Colts can trade for a QB now. Also will open up cap room for the future.
Who would they trade for? I think Brissett is their best option.

A lot of people are, it's all over the place.Who's siding with the employer? This is the same employer that flat out tanked for Luck in the first place anyway, and then didn't get him an offensive line till it was evidently too late.
But this isn't a player vs. team thing. Nor is this some dude who's just quitting cause he wants to smoke pot like Ricky Williams or retiring to go play in Russia like certain NHL players have done, he has had actual injury concerns. If you as a fan are faulting anyone who's been hurt as much as Luck has for walking away from the NFL because of injuries then you do need a priority shift. Yes the timing sucks but obviously this latest injury issue and his reaction to it told him it was time to step away.

Colts fans should be more mad at their brass for failing to protect Luck and keep him healthy than mad at Luck for finally having enough and being broken down
Same was said about Calvin Johnson and he hasn't come back either.
Lol, If you spent thousands on season tickets just to see Jacoby Brissett, it’s understandable to be a little upset about that.Nah, I'd realize my money and fandom are secondary to a dude's decisions about his own health and quality of life. Booing a guy for stepping away from the game he loves due to health is low.
Hope Luck is happy with his decision and has a healthy life outside the game- dude's whicked smaht, if he wants he can return in a position that won't cripple him.
Irsay definitely thinks Luck may change his mind.
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.
Colts would have been reimbursed by insurance though in that case. In this case it's money out of their pocket.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.

Oh I agree. Just pointing out that had they just IR'd him they still wouldn't have been on the hookIt's about setting a good example. If they hassle him for money, it's not a good look.

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.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, don't add any more to it than already exists.
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.What? Yes it is a stupid emotional reaction.

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 guess I just don’t understand why they are angry at Luck.

I doubt your doubtAgain 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,
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.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:

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.
