I think I could hear you at the very end of this video.

Four very special QBs, two of them never reached their potential due to injuries.

Oh well, next man up. And I had such high expectations for this season.

It's gonna get more raw if Darnold goes on the have a HOF career.

Hes taken a beating playing football I cant imagine what it takes just to play one year, let alone 9 years.

Fans booed, they paid for that right when they put down a couple grand for a pair of season tickets.

A lot of hatred for someone who did some much good for the Colts, I understand the timing is not good at all, and that's where a lot of the anger is coming from, but respect the man's decision, he is hurting because he poured everything he had into playing QB for the Colts.

If you want to be pissed and hateful direct it towards Grigson.

I'm actually not all that surprised that he retired already, and I believe the Colts will be fine without him.

Excellent post. Who is to say when anyone wants/should retire. Andrew Luck is bright, has millions and has a lot of options in life. I say thanks for the memories and good luck with future endeavors.

I guess Irsay was right about that 6 inches of space between Luck's ears. He's just wired differently than most pro athletes.

I disagree, I think he will be remembered. But not well. I think he will live on in infamy.

Remembered, like when the Irsays screwed the city of Baltimore !!

For him: The man is starting a family. I won’t judge him just as I wouldn’t judge anyone else’s decision to change their career in the best interests of their family.

This is so disappointing but I don’t hold it against the man, if that makes any sense. I just can’t judge someone who puts their body through the ringer like NFL players do and risks their long-term health. If other things are more important to him than football now, then good luck to him and I hope Ballard can pull another McDaniels/Reich.

This is where I am. I get the posters who were drunk last night and posted what they did. However, given the myriad of former players who can barely walk and talk, let alone eat with a fork, I won't be that harsh. I am angry that he didn't give it one last go with this roster, but in the end, there is nothing that I could do beyond vent online, so I move on and root for the guys who wear the Shoe this year.
