Luck retires

[AtTheMurph]

Maybe the Colts will put him on the Ring of Honor right next to Jim Harbaugh.

(why Jim Harbaugh is on there I have no idea, but he is. 4 seasons with the team, losing record as a starter, never won even a division title. I don't get the Colts.)

I don't believe that for a second. right or wrong decision, he's going to have regrets.

I never said that he wouldn't have regrets. I said that by retiring now, he wouldn't have bad feelings that he might have if he was cut at some point.

I'm not much good at deciding which honor should go to which guy and for what reason. But, the season (1995?) that Jim Harbaugh started on the bench, won a bunch of games in the 4th quarter, sometimes by the seat of his pants, and then took the Colts to the AFC Championship game where they came within one bad call from going to the Superbowl, is on my short list of favorite seasons to have watched.

NO!

Luck's last two injuries were sustained off the football field. He hurt the shoulder snowboarding and he hurt the ankle skateboarding this off season. Was told he'd need surgery to fix it or to just play and suck it up.

He quit instead.

At least that's what you've been told.

Anyone watch the NFL channel this morning?
Gronk was on and in tears over his injuries and not being able to play football anymore.
Pretty good explanation in a bit more detail than Luck did. Guess he pretty much had to get away from football to feel decent again. The toll it takes on the body must be enormous.
I'm closer to 70 than I am 60 and I have a lot of the old injuries that still scream at me. I've had decades to heal up and it helps little if any.
Hindsight? Hell yea, wish it'd been different.

Right there with you. There is not a day that passes I do not wince or get reminded of some idiocy I put on my body and brother the list is long. Many from the work I did. Pushing hard all the time. Paying dearly now.
More than a few that could have been avoid but at the time taking the chance seemed OK.
A couple of “Here hold my beer” moments.

I heard luck “Re-injured his shoulder snowboarding. Hard to say about the ankle. None of us were there.

After I bought a Jeff Saturday jersey, he retired.

After I bought a Pat McAfee jersey, he retired.

After I met Andrew at a brewery, he retired a year or so later.

Am I cursed

The snowboarding injury was copped to by Luck in an interview with NFL.com almost 2 years after the fact. The ankle injury explanation seems to be following the same MO as the shoulder, just not time to admit it yet.

I thought Indytechnerd nailed it on the head, but this wins.

Not heard that interview. So he copped to the entire injury being off field...???

Have you bought any INGO shirts lately?

He admitted it and had a spin at the same time.

Andrew Luck opens up about snowboarding accident, injury - NFL.com

The interesting thing to me is, either the local Indy media is incompetent or they covered it up...

 

[Ingomike]

For all the "it is just a game", "he thought about more than football", I have another take.

Luck signed a contract to do his best to provide a service.

His teammates made decisions based on that...

The team made decisions based on that...

The NFL made decisions based on that...

The fans made decisions based on that...

The TV networks made decisions based on that...

This is big business and there was an appropriate time to retire and this was not it after all the decisions were made based on his commitment...
