pretty sure he was projected to be ready.

Gregg Doyel works up in Indy now. Heard him on SiriusXM last week. He said there was a big question mark about this latest injury, and that he expected Luck to miss the first 4 weeks of the season. 

ETA: On a related note, if we're gonna start paying quarterbacks $30 million/year, this might start happening more often.

   I don’t go to Eric Reid for roster moves and advice. 

Good to hear.  Seems like most fans think Reid is the smartest guy in the room.

Andrew Luck has pissed off OJ.

Why did a thread about another team's qb retiring become a pissing contest?  Oh well, par for the course for social media these days.

 

Anyway, I don't blame him.  He is probably at the point where the money is no longer worth the physical and mental toll the game takes.

People invested thousands in his rookie cards and now there worth poo

Love? No.

I *love* my son. Cam Newton doesn't even approach the area of “love”, $h1thead.

But I have, longer than ANY of you ungrateful $h1theads, observed the dedication and effort that Cam Newton gives to his fans and the ungrateful $h1theads that SHOULD be his fans.

So have I seen Cam Newton be crapped upon by those so called fans (lookin’ at you) even though he gives every ounce of blood and sweat to do his very best?

Yes, I have.

Do I have ANY sympathy for a silver-spooned rich boy who was lifted on the shoulders of the entire Cam-hating country and the NFL as their fugging Great White Hope?

No... no, no I don’t.

Andrew Luck will be FINE. Just like his father, who was a SHITTY quarterback, was fine.

So  you boo hoo hoo all fugging damn day over Andrew Fugging Luck if you want, fan-boy.

Fine. 

I’m not as good and awesome and amazingly perfect person as you are. Freely admitted.

What I *do* know is that this fanbase doesn’t and didn’t deserve the blessing they got when they drafted Cam Newton.  I have zero doubt about that.

God you’re fuging weird

Watch the press conference. He says “it’s been four years of injury rehab injury...my body is just done”

What he actually said was, “it’s been four years of injury rehab pain injury rehab pain  .....”

It's the pain that stands out to me. Four years of it. That could make the manliest of men change what they are doing. The timing of it isn't the best but it is his decision and I have nothing to say about that.

Can we talk about how NC state will now have 3 starting QBs in the NFL?!

(yes Russell counts)

[Judo Thoreau]

In my opinion, he’ll take a year or two off, get healthy, and slide right into the Patriots’ starting QB job when Brady retires (probably gonna take a couple firsts to work it out). 

His comments made it seem like it he wants to play, but has no faith in his body right now. Probably a partial indictment on the Colts’ lack of a competent medical staff.
