HitStickAllDay Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 These fans are lame. I really enjoy Andrew Luck. I think he battled his hardest. On an irrelevant scale, I’ve had the joy of a career sucked out me. It’s not a fun process. It’s soul crushing when it was your passion. Ultimately life is about you and the ones you love. It’s not about a game or a career. Existing as a human and finding peace is far more important. Life is too short to do something for other people. Good on you, Andrew Luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I don't understand why most fans are fine with booing for players trying their hardest and fail (drops, fumbles, etc) but not fine with booing on a QB quitting 2 weeks before the season in a team with Superbowl aspirations. I don't think either should be booed but the latter seems more deserving to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, but who could have predicted Luck would get sick of playing this early in his career? He did leave Indy in a jam right before the regular season starts so I can understand the fans' displeasure but to boo him off the field?

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 They should thank their lucky stars that they were able to replace Peyton with Luck even if it was short lived. Most teams never get a chance to replace their best QB with another elite level QB when on the field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity_Cometh Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Brissett isn't exactly chopped liver. He's no Andrew Luck but maybe Reich can mold him into something. The talent is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Barry Sanders? People are jerks, by and large. Expecting non-jerkish behavior is unreasonable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts run game is actually pretty impressive with Mack/Hines as the 1/2 and a great OL, and the defense has some good pieces with Leonard, Hooker, Justin Houston, etc. The Colts are more than a collection of players held together by Luck, Chris Ballard has developed a unit that can compete on its own.

I think it's the same thing here. That (super tiny small fraction) of fans that booed Luck were booing the fact their season got derailed. Selfish, yes, but again it's no different than hoping the head coach of your favorite team loses his job. You want him to lose his job to better your team. Just like those fans were booing Luck because it worsened their team. I get the fans did a douchey thing. But I don't understand why people are making such a big deal out of it. It's not that serious. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elky Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) He absolutely deserved to be booed. The team went from possible Super Bowl contenders to likely top 5 draft pick. It would be one thing if this was done earlier in the offseason, but doing this a week before the opener is like not giving a two weeks notice. His reasoning shows he was mentally weak.

Luck is a pretty smart guy. I think that he was aware of the problem it would cause for his team. I think that is why it took him so long to make this decision and the fact that he did speaks to how hard it must have been. Of course, this is just my opinion.

INbengalfan Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Over reaction obviously in the heat of the moment. Calmer heads will prevail. Andy Dalton was once booed at a charity softball game. Once the dust settles, the great times will be remembered. The timing of his announcement will be forgotten, except by jilted fans who believe he did it just to pi$$ them off personally.

Steelersfan43 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The organization of the Colts seem to respect and understand the Andrew Luck's decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
