    They will not go crazy trying to obtain either of the two.  Obviously they'll miss luck but I don't think they will trade for any qbs. They will happily (as happily as possible for losing a franchise qb) go into the season with brissett as the starter and Chad Kelly as the backup

  • The NFL is probably shitting themselves. Players are wising up to the long term health effects of football. Guys are leaving the game, leaving a lot of money, for their own long term well being. 

    We'll probably continue to see changes to the game to make it safer.

    yyyYeahhhhh buuut, this isn't without precedence.  Vikings RB Robert Smith quit to become a doctor, well prior to our present concussion era.

    A player who has 'enough' money...and was always wise with his money, can choose to get out while the gettin's good.  The guy's got enough money,   He claims that he's been in pain all the time, rehab, pain, another injury, pain, rehab, pain.....four years straight......I can't blame him.   But a lot of guys that don't make Andrew Luck money need to stay in the game for as long as they can...in pain or not.   

    Luck wasn't Lucky.  He wasn't one of the lucky ones who mostly avoided injury.  And he just plain got sick of being in pain.

  • The saddest part of this whole thing is that his own (alleged) fans boo'd him. That's a HUGE black eye for the Colts.

    It's really shitty on them, but I think they are in the why wait until 2 weeks until the season starts. profootballtalk.com is reporting that the Colts knew about this possibility in March. The whole story will come out soon.

    Probably, to some degree.  But hopefully his body will heal from his current injuries and he won't be in that kind of pain.  

    ...might I suggest golf.   (going to bed, 7:52am tee time )   🙂

    From What I "Gathered" He plans on going to the XFL. I am not sure if he plans on playing or just doing media type work but the word is that is his next stop

    Thought that was Tim Couch? Most Browns fans thought Brady Quinn was going to be a NFL Super Star and thought D.A. was standing in his way, Anderson was only a tad bit better than Quinn, We won 10 games thanks to Anderson then he fell flat on his face the very next year. Not lets never bring up his name again

    Definitely shitty and a terrible look for the fans...

    ... though I'm not so sure we wouldn't have some posters on here doing the same thing...

  • We have booed our own players, we have booed our entire team at times. 

  • Good for the Dolts. This isn’t about Luck but the way they got him. They intentionally tanked  a season to get him. Then they took care of him by giving him a lousy team and expecting him to carry them solo. Fuck em! They got what they deserve. Go Karma!

  • This sucks. It doesn't matter if you are a Colts fan or not, having elite players retiring way earlier than expected doesn't do any good to the NFL. 

    Luck was a quaterback who made up for the shitty rosters the Colts had for many years. Not only that, he also was the nicest guy and a Independence War veteran. Plus he has an Architecture degree 😉

    Thee Colts and the league will surely miss him. I wish him the best in his future endeavours.

    You could also say that Luck was a victim of those same shitty rosters. They took care of him like I take care of worn out sneakers. I don’t.
