Andrew Luck Retired

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Holy ****. Just got a text alert fom ESPN that he just retired. He just screwed the colts over big time. I'm sure there will be more info soon.

Tons of fantasy teams just got screwed as this is the biggest fantasy draft weekend of the year

Now with link per Schefter

I hope he liked his helmet

 

[Steel Ballin]

Yup. Scrolling across the ticker on the FL vs MIA game. The team waited too long to get him on OL. His body is battered.

never got the hype.....

I give Florio about 15 minutes before the first article demanding they sign Kaepernick

 

[SteelerFan448]

The news surrounding his rehab this offseason seemed a little off IMO. I thought he may take longer than usual to get his body healthy, but not step away.

never got the hype.....

the hype was well deserved. He was great. Problem was his team was horrible most seasons. Bad OL, no run game and only TY Hilton as a reliable target.

 

[Steel Ballin]

This news has crashed ESPN.com.

 

[Steel12]

Great QB on bad teams. don;t really blame him, guy has a ton of money and why take the beating year after year ?

My friend the other day had me pick which game I wanted to go to out of four selections. I picked the Colts game. Holy ****.

I have no problem with Luck retiring, good for him. Makes me appreciate Ben Roethlisberger even more, though.

if you got a pft link....odds are the story is already here....


and one that comes to mind is Robert Smith when he retired to go into medicine....

Thing is, they got Ben an actual O-line and have always stockpiled receivers. They didn't surround this guy with much help.

 

[Steeler]

Surprised by this, but he has had a lot of injury issues.
Should make our game against them a little easier.
It's going to be like walking around a funeral home here in Indiana.

 

[BLITZ]

maybe he just said he was real tired, misunderstood

it's all Ben's fault

Ben was still one of the most sacked guys in the league 10 years into his career. Luck was sacked 30 or more times just 3 times in his career compared to 10 for Ben. While the Steelers stockpiled receivers, Ben was a big part in making those guys so good too.

Good points. 7 year career, wow.

Dobbs to Indy???

I guess you can say the colts Luck just ran out.

 

[Steeler]

Dobbs to Indy???

I like it!

 

[SteelerFan448]

Colts fans booed Luck as he left the field tonight.

 

[slashsteel]

Dobbs to Indy???

Sure give us Ebron, we will give you Dobbs and a 6th.
