Duluther Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I wish I could walk out of my career contract right now without people in my community doing the equivalent of booing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I wouldn't be one of them) Did these people booing know he was going to retire at the time? 2 In Philly? Are you kidding? They would have been tearing the chairs out of the floor of the stadium and throwing them at the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams never get a chance to replace their best QB with another elite level QB when on the field To be fair, after Manning retires they had Luck injured for two years and then he played decently well after a slow start last year. They effectively got rid of Manning for one extra year of Luck. They thought they were trading 3-4 years for 15-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Any fan who booed Luck for this decision should seriously re-evaluate their life. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a classy move by the Colts organization. Those taking shots at Irsay and company at least have to give them credit for this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if you want to anger your fans even more than they already are. Everyone knows the Colts ruined Luck's career. The Colts know it, Luck knows it, the fans know it. Asking him to give most/all of that money back would only drive fans to be more angry with the organization IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that if he ever does decide to come back this smooths things over to get optimal compensation rather the alternative of leaving things bad.

That's very possible then. 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. No, not at all. Yes, they are. Unreasonable I am, then.

I don't like Irsay but this is a class act move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
