Fact is, injuries ****ing suck. I broke my jaw playing baseball, broke my ankle playing football, and a knee sprain ruined my 1 year of college football. What a lot of fans don’t get is that the injuries affect everything you do. Injuries only affect fans on Sunday, but Andrew Luck has to go home and live with this crap.
He’s probably sore every morning, he feels it doing the most mundane tasks, he can’t enjoy his time with his wife, and he probably can’t even sleep through the night. If he feels like this at 30, what’s it going to be like at 40, 50, 60....
I don’t blame the fans for being mad, but at least just be honest about what you’re mad. It’s only because your team got significantly worse.

This sums up the Andrew Luck situation for me, he has enough money and time only gets worse as you get older. you will trade fortune for health if it means less pain, it just isn't worth it.
