Maybe, maybe not. Girlbac took the money and ran.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out that a pill popping Irsay leaked that shit to the media to get back at him for saying **** this shit. The dude hadn't even told the players yet.

A shit tier Franchise.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy it, unless a report comes out that he is physically unable to play or has depression.

The guy was a hoss last year.

You signed a contract.

I have no problem with him retiring because of injuries

But the timing isn't the best

I don’t buy the injury excuse. I mean, it may be part of it, but it’s not all of it. He warmed up without any issues at all last week. Look up that video. I think he’s just a dude who got tired of football.

I think probably he was going to have to go through more rehab and this pussy, who last time I checked didn't have a ****ing optimus prime around his leg like Alex Smith, just said '**** it, thanks for the signing bonus, we out.'

**** that guy, if so.

Andrew Luck lost his love for the game and decided to be a huge pussy and make season ticket holders who plunked down thousands of dollars this offseason enjoy Jacoby Brissett for what will surely be 16 shit-filled tacos of regular season AIDs.

The customer is always right.

This has been a great day...Chiefs #1 future rival just died in its tracks.

Luck is a good dude...the Colts can rot in the cellar for a decade.

Irsay is an odd dude. He’s an old hippy in a modern world.

But he’s not a bad owner. If anything, he’s too loyal. He stuck with Grigson and Pagano for at least 3 years to long.

The colts shouldn’t be that surprised.

I think he's a guy who's been brutalized and he's sick of it, yeah.

He's walking away from 20 something million dollars.

The timing sucks, but people act like he owes them something. **** off, this is his life, man. If he wants to walk away while he can still actually walk, then good for him.

Sucks if you're an Indy fan, but ****, man. For four years, he's been in an injury/rehab cycle.

All these guys calling him a pussy wouldn't have been able to stand a tenth of what he has.

This is a BRUTAL sport. The players have every right to walk away when they want to. If you don't understand that, you're a ****ing child.

Some how some way Bill B will snag him when Brady retires.

I can’t help but laugh at someone who plays the victim on behalf of other people.

That thought definitely crossed my mind...but it would be Kraft pulling the strings.

And shortened his QB's career in result and couldn't even have the common courtesy to make damn sure the kid could tell his teammates himself. Oh and couldn't help but drive all ****ed up out of his mind.

And ****ed every single fan the last time Luck died. He's a ****ing awful dude.

Colts had a lot of glory years though with Manning and Luck. You guys watched a lot of winning football.

I think the injuries were part of it. I think there are other factors too.

I don’t object to him walking away. He’s free to do what he wants. And I still think he’s a decent dude.

But that ankle wasn’t hurting at mini camp? A month ago at the start of training camp?

He just screwed everyone over with the timing, that’s all.

I fell through an attic at work 2.5 years ago and, amongst several other injuries, tore the shit out of my right HIP labrum.

Your shoulder and hip are nearly identical. I had the same surgery as Luck (labral repair), which requires dislocation of hip/shoulder to even do. Two years later it still hurts to walk. I have arthritis from the surgery alone. There's no way in hell it isn't painful for him to throw a football...

I Hate Indy as much as anyone, think Luck is an incredibly odd guy, and get sexual gratification out of seeing one of our Conference rivals dealt a blow, but I can certainly sympathize with the guy.

colts fans can get ****ed

but they absolutely DID get ****ed

and they have every right to boo about being ****ed

Luck starting a new trend

Sign a big ass contract deal with guaranteed money
wait a bit
retire

ROFL

Luck had injury after injury. 4 years of rehab and nothing was getting better.

I think he genuinely wanted to play, but knew his body was done. It’s pretty clear that the guy had depression from being in a constant state of pain for so long.

This guy isn’t even 30 and his body is falling apart. No amount of money or pride can save you from realizing that your real life is in jeopardy if you continue this path.

I don’t blame him one bit. He’s rich and he’s got his whole life ahead of him that he doesn’t want to **** up.

I don’t feel bad for the Colts either. They ruined him.

100%

https://youtu.be/4yMmVzlAJKk

LMAO

That's ****ing rich, coming from a bitch who runs like a little girl.

Sometimes the best things in life are the prayers not answered.

Thank you Mahomes

From a football perspective, this definitely changes my perception of Luck. Like some have said, he’s not a true competitor.

But I respect Luck as a man, and this couldn’t have been an easy thing to do. He did what’s best for him (and the Colts if he’s been pondering this for a long time). They weren’t replacing him in one offseason with a late 1st.

Hindsight’s 20/20 of course

But should the Colts have kept Manning and not drafted Luck?
Would they have had another championship?

The guy's body isn't falling apart. He played 18 games last year and 15 games the year before.

You're telling me a few offseason practices where he didn't get hit rendered his body a disaster area? LMAO

Meanwhile, Alex Smith's right leg is re-enacting scenes from RoboCop.

Andrew Luck is a pussy.

Is he unable to play? Fine. Undergo rehab. Try and get back on the field. You signed a contract.

It would be different if he was at the end of the deal or, at the very least, this happened in March.

So yes, I say, **** this guy. He was chuckling at his press conference.

He is a huge pussy who lost his spirit.

Probably not. He has a face for radio.

Andrew Luck. HoboSpirit advocate.

This has been one unbelievable offseason

From being a legit contender to being a team tanking again.

:deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee:

There's not much in the way now for Jax to take the South

Luck basically did the opposite of what Berry did and Chiefs fans are bashing him too.

at least he is allowing the colts to recupe some of his salary, ROFL

while alex smith probably won't announce his retirement till the last day of his contract ROFL

pussy

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECyTY-3X...pg&name=medium

WOW What the ****? Sure am glad we didn't Suck for Luck.

