PossibleCabbage Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 16 minutes ago, Leader said: Mike Garafolo: Colts owner Jim Irsay notes Andrew Luck is giving up almost $500 million by walking away from the NFL. With QB salaries already at $35 million per year, Luck would’ve pushed $40 million APY soon. Another deal after that maybe over $50 million APY ... yeah, that sounds right. The amount of money Andrew Luck needs to be happy in retirement is a lot less than the amount of money he already has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I can’t imagine that more money accumulated translates to more actual happiness once you get past somewhere in the $2-10M range. Assuming basic financial hygiene, at least.

Assuming basic financial hygiene, at least. I remember a StatsMech class I had in undergrad, every assignment had (as a heuristic exercise) to sketch the utility curve of money. It was impossible to not get full credit on it if you did it, but every time you'd get notes like "what about this situation". I think about that a lot. It's a really nonlinear curve, since the utility of $1m is more than a million times that of $1, but it plateaus considerably until you get into the "you command the GDP of a medium-sized country" territory. Luck was never going to reach that next spike playing football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizer guarantees the Colts the #1 pick next season, so they have their pick of QBs. Is that not worth #33 overall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, was he ever going to earn enough money to purchase whatever superscience he would need to resolve the health problems he has? Most of what would stand in his way of happiness is not reasonably solvable with "more money". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not like he's going to just stop working either. The guy is an objectively smart guy from an amazing school who seems like he's always had intellectual pursuits in addition to football. He's still gonna earn a ton somewhere, maybe not more than star QB but oodles more than the average US household. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It’s just a good thing the Colts got a franchise guard. Don’t know what they’d build their team around if they’d used a top 10 pick on a franchise corner, edge or DL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming basic financial hygiene, at least. If memory serves, the Luck family was already pretty well set financially before luck entered the NFL. That was part of the reason Luck was fine staying at Stanford through his senior season. The money was never as big a factor for Luck as the typical NFL player entering the league.
