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.

get over yourself!

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

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.

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, a good health. Thanks, Andrew.

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

 

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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

    • I don't think that's the case.. when people here say Ballard is good at drafting especially, it doesn't mean he has no misses in his draft picks.    I was not trying to convince anyone about anything. My point was Roseman does have a knack of fixing his mistakes, like he missed on QB and WR, but did get top notch players at these positions very soon, while still keeping the rest of the roster a championship material, especially in the trenches.   Most of the GMs including Ballard struggle to fix some position groups while few others break down. I think that's where Roseman has differentiated himself from the rest of the crowd. He's got some far sighted vision and execution.    Anyway, I can't recall how we got here discussing this in Hopkins trade, probably from Vikings drafting Jefferson. I was not trying to get any point across to you, I just try to add points to the discussion and sometimes it would elicit response from the comment I choose to reply. 
    • I'm not a football historian.  But a big leap probably came in the 1950s when the forward pass was being emphasized and a whole new level of complexity in planning and execution was introduced.  Then another in the 1970's when QBs like Bobby Douglas finally were relegated to dinosaur status.  Then another leap in the 1980s and 1990s when Bill Walsh and his Tree emphasized even more complexity and nuance.  Its probably been more iteration of back and forth and situational strategy from that point on more than its been an evolution as an entire league.     Many things get too complex for their own good and the evolution curve runs out of steam.  The level gets too complex to be sustainable and sort of implodes.  Then "back to basics" rises from the ashes.   The NFL probably has run its course in getting more complex so QBs like AR are probably in the perfect spot to capitalize on the NFLs regression back to basics.
    • It's simple. Watch Philly last year and that's what we will be playing; the 6 back offence.
    • They would have to eat $24.8M in dead cap from his signing bonus to do it. But that money has to be accounted for anyways, whether it's all at once or over the next few years.   The trading team would be taking $25M gtd in base salary with them and the Colts would be done with the deal.   There's some value in that I guess...saving $25M. The problem is that Q is still a useful player, so even though they would save $25M, they would need to get back something decent in return.   But how often do vet Gs get traded?   The trading team would get Q for 2/$25M...and then have options for years 3 and 4. On the surface, that contract has value, but a team could have just signed Shaq Mason in FA at that AAV. Or paid less for a player like Seumolo. It's not tough to find good LGs in FA.    So it would have to come down to the name recognition. I think a R1 pick is out of the question, but perhaps a R2 pick if some team really believed his recent play (especially last season) was an outlier and the medicals checked out. Given I am more pessimistic about Q than others, I would probably take it.      
    • Yes they were a bad team. Coach McCay  was asked after a dismal loss what he thought of the teams execution and he replied "I am for it".
