NFL: Andrew Luck retiring
- Thread starter Taro Tsujimoto
- Start date
You're right, but they're probably gonna have to trade for somebody since they have basically nothing as their back up now.
Behind Brissett they have some kid from Temple and Chad Kelly.

I don’t think Luck will come back.
His body is broken and he doesn’t need another reason to play anymore.
Down the line, I’m sure he will feel long term affects so why prolong it? He wants to have a life later on..

Colts fans should citizens arrest Ryan Grigson if anything

Well, it wouldn't have surprised anyone if he did. He just didn't. If someone retires, you likewise can't be surprised if he also stays retired.
Lol, If you spent thousands on season tickets just to see Jacoby Brissett, it’s understandable to be a little upset about that.

Smart move by the Colts letting Luck keep his money. It might all just be about doing the right thing for everything he has done for the franchise but whether intended or not, it should also buy some goodwill if he reconsiders. Who knows if Calvin Johnson would've ever come back but the Lions also destroyed that relationship by taking his money.

It makes sense. Luck also could have just sat on the IR all season and collected a pay cheque so it's a fair compromise.

As a Colts fan it's disappointing to see him retire. I knew he had injury concerns so this isn't a surprise. Hope the team plays well with Jacoby under center for them.

Colts would have been reimbursed by insurance though in that case. In this case it's money out of their pocket.

It's about setting a good example. If they hassle him for money, it's not a good look.

Oh I agree. Just pointing out that had they just IR'd him they still wouldn't have been on the hook

Again with the season tickets argument, I really doubt the majority of NFL fans base their season ticket purchases on who's under center for their team, or that the keyboard warriors who weren't even in the stadium and have no financial investment in the team criticizing this wouldn't have also booed, so the whole season tickets argument goes out the window anyway. It's just a stupid emotional reaction from fans, don't add any more to it than already exists.
They need to buy some goodwill back after they (likely) leaked the retirement announcement and got him booed yesterday.

What? Yes it is a stupid emotional reaction. All Im saying is die hard Colts fans, some of them whom are season ticket holders are definitely more upset and less excited about the season today then they were yesterday.

I guess I just don’t understand why they are angry at Luck. Would their season be any better if he took the stage last night to announce his leg isn’t healing so he’s going on IR and missing the season? I get fans are mad about the circumstance, but Luck isn’t healthy. He can’t play.
I don’t see what you don’t understand, their franchise star quarterback just retired out of no where. Even if he couldn’t play to start the season because of health that doesn’t mean he’s not going to play and come back sometime in the middle of the year, or worst case he needs to sit most of the year but still fans know he’s coming back. It’s Andrew Luck, guy is a star that is irreplaceable. Fans being upset is totally reasonable, what Luck did isn’t wrong by any means but it still sucks if you’re a fan.

I doubt your doubt
it's a big investment, and people are fickle-why pay to watch 2nd rate QB play?
The Browns had an explosion of interest in season tickets this offseason:

I think it depends on the city. In Philly, there's like a 30 year waiting list. Most people would buy them and sell them to keep their rights but at this point in the year, you'd have to had already committed.

Kap will never play again and I think it's by his choice. If he fails, it proves that all of the people who said he couldn't play anymore where right and it would hurt his agenda. The % of him failing is higher than his chance of succeeding at this point. He has nothing to gain by chancing it.
