Andrew Luck Retires from NFL

[NG Pats Fan]

Lol colts suck on it. Horrible fan base

Who will sport the scrotum beard now that Luck has quit

Andrew Luck will play football in 2020 after a year off, guaranteed.

He's retiring, not taking a year off. I don't know what his contract status might be, but if he decides to come back he likely remains Colts property. Seems he's done with football.

I think the Colts have his rights until 2022

Yeah but they'd trade him because you can't bring back a QB who walked out on you.

Didn't Carson Palmer do this exact thing?

 

[BradyFTW!]

He isn’t a bust, he led the colts to an AFC runner up back in 2014.

I stated pretty clearly that I also didn't think he was a bust, but if that's the high-water mark for a guy that was supposed to be so good you dropped Peyton Manning to get him then you're in disaster territory. I know they give out banners for that in Indy but it doesn't make it a real, legacy-defining accomplishment.

Suck for luck!

Well, we absolutely need a shocked emoticon now.

Anyways, it’s too bad he never got out of Indy and amounted to much. Had so much promise but he Colts and injuries killed him. Wish him well going forward.

People are going to rip on this post, but it isn't that wrong. I wouldn't call him a bust, but he was absolutely a disappointment. Dude was billed as the next great, sure-thing QB, to the point that they bailed on Manning to get him. All for a guy who retired before age 30 having never made an all pro team. If you were billed as the next great thing, failing to be a top 5 QB at any point in your career has to be considered a disastrous outcome considering the expectations.

How many busts throw over 40 TDS in a season. And how many take average at best rosters with average at best coaching to the playoffs, and a title game. Being a bust and not living up to expectations are different things.

Is drew bledsoe a bust? Absolutely not

I’ll take Eric Ebron for Hoyer

That’s kind of ****ed up actually. They can successfully “lose” a top-tier (potential-wise anyway) QB and just immediately tank for a new golden boy right away, twice. Guess the first time didn’t really work out though, despite Luck seeming like a sure fire lock for NFL success.

They have a talented enough roster and a fed-up enough fan base to make tanking unlikely, IMO. My guess is they manage a so-so season then go all-in on some middling veteran QB, a la Minnesota and Kirk Cousins.

Mods could we please update thread title to something like “Massive Story: Andrew Luck to Retire!” This thread title is embarrassing.

HE IS NOT A FU*CK*N BUST. STOP WITH THE NONSENSE. CLOWNS...

 

[venecol]

But the rivalry was back on. LMFAO at the Colts.

Eli manning to the colts lol

“The energy, you know, is sort of sucked out of you,” Luck said. “You feel deflated. … Aw shhhh…”

Not so funny anymore

He isn’t a bust, he led the colts to an AFC runner up back in 2014.

Of course he did. That's what their banners are based upon...

They’re going after Brady next year

I feel so bad for Colts fans. And for Jim Irsay. Especially for Jim Irsay.

This is pretty shocking news. Wow.
