Title: Luck Has Run Out
Post by: Snaggletiger on August 26, 2019, 10:27:07 AM
Buzz alluded to Mr. Luck in the fantasy thread, but this guy retiring 2 weeks before the season, and at this point in his career, is mind boggling.  The only other time I just went :huh: was when Barry Sanders walked away.  The guy was about to shatter the all time rushing record and he just said, Frick it, I'm done.  No fanfare.  No long, tear filled speeches.  Just....done. 

Yeah, he's had his share of injuries, but nothing most guys don't face during their careers.  And the guy is leaving some serious cash on the table.

Andrew Luck injuries through 6 NFL seasons:
» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs
» partially torn abdomen
» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood
» at least 1 concussion
» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder
» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue this preseason.

The blessing and curse of the top-pick QB: you gettin paid (Luck has made approx $100MM) but your line/team will be trash.

He's tired of taking the beating.  I don't blame him one bit.

I don't blame him one bit, either.  If I had the ability to retire at 29 with 50 million in the bank, I'd be out the door.  I'd disappear, and the next time I posted, someone would say "Jarhead?  I thought he was dead."

Let's play a little game. Imagine Cam decides to hang up the cleats in the preseason after dealing with multiple injuries through his career. He says he wants to focus on his growing family, his business interests, and his health. The raking over the coals that man would receive would last the whole season.

Ha has made himself an unlikable character. Luck did not.

Plus, Luck doesn't dress like a giant "Artist formally known as Prince"!

Very true. 
That franchise had a very generic feel about it until Cam made it about him.

Bullshit.  He's been hit more than any QB in the league.

He's made chicken salad out of Shula's chickenshit for most of his career, but he didn't really walk into a prime spot.

I had heard this place was all about movie quotes, and you go and fail like that.  If you're a lawyer, I bet it's an uncaring kind.

Speaking of caring....or uncaring....have you heard about the Cardinals being the 2019 NL Central champs???

That's a done deal.  Just a matter of how many games they win by.

Speaking of teams in the Central, the Cubs can lick me.  My guys have gone 8-2 in their last 10 and are now 80-53.  They lost half a game to the Nationals in that stretch, partly because the Baby Bears couldn't handle their business.  Booooooo....

He looks like an Amish hobbit.  

I’d choose to look like Cam 

Also? Six is right.  Troy Aikman wouldn’t be twitter roasting the thousands of talking heads who would bash Cam as selfish and ungrateful had he done the same.
