ColtsSouljah Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I imagine this has probably been discussed, but I haven't seen it in all the pages I've read. Irsay seems to have left the door open for Luck to come back in two ways: 1. He didn't make Luck give the singing bonus money back. 2. He basically SAID that Luck could come back. I sure didn't realize the implication of 1. at the time and I didn't hear 2. from the press conference. Here's a a couple of articles about this:https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2019/08/25/colts-owner-jim-irsay-keeps-door-cracked-andrew-luck-comeback/2114322001/https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/colts-leave-door-open-to-lucks-return-with-stunning-parting-gift-of-dollar248m/ar-AAGjiK1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 If he ever would come back, I would hope the deal offered by Irsay would be 365 one day contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckColt Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It seems like Luck is suffering from depression/burnout. Who knows if he will want to play again after he heals up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B~Town Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Was it just me or did Chris Ballard look especially annoyed when Irsay was talking about a possible Luck return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I doubt he will play for the colts again. He will be traded if he wants to come back. The team is not going to sit back and not get the right QB hoping he will come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Miller Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Who's to say we don't already have another franchise qb by the time Luck decided to come back? IF.... He decides to come back. We are moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#12. Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Who knows what will happen, but this isn't the end of the story, not by a long shot. It's going to be a rumor a week - Luck's returning in October... in November. Jerry Jones is sending three #1s for Luck. Wait until the first QB on a contending team goes down.

2006Coltsbestever Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Actually Luck could come back the way Irsay left things open , It sounds funny but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that very same thing and mentioned it to my friend today. Ballard's reaction was priceless. He raised his eyebrows in disbelief. A much-needed laugh on a very emotional evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking about that today with a buddy lol. Nothing would shock me at all after yesterday...... I wouldn’t be shocked if he came back but if he did it would probably be next year and I’m sure Luck would notify Irsay and Ballard as soon as it popped back in his mind if it did. I don’t see the Colts waiting around though, if JB doesn’t tear it up then they need to find a top young prospect ASAP. Fortunately we know Ballard is a heck of a talent evaluator. Now I just don’t know how the heck the Colts are going to do, the season just needs to start already. My expectations lowered drastically though as to not seriously be disappointed BUT on the flip side I’ll be ecstatic if they do well and JB looks like a top 12-15 QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsSouljah Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 I agree with those of you who have said nothing would surprise us in this situation. I'm also wondering how much Irsay's comments may cause issues with us moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Colt Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 What if the Colts make it to the playoffs or better in the next couple years? Some folks should acknowledge Brissett is no slouch. 6'4" 230 lbs. with speed and very strong arm. Give him the chance with a good team and we just might see what we hope to see.

throwing BBZ Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Gee, it's is football, there is pain for everyone, most all season long. The guy QUIT the game because of Pain. Therefore, this RICH because of FB P___Y, ain't coming back for anything less than the $$$$. We will be fine. TEAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo2004 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I would love for him to return but I think he's done. His reasons are very good and permanent and he's doing it at a time in his life when people start thinking more about the future. (Around the birth of your first child.) He's got a bunch of other stuff that keeps him busy too. A lot of players just have football. Luck has more than that. I mean when someone retires at this age in their prime people are always going to leave the door open for a comeback. But I think when you listen to the reason's Luck gave you realize that those things are just not going to go away. Football is still football and you are still likely to get hurt a lot doing it.

ColtJax Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I hope JB tears it up, if not we'll have 3 straight times we lost a "once in a decade QB" only to get a top pick and get another. There's a few big time QB's in the draft with not many teams needing one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
