Agreed. Tons of respect lost for Andrew Luck. If you’re mulling retirement, get the F out before Camp. And don’t be sitting there telling fans via media interviews that you expect to play week 1. This isn’t on the Colts, this is in Luck. Zero respect right now, none

I just lost a ton of respect for that dude if you don't want to play anymore retire in the offseason early that way the colts have options what a jerk.

No. He is a quitter.    If he didn't want to play,   he could have let the team know months ago.

I hope everyone burns his jersey as he leaves town. Lost all respect for him.

I have home and away, plus mini signed helmet and white signed football.

A lot is going to depend on if there is announcement of a serious injury or not. I'm half-expecting (or maybe just hoping for) news that he would have been out for the year.

Really hope he enjoys "travelling the world" with his trophy wife.  He should be shunned, and his name removed from all Colts archives.  To check with him and his advisor (dad).

Agreed.

I still love him! The guy has been beat to death his whole career he gave 7 good years and I will always be a big fan of his! The timing sucks but there must be more wrong with his ankle than we thought

So who is qb  after Jacoby? Someone from the streets?

Kelly once his suspension is over.  Not sure what they do for the first two weeks because I don’t think Walker can play in the NFL.

Unfortunately, it's usually for all the wrong reasons. 

[NewEra]

What the actual hell?!?

[oldunclemark]

Why NOW?

 

What happened in the last week or 10 days ....?

[icf]

Total d-move to do this to the team and fans 2 weeks before opening day.

 

[ThatOneColtFan]

Some of you should be embarrassed by your responses.

 

There is more to life than Football and Luck owes you nothing.

 

He gave this franchise his best every chance he could and put this organization in positions it had no right to be in. I wish him the best, a happy life, and good health.

 

Thanks, Andrew.

[John Hammonds]

ESPN is down.  Luck broke ESPN.

Why should he? Luck has played the fans and this team for fools for a month. Take your high horse elsewhere. What Luck just did to this team, regardless of reason, is the lowest of the low. I put this on the same level of the Josh McDaniels bull crap

I agree....If this is real..Jacoby is the man

[Fisticuffs111]

 

I bet it's chaos there right now.

Kind of harsh. Doesn’t want to fight to heal every offseason. It’s a shame but come on he’s not a quitter 

 

Lol kinda harsh?  Reality really stings I guess.

 

Someone who goes half way into the prep for the season and says na I'm good, I'd say is a quitter lol.  Literally the definition is someone who quits. 

 

But hey it's whatever I guess you can spin it however you'd like.

If he physically can't play then that's one thing.  If he physically can play then he at least owed the fans this season. 

 

Luck doesn't owe the fans anything. No athlete does.

 

He should do what's best for him and his family and live the life he wants. 

 

And if he isn't all in on football I would rather get this over with and move on as a Colts fan.

Agreed.  It’s not Luck’s fault he got hurt.  

 

I hate that Andrew Luck is retiring but this is still a game.  

[Smoke317]

Luck has been radio silent for a couple weeks.  It’s starting to seem like he told Irsay, CB, & Reich he was thinking about it.   Reich probably said we need an answer by the end of the 3rd preseason game.  Luck chose to quit.  Mind blowing. 

[BlueCollarColts]

Don’t know if this has been said, but Luck was boo’d as he walked off the field, and if what it being reported is accurate, then rightfully so.

I think Jacoby will be fine. I also think this is why you saw us not trade Jacoby. Irsay was right the other year, Luck’s issues were between his ears all along 

[oldunclemark]

  There is something else here.......folks

[poaponies]

I’m lossed for words. If he was thinking about retired then he should have said something. I feel that it wrong for him to leave the team with only  a few days before the season starts..

I think you’re right. And looking at it myself, I’ve spent way too much time and even money thinking and worrying about this team and football in general. I guess it’s not really that important in the grand scheme of things...

[colts89]

I still cant wrap my mind around this. We need to hear from the man himself asap

Watch Luck come back and play for the Chargers next season!

Again, he CANNOT unretire and simply play for another team. Not unless the Colts release him and they wouldn’t because of the cap hit

That Manning kid did ok...

Johnny Unitas led the Colts to three NFL championships (1958, 1959, 1968) and one Super Bowl victory...…..That's 4 RINGS !!!!!!!!!

[IndyD4U]

I'm seriously questioning my fanship right now. I know it's emotions but wow.

Unless it is terminal, I won’t forgive what just happened

[18to87]

As a former player, I kind of understand. The timing is just horrible though.

Right I don’t question that Jacoby is the starter I was responding to who is the backup going forward.

Sounds real...Smoke

Coach Frank did say they'd need an answer on Andrew's availability by the end of the 3rd pre-season week and that obviously is tonight

Life happens

 

    My dad had to give up the game he had played and coached for nearly 20 years to help with my therapy

 

      I could never play up to the level I dreamed of and often thought of quitting 

[John Waylon]

Stop the world and let me off. This one hurts. 

[Fisticuffs111]

Just tbf I didn't hear much booing in the video. More like sounds of shock.
