Originally posted by KleShreen View PostWow. Andrew Luck has told the Colts he's retiring. Done immediately.
Sad that his career went the way it did with all the injuries and overall he'll likely be considered a bust for what he was payed. He has the arm, the smarts, but what was missing?

They were talking about this on the Seattle pregame show tonight. They were trying to think back to the last time a player of this stature retired in his prime and concluded Barry Sanders was the closest they could come up with, although it made more sense to them.

Absolutely not a bust. He was in the league for 7 seasons, played 6 of them, made the playoffs 4 times, went to a conference title game with nothing around him, and put up numbers that were among the best in football history for any QB through six years. I think he was without a doubt worth the #1 pick, and played even better than expected for the hype he came in with. Just battled injuries and decided it wasn't worth it anymore. Guy has made almost 100 million dollars in his career, and didn't like being constantly in pain. I don't blame him. I think Colts fans will eventually come to their senses and realize he's the 2nd best QB in franchise history and they got more than enough out of him. Yea, bad timing, but he wasn't being expected to play much this year, anyway, after all the injury stuff happening all off-season.
I meant with more how short his career was and not being in the playoffs almost every year like Manning that they expected. The number 2 pick was a definite bust that year in RGIII, but you also consider Russel Wilson was in it and how he's missed 1 playoffs, been to 2 Super Bowls, and won one against Manning at that. When you compare, he wasn't the best QB in that draft.
The QB that I think has reached expectations in that draft is Cousins, middle of the pack starter. I just think Luck hasn't lived up to the expectations that everyone in the media had of him as the #1 pick.

Kind of a dick move to do it now and not during the off season so the Colts could plan....

Considering the extreme hype that Luck had coming out of college, I would label him as a bust. He was supposed to be the second coming.Roar Lions, Charge On Chargers, Roll Tide Roll!!!!!

I decided to look up a list of #1 pick QB's and back 15 years the worst was likely Jemarcus Russel. Luck reminds me more of Sam Bradford with all the injuries, but I don't remember Bradford having all the hype of Luck.
