Andrew Luck

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.
He'll have pain the rest of his life...

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.

I mean, some Browns fans booed Derek Anderson while he was being carted off the field, so...

THIS is the reason I thought Kyler Murray made a mistake walking away from baseball.

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.

Players leaving well before they have to isn’t some unprecedented thing, but I have no doubt this type of thing will happen more and more.
hell, JT albeit a bit older could have easily come back for several more years but chose against it. It won’t shock me at all to see guys play through their 2nd contract and call it quits around 30.

So do they win a game this season? Sit the vets, lose every game and pick number one. Sounds like the irsay way. Sneak and cheat

According to the NFLPA, the average career is 3.3 years.
Looks like he’ll be a full time caveman for geico now... lol

And yet ironically we had Hue who was able to lasso two number 1's in a row by only being completely incompetent. ?

You do realize that is exactly what the Browns did, right?

Exactly!
The FO there almost deserves this for the number of years they refused to protect the guy upfront. That all took a cumulative toll on his body. And you know what? He never complained about it or lost composure in the pocket or while eluding pressure on the improvise out of the pocket. In fact, sometimes you could hear him on audio/video telling someone that just clobbered him "GREAT HIT."
As much as we're Cleveland Browns fans, a lot of us are fans of the game that really appreciate a guy like this. JJ Watt had a very respectful and understanding perspective on it today on ESPN when they aired comments from players and coaches around the league. And then they showed fans in the crowd as he walked off the field the last time PROUD to show him they're taking off their #12 jersey in disgust.
Not for nothing, but social media really sucks sometimes especially when they leak something like this when he had a presser planned for a more appropriate time to air it.
