Andrew Luck Retires

Wow, I actually ran downstairs when I saw this pop up on the ESPN bottom line during the Miami-Florida game on right now.

He just collected 12 million in roster bonuses in march. He's leaving 58.1 million on the table by retiring now.

One of the nicest people you'll see. He's just goofy, which is awesome to see at that level. Hopefully this gives him some peace and lets his body recover. I'm from Boston originally, so I am naturally a Pats fan. Pats-Colts was as good as it got, and that animosity still exists, however I'm rooting for him all the way. Good luck to him in whatever he does next.

Also, OJ just drafted him in his fantasy league LOL

The ratio on this tweet is insane

Wow. Too bad, if healthy, he would have broken a lot of records. I'm guessing he'll get a lot of calls for coordinator positions and maybe coach soon enough. Good guy, great player. Good luck to Mr Luck

At least he didn't add any knife emojis to that tweet

I dont blame indy fans booing him at all. You are poised for a season you are a SB contender...then your best player decides to quit 2 weeks before the season. Because its "too hard". Boooo
 
Can't say I blame Indy fans, he waited all the way to the start of the season to make this franchise altering decision. But it's not like you can blame him.

Karma. Almost makes up for killing your ex-wife and a random waiter. Almost.

This guy got injured every year. Was he ever 100% during his career. Plus, providing him with at least a division 2 offensive line during his career should’ve been a priority when he was drafted but it never happened. Football is a brutal sport. Guys are starting to walk away. It’s gonna happen more often. The man can’t go NO MO!!!!!!

Andrew Luck's calf injury isn't going away. We asked doctors if Colts should be concerned.

They were already planning to not have him for the season. There were questions if he would ever play again

I agree with most of this but the whole bit about his offensive line is off. Indy fans repeat it a lot but the Colts drafted 9 guys in the early rounds during his tenure.

That's a lot.

He had a tendency to hold the ball way too long.

Gotta agree with Gottlieb

This whole younger generation is so damn soft. “My ankle hurts, the mental stress is too much” please... Ronnie Lott got his finger tore off mid game, taped up the nub and went back out on the field. Plus you can’t even breathe on QB today without a flag.... We are witnessing the steady progression of the emasculated male. Either that or we’re give these players too much money. My mind is blown. He def deserved some of those boos.

Rant over

Griegson was a total disaster of a GM and barely helped the OL. He did not draft 9 guys early. He drafted 3 bad ones of note. You are using 7th rounders to grease the numbers- 98% of those guys don't pan out. Its like buying a Ferrari and trying to run it on basic unleaded.

Basic rule in life: If this is a sentence you're saying, you're wrong.


Andrew Luck owes nobody anything. He loved football, it broke his body. He gets to enjoy his life and his family. Anyone booing him can go right to hell. He is voluntarily walking away from nearly $60,000,000! Its one of the bravest things I've ever seen. You criticizing him is funny because there's a 0% chance you'd ever do anything like that. I wouldn't do it either! But he did. I've rarely respected a pro athlete more than him for doing this.

Colts fans should boo the crappy GM who didn't protect him.

What Ronnie Lott did was incredibly stupid and the worship of it has made lives worse for dozens of football players trying to live up to that idiotic example.


It's football. It isn't rocket science. We aren't ending hunger or doing surgery.
