If you like your Quarterback, you can keep your Quarterback.
Oop, different era...
I used to have a high opinion of Luck. Not so much now. If he wants to retire, retire. I get it. Retiring before the start of the regular season and leaving the rest of your team holding the bag..... not to mention all the fans expecting big things this season, now disappointed? Dick move.
A real dick move is bashing a guy for retiring before all the facts are known. Maybe doctors told him his current injury will never fully heal. Maybe they told him one more hit to the head will be the beginning of the end. Maybe Irsay screwed him over somehow. I'll reserve judgement until more information is given.
Pretty much unless there is more to this latest injury than we are aware.

Kinda like when your butch aunt who has never married, comes out as gay.
Barry Sanders move.
The timing of his retirement certainly doesn't help the Colts, but how can you bash the guy? If his current injury happened early in the offseason, and it's not getting much better, how can you blame the guy for throwing up his hands and saying, "I've had enough", especially with his health history? If someone feels like they just have to be pissed off, get pissed off at Irasy, Pagano, and Grigson. They're the ones that damn near got the guy killed early on in his career.
Plus, Luck played to contact. From day 1 he told everyone he would put himself in that position. Unfortunately, much like Bob Sanders, it is fun to watch, but you're risking your longevity.The timing of his retirement certainly doesn't help the Colts, but how can you bash the guy?

The timing is the only reason I'm bashing him. I don't fault him for his reasons, I fault him for leaving his teammates holding the ball. And sure there might be other factors we don't know about, and that may change my opinion, but I'm just speaking on what we know.
Unless he retired 10 years from now, there is no good timing. Would you have rather him done it next year when Brissett probably would’ve been gone? Any time he could’ve picked would’ve been perceived as bad timing.
