So you've gone from wheel chair to who would be willing to get hit by DE's. Big difference. Luck is as big as DE's and gets paid crap loads of money to be a qb.1. How many people would be willing to crushed by Kerrigan or balled stomped by Suh even after earning enough money to set their children up for life.
2. How many people would choose to train with the rigors required of a professional athlete and endure that travel schedule even after earning enough money to buy a small Caribbean island.
Sorry for the backpedaling and misinformation I must have sounded like a real Trump. What I meant to to say is “we should boo him because he’s a Loser. Indianapolis is getting a new offensive line and it’s going to be Great the Biggest offensive line there ever was and Andrew Luck is going to pay for it. Is that better?So you've gone from wheel chair to who would be willing to get hit by DE's. Big difference. Luck is as big as DE's and gets paid crap loads of money to be a qb.
Kind of puts guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees in perspective doesn’t it1. How many people would be willing to crushed by Kerrigan or balled stomped by Suh even after earning enough money to set their children up for life.

You only mention two but do you know of another NFL QB who quit playing in the prime of their career?Kind of puts guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees in perspective doesn’t it
Colin KrapernickYou only mention two but do you know of another NFL QB who quit playing in the prime of their career?
Having a conversation about Luck quitting and you inject Trump? I wish you would've just told me were a Trump obsessed fool. I wouldn't have bothered responding to you in the first place.Sorry for the backpedaling and misinformation I must have sounded like a real Trump.

I am very embarrassed by these few Colts fans. I agree with you about the effect alcohol may have had but I think local sports writers had been praising the talent on this team as a potential Super Bowl team and setting fan expectations a little too high. They have repeatedly claimed the offensive line has been fixed. I'm not convinced and I think Brisset will have to scramble to keep from getting killed. Personally, I think Kelly may be the big surprise and may emerge as the Colts qb of the near future if he can keep his nose clean. I'm still not convinced that Jacoby is of starter quality. Hope I'm wrong.I mean the boos came from a state of shock. You see him on the sideline during a game, in his prime, during a year where they can win a super bowl, with alcohol probably in your system, he’s on the sideline, and then read the news on your phone or get a text about it. Did anyone really expect for everyone to get up and clap? Yea it sucks but most of those people will go home and understand the decision.
Jake Plummer 2005 Pro-Bowler broke a couple of Elway’s single season records in Denver and then 2007 retired at like 31 or 32. Unless you were talking about Jeff George...jk.
Dude he had that 4,000 yard 29 TD season at like 30 years old. Hardly meh. That is statistically better than Joe Montana’s best season. Plays one more year then he’s just like over it!Eh. Jake Plummer’s best season was 4,000 yards and 29 TD’s and that was by far his best season. I think he was about done anyway.

Dude...Andrew Luck owes you nothing.
No, not really. Not until the Colts offer up more information on what they weren’t telling everyone. It’s a violent game, man. Sometimes “it’s time to hang it up” don’t you think he would have Not retired if the compilation of injuries wasn’t as great as it is most likely? We’ll never really know all the injuries he has sustained in his career, but obviously when you’re trying to ‘plant and throw’ And your ankles have been torn up to the point that doctors misdiagnosed a high ankle sprain it must be pretty bad. Don’t forget these guys were getting their ankle is twisted back in junior high by defense of lineman trying to “take them out of the game”.He retired 2 weeks before the season when he has had this injury for months. You don’t think he deserves some boos for setting the team back several years at least?
Let's be real here, Luck was never going to play this season because he sprains/pulls/breaks something when he gets sneezed on. So I get why he chose to end it.
I'm not a dolts fan, but him retiring is a good thing for them really because now they can go get a less fragile QB.
I guess those thoughts weren't in his mind when he signed that huge extension contract when he was already injured.That was very mature. So a guy “hangs it up“ so that one day he can carry his grandchildren through a park or down the hallway of his house without the assistance of others? And all the sudden it matters “how you feel“ about it? I think the one that needs to go screw themselves as you. You have no idea all of the other “failed diagnosis“ that I’m going on with Andrew luck related to the shoulder and other injuries we will never know about.
The NFL is a violent game and any player can retire anytime, These injuries are not about one ankle injury or one concussion or one shoulder injury it’s about the compilation of injuries since they began playing as a young teenager. Put yourself in their shoes instead of being selfish.
One of my cousins was a three-time All-American in the late 90s in college as a linebacker. You could’ve played in the NFL but his shoulders had been injured one too many times from all of the violet hits he put on running back’s so he opted not to even go to the combine. That’s life when you choose your family over your career.
Can't say I blame him. Hit one too many times and has continual injuries.
"TOUCHE"!I mean it’s weird to call out fans who boo about this yet media, the NFL, and owners make billions off dollars off those same fans. For people to be so invested to support these teams, shell out millions of dollars for cities to finance stadiums, there is a big investment both financially and emotionally into these trans and their success. I don’t think it’s its that weird that people boo. Without fans these guys make no money because billionaires wouldn’t own treats if they didn’t make money. Shit, there are many other jobs that people work that destroy their bodies and they are paid shit and companies don’t give s damn. Basically, it’s no big deal that the fans booed. I get it.
Professional entertainers who don't entertain get booed, particularly when they cancel last minute.I guess those thoughts weren't in his mind when he signed that huge extension contract when he was already injured.
Absolutely and when you hurt the ankle snowboarding just sit down with Oliver and figure a way to just take the money and run. Irsay and the Colts were played and Andy is counting his money having a nice life.Professional entertainers who don't entertain get booed, particularly when they cancel last minute.

That is my issue with this whole thing. As I mentioned I am not even a dolts fan and when and how he did this is what is crappy of him.Absolutely and when you hurt the ankle snowboarding just sit down with Oliver and figure a way to just take the money and run.

Bad take. The Colts retain all rights to Luck following his retirement. The "way out" is only through a MAJOR offering by the Pats to the Colts.My take on this is that Luck will find a way out of his commitment to the Colts and take over in New England, replacing a retired Tom Brady.
Imagine what a scumbag move it would for him to return three years later to another team when his contract is up after keeping the bonus.Colts only have his rights through the end of his contract. Just sayin.
If Luck " returns " 3 yrs. from now, it'll be to the Colts. They retain rights to him. Somebody ELSE wants him ? They'll be paying through the nose. Draft picks/player(s)/ $'sImagine what a scumbag move it would for him to return three years later to another team when his contract is up after keeping the bonus.
