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.

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.

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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
