicule and berate the rest, it's what they get paid to do. Andrew Luck did not want to play anymore, I think that's obvious. How does a mild calf strain linger for 8 months, then the story starts changing. Oh well, I want to thank Luck for some great Colt moments, especially that playoff come back against the Chiefs that is timeless. That fumble he picked up and dove into the endzone. I don't know who the next Colt qb will be, I'm not sold on Brissett. But, maybe this is why Reich said he wanted to be a top 5 rushing team this year. This defense can be top 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a fax or a call stating Hey Andrew Luck is retiring as of right now. We will have press conference tomorrow. That then goes out to the media. Schefter tweets said info out. This is the bad side of the social media world we live in today. Its only going get worse I am afraid. I wonder how fast that story travelled around the stands as the game was going on ?

Trust me I'm far from mad... I'm good with moving on and letting these guys go to work with Brissett. This has nothing to do with integrity. He is paid to break news when he hears not when it’s convent for the Colts or Andrew Luck. ESPN pays him what they do because they value having this kind of news first.

I did it because I love to compete. Luck does not. Period. His heart has not been in it since 2 years ago. To quit on your team....2 weeks before the season? Over an injury that no one can even tell he is hurt from? Extremely disappointing. And just goes to show that all his talk about the team? Total nonsense. If he cared about the team he would play out the year and then retire. To do this now? Boo the heck out of him. He showed his true colors.

csmopar Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Ok, gonna put on the conspiracy theory hat for a moment solely for thinking out loud. i just watch the Q and A and Luck said that he had been thinking about it a long time. What if he’d confided in Ballard and they had talked early this spring about such a thing and that could be a factor as to why Ballard didn’t go fully in and blow thru all that cap money in FA? doubtful but something to ponder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballard called it out, Leonard called it out, Luck admitted it made him sad. Be angry all you want...but that's not going to be a good look going forward. Tonight's fan reaction was an embaressment for the entire Colt's organization. I see Jim moving HIS team in the not to distant future, can't blame him, the blame falls on this selfish fan base.

People will probably look back at some of their posts and wish they could take back those words. Hopefully everyone will have a softer thought process in a few days. Folks have already given up on the season though we still have a very young and capable team. If Reich plays his cards right he could rally his troops around this adversity and use it as motivation to show the league how this team is better than one person - CB's mantra since taking over.

I don’t see it as them booing cause he was retiring. as I see it, they were booing and rightfully so after being led along a bridge made of full on lies for the past month and then some. Andrew himself said early last week that he was excited and was expecting to play in week 1. He even said that his love of the game was back.... the ironic thing about all this is that Luck got hurt snowboarding. Which if I’m not mistaken is also what happened when the shoulder injury occurred right? If so, it’s big injuries were self inflicted, away from football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
