I could give a rat's ass what Andrew Luck does but let's be honest about the situation. Anyone who has been part of a team knows the sacrifice that us made and when the captain, the FACE, of the franchise QUITS on his team let's not make him out to be a hero because he put his family first. Millions of people do so and even more get up every morning and go to a job they hate and put up with all sorts of BS because it's what is best for their family and dont have someone applauding them for it. If you live in the spotlight and take the praise and admiration that goes with it be prepared to take from heat from people "hiding behind a keyboard" I put my name out there so definitely not hiding The difference is that we have to keep going to work so we can take care of our families. If you told me I would have 50 mil in my bank account tonight I would not ever show up for work again. 2 hours ago, Billingsley99 said: I think a few lines were omitted. There is nothing cowardly about turning your back on 52 guys that helped you make your BIG money. There is nothing cowardly about teaching kids that's it ok to quit something you started even though so many parents and coaches and teachers etc say if you start something finish it. I think this post implies that you think he was a coward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Yes as a huge Colts fan I am very disappointed that Luck retired and yes the timing was not ideal. As a human being I can have compassion for him and understand why he made that decision when he did. To me it is way more important to think as a human being than and have that compassion over thinking irrationally as a sports fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing maybe. Not saying he was cowardly but dont think he should be made to be a hero for putting his family.

Seeking6 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Two things listening to local radio this afternoon in Indy. 1) To say the Colts are irate about how this got leaked is an understatement. According to the guy on air he was saying the Colts will find out whoever did this and according to the guy he said if Luck finds out it's someone close to him.....they are done. Huge issue for Luck camp right now because no one was supposed to know. 2) After this interview they started talking about the $ conspiracies, tickets sales,etc....and I kid you not basically broke down the same numbers we were discussing on here yesterday. Does anyone think the radio guys cruise sites for their content? Must admit....it was so close in the examples they had to of been lurking here.

As far as #2, I believe they do cruise sites. It might not be the host, but the people under them and they pass on the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Maybe other people can chime in. I'm hearing some strange stuff on Luck. Might be bigger issues in play here than most fans thought. Actually that's all I'm going to say. I know that's BS,etc....but not touching rumors. Bigger issues in play here.

Anyone listen to JMV yesterday? Can't remember which guest but he said something along the lines of I hope there's not more to the story in regards to his health. As I said earlier in the week, who looked healthier, Irsay or Luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard any rumors, but have felt all along that there was a story behind the story. That said, I would be cautious about any specific rumors, as this is just the type of a scenario where those get out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always feel bad this time of year. Guys will find out in the next day or so they've been cut....and some will have to face that very real feeling of realizing football isn't in the cards anymore.

Billingsley99 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Luck is in the past time to look forward. Some of the guys that I had not thought about how it impacts them are Ebron and Funchess. Both will be free agents and a good season for themselves could mean a bigger pay day. There have been many average or slightly above Average guys that were made by Manning or Brady etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say the same thing I've thought since last Saturday. The Eli conversation has to happen. Unfortunately though it would make all the JB is capable talk look half hearted. Ballard isn't a conventional guy. Trying to see or think of options he's looking at. Bridgewater maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they will trade for Eli but the one thing I keep thinking is how would Eli do with an offensive line, the Colts offensive weapons, and Reich calling the plays? I think he would be improved from the last year or two in NY. Is that still worse than Brissett? It’s possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 It's official. Colts bring in Brian Hoyer. I like this move for short and long. Hoyer seems to be a team guy so he'll fit in the locker room. He's been a back up before and to me he's always been a smart player. Frank Reich has obviously had success with backup qb's before (Foles/Philly). Don't throw the towel in yet Colts fans. Luck's decision didn't leave many options. Short of a huge trade (which isn't Ballard's style) this is about as good as you expect 72 hours before season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Colts give Jacoby an extension. 2 years...I think I read $20M guaranteed. Actually not a bad move at all. The money isn't important. Colts I think have $133 Million in Cap Space next year. This gives the kid and team a vote of confidence....while also having a vet like Hoyer there to help him. I think Ballard made the best of a tough situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty frugal guy by nature so I like this a lot. Josh Rosen was a 1st round guy who after a year in Arizona and now as a backup in Miami will have earned at least $10-$15 more. JB has the benefit of being mentored as a kid by Parcells....in Patriots locker room and now the Colts with Luck. To me...again each situation is different but this is as good as you could draw up. If he hits...you have him locked up. If not the Colts can target 2021 free agents and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
