I find it kind of funny how so many fans are criticizing his decision. They just need to be honest. They’re only mad at him, because it significantly hurts the team he plays for. I don’t fault them for that, but at least own it.
Fact is, injuries ****ing suck. I broke my jaw playing baseball, broke my ankle playing football, and a knee sprain ruined my 1 year of college football. What a lot of fans don’t get is that the injuries affect everything you do. Injuries only affect fans on Sunday, but Andrew Luck has to go home and live with this crap. He’s probably sore every morning, he feels it doing the most mundane tasks, he can’t enjoy his time with his wife, and he probably can’t even sleep through the night. If he feels like this at 30, what’s it going to be like at 40, 50, 60.... I don’t blame the fans for being mad, but at least just be honest about what you’re mad. It’s only because your team got significantly worse.

He was basically saying “welp, that’s the price you pay for the privilege of playing in the NFL” I think Lucks life priorities changed over the past few years and he decided it was time to move on. What amazes me is a guy like Tom Brady. Why does he still need to play? Nothing left to prove. Why does he continue to risk harm to his body?

^ Because he’s not allowed to be touched. Ask Chris Jones.
This was in response to the Tom Brady’s analogy. |

Luck's decision impacts the livelihood/careers of other players and employees on the Colts. If any Colts player has a playoff bonus incentive in their contract, that probably goes out the window now with Luck's decision. Unless something dramatic suddenly happened... i.e. Luck was informed that his injury was life-altering/threatening, for him to quit two weeks before the regular season is selfish/gutless. |

Meh, the Colts weren't going anywhere with Luck. He has talent, but his body and psyche are both made of glass, as far as NFL players go.

Luck is free to use as much HGH as needed to repair his body...
NFL should allow HGH for career-threatening injuries...if the player agrees to bi-monthly testing for the remainder of his career. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-26-2019 at 12:14 PM.. |

Booing him was certainly a bad look, but as Florio and others have pointed out, the people still there in the 3rd quarter of a preseason game are the diehards, a lot of whom were probably season ticket holders. They shelled out a lot of money for that and finding out in the middle of the game that the guy smiling and laughing on the sidelines is riding off into the sunset, well, it’s not surprising they booed. It’s unfortunate, but not surprising.
I’d like to know who leaked to it Schefter. It sure looked like it was strategically timed to make the Colts and Luck look as bad as possible. And it had to have been a trusted, well placed source, someone high up in the organization. Otherwise, Schefter doesn’t run with such a blockbuster story. There is so much going on here that we’ll probably never know about. Just one of the most bizarre stories I’ve seen.

Luck got killed his first 3 years and their dumbass GM drafted a WR instead of OL to protect him.

True on all parts except his psyche. Dude is tough as nails. And I don't think he'd be made nearly as much of glass if the Colts gave him an OL to work with.
