TitanLegend Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Imagine booing a human being like Andrew Luck, much less a human being like him that's also done so much for your franchise. Completely classless. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fans looked forward all season as Super Bowl contenders, bought season tickets, bought $300 Luck jerseys, and all their money and aspirations gets sunk in the matter of seconds. A possible Super Bow Contending team may win 5-6 games. The roster is too good to even tank for a QB! Terrible predicament. Just like a player getting hurt, your entertainment experience isn't guaranteed to be an awesome thing. Maybe keep an arms length form sports because of circumstances like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone angry he chose his health/family over immaterial things needs to buy a mirror because you need to reflect on what you would do. Yea, it's his life so he made a decision, but that's a simple way to look at it. Why? Because his decision impacts tons of other people, too. When you quit a week and a half before the season starts.... you literally didn't give the team any chance to replace you. What about the other 52 guys in the locker room who look up to him, would do anything for him, etc. He just decides to walk way. Like you said, he can do whatever he wants, but people also have the right to be upset. Everyone can understand why he did what he did, but the timing is really bad. I get that 'he didn't know' and all that, but it's still horrific timing for everyone else besides Andrew Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherm Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, showtime said: Saying that Andrew Luck is retiring because he's mentally drained and is focusing on his physical and mental health is great. That's fantastic. Everyone should wish him well in that respect. But that's Luck's point of view. When you make decisions in life, other people have their point of view as well. The 53 guys in the locker room just lost their franchise QB on the brink of the season starting. The fans just lost all hope. While people can respect Luck's decision, it comes with ramifications for other people. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but I understand both sides of it. His teammates now I agree that's different. They see him everyday and talk to him. If he's giving the get ready for wk 1 attitude thats wrong. They have the right to be pissed at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH dude ain't even the best QB on his team With Blake Bortles gone, it's now certain that Mariota is the worst QB in the division. Watson - Foles - Tannehill - Brissett - Henne - McCarron - Mariota. That's pretty much written in stone...the Titans are a 13-3 team that Mariota manages down to a 9-7 record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe keep an arms length form sports because of circumstances like this. I’m sure these fans will change their tune but in the heat of the moment you have no idea how you would react. What if Steve Young retired before Week 1 of 1994? Your first reaction is going to be anger, frustration, and overall sick. After a few hours I’m sure you’ll appreciate Young. Luck should ‘t of been on the sidelines. This was a gut punch to fans. Edited August 25, 2019 by BayRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It really does seem like you need to be at least somewhat insane to succeed as an NFL QB for a prolonged period. Luck seems like a grounded and rational human being who would rather spend time living his life than obsessing monomaniacally over game film and his throwing technique. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riftty Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm guessing he had a season ending injury with his calf. That can be the only reason this is happening. I could see that being soul crushing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. its almost like theres a difference. its why decent people give at least 2 week notice if you quit but theres no 2 week notice if being fired. btw... luck should be able to retire without crap from others, but that was just an awful response by rams.

PossibleCabbage Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hypothetically if Andrew Luck told the Colts in April "Yeah, I'm thinking about retiring. I've been beat up a lot and I don't know if I have another major injury in me- if it happens I'm done" what would the Colts have done differently?