Berry tried. I never bashed him.

I was laughing my ass off about Luck retiring and I almost drafted him too, but then karma hit and I found out Lamar Miller tore his ACL..who I had just drafted earlier in the day.

As a chiefs fan who has lived in Indy most of my life and joined the board after the no punt game, I'm definitely wearing my Mahomes jersey to work Monday.

**** the colts and I hope they go 6-10 this year to completely screw their franchise.

Someone please contact a Thesaurus company to add Andrew Luck as a synonym for failure, quitting, to give up.

IE: Little Johnny really Andrew Lucked it and got his GED to work at Aldis instead of graduating.

We all saw Clay struggle to run that hill. He shouldnt comment on other peoples physical abilities.

He’s no pussy. A pussy stands on the sideline all year looking like a hobo instead of manning up and retiring. Much respect to Luck.

I mean, it's a rough game, I get it.

He played 18 games last year. Wasn't hurt.

Did he have issues this offseason? Get it fixed. Part of the game.

He just didn't want to deal with it.

Big time pussy.

Clay calling someone else a pussy LMAO

Your voice is higher than most women's LMAO

Never thought I'd see the day when Clay gives more respect to Alex than Andrew Luck ROFL

I mean, we shouldn't be surprised. He's from Stanford. Rich dad. Probably coddled all his life. Silver spoon mother****er.

Life got a little hard while he was enjoying his celebrity status and he decided to call it quits and **** everyone over and giggle about it at his press conference.

****in' pussy, man. Makes real football players look like greek gods.

Unitas is rolling in his grave.

I was a mailman once. I'm one tough son of a bitch.

This occurrence has Clay giving props to Alex Smith... I ****ing love this place.

He was going to need surgery on his Achilles to keep playing. The guys went through a ton of rehab in his career and doesn’t have it in him to keep rehabbing at this point.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Indy drafts a good QB next year and in 2 years Luck wants to return and they get a first and change for Luck.

Look, everyone knows I loathe Alex Smith.

But I cannot deny he is one tough son of a bitch, and what he has done this offseason is clearly one of the toughest things an NFL player has ever gone through.

Alex could have RETIRED and IMMEDIATELY earned every penny of his Redskins contract.

But he didn't do that.

You know why?

Unless the checkdown is open, Alex Smith ain't no ****ing pussy.

Sounds like a big pussy to me.

never been a season ticket holder, can you get refunds?

Luck retired before Brady. What a world.

Yeah you could tell his heart wasn't in it from his rousing sideline speech vs. us in the playoffs last year: "All right guys. Well, here we are."

LOL at the guy on the right calling ANYONE a pussy.

Do not misunderstand what I was saying, because I actually agree with you (though I don’t share in the Smith hate even though I know he wasn’t the answer). It is just amusing to me to watch you prop up Alex. And even more amusing (with nothing to do with you) that it is an Indy QB that brings it about.

Certain weird things just amuse me. I’m odd. I own it.

Do you think Luck even mows his own lawn? I've been doing that all summer. Non-pussy confirmed.

I’d have a lot higher opinion of hobohaglundspirit if he would of just retired. You can through take every other play off Houston in that mix to. Glad your in Indy now.

Yeah - you've got millions, ****ing up your body for life isn't worth it.

Unless it's Mahomes. He can't retire for 15 years.

What the hell? People suck

"mentally worn down"

so luck was not "mentally tough" enough to continue playing in the NFL

that sounds like a big pussy to me

now imagine the mental stress tyreek hill went through this offseason

what was andrew luck dealing with?

the cold reality that he had to continue to make $30 million dollars this year and get his ankle cleaned up, maybe pop a few pills and be a ****ing superstar?

give me a ****ing break.

andrew luck has always been a spoiled rich kid and life got a little bit hard with those NFL boo boos.

Luck's final game was a L to the Mahomes and Chiefs.

I don't think you understand how garbage my franchise has been and is. The powers that be, Dave Caldwell and Tom Coughlin know how to build defenses and suck at offense. This is an offense first league and we are clueless to this fact.

That d is still elite and Foles is much better than Bortles.

Think you guys end up taking the 4 seed

Considering he's probably the closest thing they have to a QB now....

What are you talking about? Coughlin had some good offensives in NY and his first stint with the Jags.

Brady’s will be the same. It’s just a matter if Brady retires after this season ends for him to Mahomes or if he comes back for more season ending losses to him.

The Chiefs schedule looks significantly better/easier when you look at it now. Our toughest games were in that stretch that starts with the Colts.

This defense is amazing. Foles is much better than Bortles except in the sturdiness department. Bortles took a ton of punishment and almost was never injured. Foles on the other hand.

Two names: Mark Brunell, Eli Manning

Why did Coughlin extend Bortles then? Explain that to me. In what world is this ever a sane thing to do? I'll wait...

I wouldnt take Clay too seriously hes part of the new movement that's a reincarnation of Nick Athan. The "Chiefs Kingdom Editorial Board" on Twitter is some pillowbiters who make up news just like Athan. These dudes said Hill would have a new deal 3 weeks ago, and before that said people were going to prison over the Hill fiasco. Lol just lol

Does anyone think for a second that if Luck did not sign one of the largest contracts in NFL history he's retiring?

Players tough through injury when they have incentive.

Apparently Luck no longer has any.

I'm guessing he won't be too welcome in Indianapolis in the future.

Clay,

https://media3.giphy.com/media/s3hZZwFRki8r6/giphy.gif

I'm sure he'll be torn up about it as he sails his yacht down the French Riviera.

Do you think a guy who's made 100 million will give a flying **** what people in a shit hole like Indianapolis think of him?
