A top flight player who got overly frustrated due to circumstances. Things did appear to be looking up for Luck, however. The injuries have to be taxing on the soul. .

Bills fans ripped Davis, an older veteran who wasn't a huge part of a rebuilding team, for retiring during halftime of a game because he just didnt feel like he could do it anymore. These fans just had a similar thing happen to them but with their franchise QB who was the star of their offence and decided that 2 weeks before the season opener, he just doesn't feel like he wants to play anymore.

Clearly Vonte Davis quitting after playing one half of football for a franchise and quitting (and getting ridiculed across the country for doing so) is comparable to a guy that had some serious injuries and being a hell of a player getting boo’d off the field after 7 years with the same organization.

Your right, an older vet who barely played for the team and wasnt a huge part of the team walking away is something to be mad about compared to your franchise QB and the cornerstone of your offence deciding right before the season starts to shock everyone and walk away before turning 30.

Reich would bring out too much of his best Nah, hes not that good, would probably be an average QB if he had to be the starter. He was practically out of the league when we picked him up. you almost always get more compensation for a QB than they worth. We probably could get two firsts for him.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think Brisset is pretty good but the timing of this stinks for the colts. They are kind of stuck now. If this happened before the draft they would have been in good shape. Oh well, maybe it’s karma for them tanking to get Luck in the first place.

Ok, so 2 firsts for an average QB. The same average QB that put up a 40 burger in his only start against the Jets? That was with a bad O line and below par receivers. You really want to give that to Reich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 They could have drafted Josh Allen instead of Nelson last year.

BillsFan4 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Man, what could have been with Luck... He started out his career looking like the next great QB. It’s a shame things didn’t work out differently. I feel like the Colts kind of ruined him. They put little talent around him for years. He took huge beatings behind that o line and sustained numerous injuries. The Colts more/less had him play with a bad shoulder until it was just torn to shreds. And the whole process made Luck kind of just check out mentally. I’m not saying Luck is blameless or anything, though. Id say that I feel bad for Colts fans (and I do, a bit), but they went from Peyton Manning right to Andrew Luck so there are a lot of Colts fans who don’t really know what it’s like not to have a great QB (even if luck’s career was derailed by injury). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
