paul-mac Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Per Jason LaCanfora. Honestly I think they’d shut him down if it wasn’t for the fact that 8-8 could potentially win the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I still think shut him down for the season, wait until he's 100%. Why risk ruining the throwing shoulder forever for an 8-8 season ? Don't think that will be enough to win the division. Close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just shut him down. They're only definitely better than like the Browns and Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of an improvement (10-6 will probably be the mark to get at) but I don't think that Indy defense is going to put them in any position to compete around Thanksgiving at the least. All three offenses are firing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, Indy's better off shutting Luck down for the rest of the year, get a high draft choice next year and be ready to go for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just roll with Brissett. Isn't that why they traded for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pretty much everyone has said what I came here to say. Why risk him for a season that isnt going anywhere? Even if he comes back at Thanksgiving, he is going to need some time to get back to game speed and get his timing and rhythm back. Dont take the chance of him getting injured again and then possibly going through the same thing next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Even Andrew Luck will return before Derrick Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially in 2015/Week 3, it was diagnosed as a shoulder strain, he sat for 2 weeks then played a couple games before the lacerated kidney. After the 2015 season they decided not to do surgery and let it heal. It wasn’t until after 2016 that they announced it hadn’t healed like they hoped and decided on surgery. I’m torn on the play him/don’t play him argument. I can see the argument of getting him on the field to see how he fares in real game action before a full offseason, but I also don’t deny that giving him a full offseason of rigorous training could make him more game ready.

I wouldn't blame the Colts if they shelve him for the season and allow him to fully heal before he returns to action 100% next season. Why take the risk? I'm hoping the Packers do the same with Rodgers. I almost don't want us to sniff the playoffs so management won't be tempted to bring him back too soon. It does suck to lose your starter, doesn't it? Without him you don't have a lot of hope in today's QB driven league so your season is basically lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You cannot roll Luck out this season. Jax made 10 sacks, for christ sakes. Putting Luck on that field would be malpractice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
