Read idiot.

It blows my mind that this guy spent 4 years sucking off Alex Smith and now continues to put Andrew Luck on blast for the sins of the most incompetent GM in recent history and his pill-popping boss.

If you disagree, then disagree. But to ask someone to explain why they think it's Irsays fault after a prolonged back and forth that does precisely that... dafuq?

But, . . . how's it Irsay's fault?

But why male models?

Still hung up on Smitty huh? !

Oh yeah How does Andrew Lucks dick taste? Just curious since you've clearly been sucking it lately.

Blaming Lucks retirement on the owner of the team is just stupid. Irsay did everything he could for Luck. It isnt his fault Luck is too mentally weak to deal w rehab from an injury

I mean, apart from continuing to employ the mouth-breathing half-wit that saddled him with the OL that subjected him to more abuse than any QB since David Carr.

Yeah, 'everything he could' other than insist on a player personnel department that could get him from being beaten like a rented mule every weekend.

I couldn't give one **** less about Alex Smith - not my circuis, not my monkeys. I just find it hilarious that the guy who bent over backwards defending the guy can't acknowledge that maybe a competent owner/front office doesn't see their HoF quarterback walk away in the middle of his prime.

For all the excuses you'll make for a mediocre player like Alex Smith, you're sure coming down awfully hard on Luck.

I'm not coming down hard on Luck. If you are a superstar QB and you retire two-weeks before the start of the season guess what? A lot of ppl are going to be pissed. Remember, he got booed last time he was on the field.

I know you white knights like to create excuses for him but not everyone thinks like y'all. Sorry if that upsets you.

Sure they did.

A bunch of inbred hoosiers who wouldn't have come back for a 2nd day of full contact practices if they had even made it through day 1 with the capacity to do so.

Have you ever been to training camp? I suggest you do so if you haven't. This year wasn't a good year for it because it was so crowded but in years past, you could get right down on the sidelines during team drills.

Those guys aren't even hitting each other as hard as they can in those full team 'scrimmages'. Even at 80% speed when you're standing 15 feet away from them and there's no crowd noise muffling things or detracting from the action - the brutality is stunning. And it isn't just a couple 'wow' moments per practice - it's on ordinary plays. It's on a simple swing pass to a back who gets squared up and taken down. On a run up the middle that nets 2 yards. Nothing that doesn't happen dozens of times a game. But when you see these guys at field level doing it to each other and you hear it, your understanding and appreciation of what they put themselves through skyrockets.

Nobody - !@#$ing nobody - that boo'd Andrew Luck has seen that. Because they'd all understand what he did if they had.

Television knocks the edges off everything. It makes baseball look like the easiest thing in the world. Then you get a field pass to a spring training or college game and you remember why you made those errors when you were a kid - that games !@#$ing tough. It makes basketball players look small until you get down there a few rows off the court and can't figure out how 10 guys that size occupy a court that small. It makes hockey look slow.

And it makes football look sane. It isn't, man. Nothing about it is.

And blasting away at Andrew Luck for making a decision that is undeniably in his best interests for the next 50 years just demonstrates how little you seem to understand that.

When I was a sophomore we went to camp at CMSU and Eureka was there IIRC, and Tony Temple was a SR. Anyway, I was a 175 lb sophomore safety at a small class one school. In some random drill I fill a hole and think "I've got this dude set up on a T to just blast" and he absolutely ran clean ass over me, like I wasn't there.

It's a different level.

I got hit by a kid that ended up playing high-level DII ball (I think). This wasn't some freak of nature but just a strong, fast, aggressive kid who ended up getting a scholarship and some run at a small school. Held onto the ball and was damn proud of myself. And I wasn't going off the field because I wasn't gonna let him see that he drilled me.

But evidently I didn't look nearly as good as I thought I did because the coach came out there and dragged me by my shoulder pads out of the huddle. I guess I was a little wobble-legged or something, I dunno. I saw stars and yacked and that was the end of my day. Felt it for a couple days afterward.

And that was nothing compared to what these guys face. And while bigger, stronger, faster men can exponentially increase their ability to deliver abuse, the body's ability to take said abuse can only go up so much. Bones don't get bigger and stronger when you work out. Tendons don't. Nerves don't. Your brain bouncing around your skull doesn't.

Were I 26 yrs old and 225 lbs, I would still feel 80% as much of that blow as the 18 yr old, 165 lb version of me. Meanwhile, the NFL caliber version of Cordell (the dude that smoked me) is delivering 100% as much force. He's bigger, he's stronger, he's faster and he's !@#$ing meaner because this is his life.

And you just don't realize it from afar. The sights and sounds from up close are alarming. I lack the capacity for empathy so it's not something that's ever made me consider not being a fan anymore (DANCE FOR ME, CLOWNS!!!), but it was damn sure eye-opening.

Keyboard warriors can chug cock on this one. They're just absolutely wrong.

I'm pretty sure Tony Temple went to Rockhurst.

I dont know how many times I have to say i dont have a problem w Luck retiring it is the timing of it that i have an issue w.

And it is easy for you to say 'Luck is doing the right thing,' but if you bought season tickets for the Chiefs and Mahomes retired at age 29 right before the season I seriously doubt you would come to his defense. So spare me your Andrew Luck retirement bullshit cause I'm not buying it. You just dont care cause he plays for a rival team.
