Has Luck been on the record about anything lately? I think he is as hush hush as the rest of the team on this situation.

I think that's the underlying theme of the statement- I guess it's tongue in cheek that maybe just maybe, he's sort of done doing this shit. While certainly cheesy the metaphor of the lambo with no garage does seem to hold sway.

If you are this once in a generation talent and you've watched the madness of this front office situation- starting with an owner that let's be real- is out of his head and needs to be sent to pasture, and each week having to learn the names of the 5 guys protecting you (I think I heard that we had 10 different starting combinations last year and i am not mistaken of Lucks starts something like 63% of them have been a different OL combo) and then seeing your coach pull lunatic moves like NE while constantly spewing absolute cliched horse shit drabble over and over... yeah I'm not sure how invested I would be either! He has like what $170 million reasons to kinda be a little disinterested...

I knew I wasn't misremembering things... yes, Edge was unhappy based on them having him practice despite his knee being shredded beef.

There's precedent with this organization and I don't think it's a GM thing, I think it's an out to lunch owner thing.
i don't think irsay has anything to do with making players practice. that seems just absurd

i won't assume that is legitimate

i think if luck had serious issues with his protection, there would be changes in

1) the dudes on the line. more money for vets and not developmental dudes

2) scheme change to a more west coast offense.

Maybe hes just not ready, mentally, to come back and take some more beatings week after week.

So, do you think the Doctors misdiagnosed Edge's knee injury on orders from Irsay?

I doubt that. Who wouldn't want to get out there and play? He is a pro
