Luck is soft and he gave up on himself and his team.  I always thought the dude was weird and so glad he stayed in school and we didn’t get stuck with him as our QB. With our o-lines over the years we would likely be in the same position.

“I am a HUGE Andrew Luck fan. Always have been. But this I cannot defend or justify,” Beuerlein wrote. “NO scenario where retirement is defensible. To do this to his teammates, organization, fans, and the NFL 2 weeks before the season is just not right. I love the guy but this will haunt him. Point is this is a massive decision he SAID he has pondered for 10 DAYS! Colts invested in him for 5-10 more YRS! Go on IR, get away for a few weeks and think about it. Get healthy for 2nd half of season and make a run! Colts are good! If Jacoby goes 4-4 they have a chance! His team needs him to make this run. I know rehab is tough. I had 19 surgeries as a player. 8 over 2 years. It sucks! But he owes it to his team. It is just a lower leg injury and it will heal! Just give it a chance. If it doesn’t walk away after this year.”

And that would be why Luck retired....

Congrats to Beuerlein for playing through all of those surgeries and likely giving himself a terrible quality of life for retirement. The Colts literally had about as shitty of a oline as we gave Cam for about 5 years and that is a big factor as to why Luck is so beat up. 

Luck has enough money, has a good education, and doesn't seem like an idiot that is going to blow all of his money on strippers and cocaine. I think he will be just fine, even if the entire state of Indiana hates him

PF is my favorite band, though I'm a bigger fan of Gilmour than Waters (I tend to favor music over lyrics... not saying at all that Waters wasn't/isn't a great musician himself though).

Wright and Mason were severely underrated... Wright especially so.

im a huge fan of PF

 

i tend to favor waters, though I have nothing against gilmour and love his musical skill. cant have PF without waters or gilmour imo. Waters gave PF their magic. the underlying concepts are just brilliant imo. the music stands on its own as some of the best. the concepts thrown into pink floyd takes it to a whole new level for me. PF is art and not only hits the soft spot for me musically, but really allows me to introspectively contemplate the human experience and all of the archetypes that go along with it. theres a lot of Jungian psychology in PF and and a jungian junky. so i love waters. and i almost think its art in of itself because he seemed to go off the deep end in fame and arrogance and literally became the dictator in the wall! pointing the finger GET THEM UP AGAINST THE WALLLLLL

gat damn now i gotta listen to the wall lol    

 

but yeah PF musically stands on its own as one of the best (the best imo) but waters took it too the next level incorporating some brilliant archetypes  

 

and PF lost that magic when he left

  SSDD. Always the team first....right?????

 Maybe you should have played long enough to know what the person might be going through? Or are you just guessing and bashing as someone who never played football at any level. Because that much is fairly obvious. 

  Just to be clear, you think the team comes before any players health? Is that the prevailing opinion now. A team with fans that lose their minds every time a player leaves, for any reason, is now chastising another player for doing what HE feels is best for him and his family. 

As always. Team first....Logic last. 

People who say team first more than likely have never played a snap. They expect professional athletes to do the exact opposite of what they would do if in the same position.

It's a damn shame there is zero accountability in today's society.. 

same people who say this also hate outrage/sjw/cancel culture for trying to hold people accountable for what they do and say

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
