mission27 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not to mention gronk had nothing left to prove. Already a first ballot HOF multiple time sb champ and one of the goat. Luck had the opportunity to be a HOF and lead his team to a SB if he stuck around but instead will be remember as a disappointment who was a good player but didn’t live up to the hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Suck for Luck turns into Never without Trevor... He's been so beat up and was so good when healthy at a young age. The NFL will miss him Edited August 25, 2019 by G 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointment? Based on what? Dude absolutely lived up to the hype and more and did so with a terrible head coach for the most part and an awful OL. Pretty much never had a run game. The takes in this thread are so bad lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is the gronk comparison isn’t really relevant age aside, gronk had nothing left in the tank and nothing to prove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The takes in this thread are so bad lol Because when you draft a QB #1 overall you want that guy to be your QB for 15 years and win a ring at the end of the day, Luck was a top QB in the nfl for a few years but will still be viewed as a disappointment if this is the end for him. That’s just reality tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 10 hours ago, PossibleCabbage said: The Colts will put him on the Reserve/Retired list, so if he were to rescind his retirement he would still be under contract with the Colts. This is true. But if the Colts were to draft another Top 10 QB, there investment would be too great in said player to role with another QB, especially one that retired on you at a moments whim and could do so again. Other teams would be interested in trading picks, but this debacle and Luck’s health would lower his trade demands from what he could’ve gotten them prior to this announcement. If I’m a team I would give a 2nd but not a 1st, because I wouldn’t know exactly what mentality I’m buying into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts as an organization failed Luck in my opinion which is also loosely used. I think him coming off the season he just had paints the wrong picture to to fans saying he had so many years left. No one can say what he was going through physically especially as the weather changes he didn't look amazing in that Chiefs game. It's impressive that he rebounded last year the way he did I just don't think that's sustainable. Clearly Luck didn't that's why he's walking away.

SBLIII Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Luck has battled a lot of injuries and he has had enough and was not feeling comfortable anymore. You can't knock him for that. Only to wish him the best post retirement and congrats on a great career at Stanford and Indianapolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impressive that he rebounded last year the way he did I just don't think that's sustainable. At the end of the day, he’s a quarterback we’ve seen guys like manning come back from nearly being paralyzed to win MVPs at 38 or whatever If he had the desire to continue playing for 10 years, sure he’d have to battle through injuries and maybe not be the same guy and risk life and limb and his happiness and the rest of his life, but that was an option he made the choice that he didn’t have any passion left to do that... and said as much. Not judging him for that, but it is a very surprising decision in the world of pro sports a guy like gronk was just not going to be a very good player in a year or two. So he maybe gave up one or two more good years, as already a shadow of his former self. That’s a lot different than a decade and a few hundred mil from a guy at the top of his position. Again not judging the guy, it’s his decision, but it’s a shocking one tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
