    Perhaps if he was seriously thinking about retiring he could've done it way sooner prior to that season. His timing was absolutely pathetic right after the Colts final preseason game? He left the team literally hanging. I'd have booed him too that final preseason game suffice to say!

    He also retired a few weeks after signing a $24.8 mil deal that the Colts let him keep even thought they could have recouped, but chose not to. All total he made about $97 mil while in Indy.

Having a good quarterback in the NFL being a quarterback driven league a team becomes a serious contender minus the few pieces.

    As a long time Colts fan I was so excited for Luck to be our new QB and the future of our franchise. But the way we neglected the offense line and him taking hit after hit game after game was just brutal. Ever year I hoped we'd draft some players for the offensive line but it just never happened.. It's an absolute shame what happened with Luck and it's 100% the fault of the Colts management.

He literally gave them the best opportunity to rebuild and they wasted it. Drafting a 1 overall doesn't mean you sacrificed your future, he covered a shit ton of glaring holes on their shitty team but they refused to get him actual protection or talent around him. Andrew Luck and the colts are now the case study on how poorly mismanaged that team was.

    Disrespect is nothing new to the Colts organization. R. Irsay thumbed his nose at the people of the great city of Baltimore who had supported the team for decades through good seasons and bad by moving them to Indianapolis during the night. & Indy's power elite was just as culpable for accepting the team. I lived in Indy for many years and NEVER rooted for them. Found it hilarious that they were so bad during some of the early seasons in the Hoosier state that Colts came to stand for "Count On Losing This Sunday" ROFLMAO To this day, my favorite team is whoever is playing the Colts.

    The fans booed him because he quit on the team at the beginning of the season. If he had quit during the off season there would have been no animosity. Luck was one of the least sacked quarterbacks during his last season. Corner-back Vontae Davis who quit during the season because his skills had greatly diminished was vehemently criticized by sportscasters and fans across the nation.

    As someone who has had at least 13 concussions, including surviving 3 IEDs & a RPG that permanently disabled me in Afghanistan I can tell you repeatedly having hits to the head & trauma can destroy your life . I was a prisoner of my own home for almost 7 years after the RPG , unable to even drive . Then we moved to Branson Mo and I began fishing & started to emerge from A dark hole . Then in a span of 6 weeks I was involved in 2 bad car accidents suffering 2 more concussions & I’m right back where I was . Going to therapy 4/5 times a week because of other’s negligence. I don’t know what the future holds for me but I’m going to do my best to live whatever life I have left to the fullest . Nothing in this life is guaranteed I learned that long ago , but taking unnecessary risks when you already have had tremendous trauma to your head is a no win situation.

    Not many pro athletes with his potential are brave enough to say "fuck this shit I'm out" in their prime, but I'm glad he was smart enough to do so and prioritized his health over fame. Also helps he wisely spent/invested the money he did make while playing.

    I am Hooser. I just started getting into football. I knew about Andrew Luck and watched him play growing up but I never knew why he retired. I did research and discovered the tragedy that this man endured for the people who didn’t care about him. Anthony Richardson won’t be the same case because he doesn’t have the stress and expectations as much as Luck did. Plus I don’t think AR is willing to fight through injuries for the team. I don’t think Lucks story should ever be forgotten. This was the worst thing people can do to one man, trying to fight for a team. The fans booing at him for essentially saving himself from more heartbreak really makes me hate the fellow fans around me. However…. I think IF (not should have) he had decided to stay with the Colts he would’ve prospered. The O line was good and our O line now is pretty solid. He would’ve had incredible offensive weapons at his disposal. I think the words in this video ring true. Luck is the biggest “What if?” In NFL history

    Luck did the right thing by retiring . He played football since he was a child . All that contact and hits takes a toll on a player . And being a qb all his life takes a toll on your arm . If he played longer he could have been seriously physically and neurologically damaged permanently, like for example Steelers 19 year center Mike Webster, RB Earl Campbell and others . Brett Favre went as far as telling kids don't play football if you like other sports , and for your life long recreation, and thinking ability, and for your family, friends and your own sakes

    In my opinion, if you wanna build a championship team, it doesn't start with the QB. It starts with a solid offensive line. Then, only then you find your QB, build the playbook around him. Then build receivers around him. Without a solid O-line, even HoF QBs would fail.
