There was a study done a number of years ago in one of the major medical journals regarding this. A number of people with chronic low back issues were given MRI's and found to have nothing wrong with them...On the contrary, people with no chronic pain issues received the same MRI and were found to have actual structural abnormalities.

There was a Medical Doctor by the name of Sarno that researched this extensively from the 1960's through the early 2000's. He basically found that many people with chronic pain issues are actually triggering their problems subconsciously due to past psychological issues and emotional traumas.

So, I don't think it's fair to point the finger at Luck by saying "he's fine" and "he's lying about being hurt", because you really have no idea, and frankly neither does Modern Medicine, about what is going on with the guy.

Getting continuously destroyed and tackled and sustaining REAL physical injuries over the course of several years would certainly have an effect on a person. So, while his physical injuries may have healed, he could still be ****ed up psychologically.

That said, he deserves better than being booed by your fanbase.

He deserves to get booed for retiring two-weeks before the start of the season. I dont understand why this is so hard to understand? You want to retire fine... Do it in the offseason before teams sign FAs and fans buy season tickets using their hard earned money... It is called empathy clearly Luck lacks that... Not saying this makes Luck an asshole in life but this was def a dick move.

Doesnt surprise me the QB lovers on here will defend anything a superstar QB does.
