Luck SUCKS for doing this!
"Says he is mentally wore down"
What a little girl😥
Put on your "Big Boy Panties" and get back on the line!!!!!!
ruined by the colts !
Cam Neely was forced to retire from the same condition , the colts organization is so awful I blame them for Cam Neely too !!!!
Surfeit of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow I think he’ll be able to make his rent payment.

I would hate to be the guy who invested a fortune in his cards.
Bring back Peyton.
He is 10 times the quarterback Andrew is or was.
I never thought he was that great anyway. This just shows he hasn't got what it takes to play NFL Football.
I just can't bring myself to collect modern players. This situation is just one reason. Made a mistake with Mark Prior and definitely won't happen again. Just can't believe the prices for players that are just rookies or haven't even played a pro game. Throwing $20-30K for a hyped up beginner is just insane.
Luck was great when he played and was healthy. If you say otherwise you obviously didn’t watch him play. The guy has had enough injuries at a young age though that I don’t blame him for hanging up the cleats. He just doesn’t want to be a vegetable by age 40. Good for him.

Would have been nice to stock up on Tom Brady stuff instead when he was a nobody coming out of college.
Peyton was rushed out the door for this guy lol

In 6 seasons he tore cartilage in 2 ribs, partially tore his abdomen, lacerated a kidney, had atleast 1 concussion, tore his labrum in his throwing shoulder, and has had calf and ankle issues.
Dang some of you guys are hardcore for calling the guy out for retiring.

What team mates would want to play with a "Quitter"?
He Says "he is mentally wore down"
Doesn't say is is quitting because of injuries. I think he owes more than this to his teammates, coaches and yes his owner.
Yeah he is mentally wore down from his body falling apart at age 29. It’s not that hard to figure out.

The next Johnny Unitas never was.
NFL is toast anyway so no great consequence.
I remember Brady at Michigan......and he wasn't a nobody.
He would get alot more respect if he said he was retiring due to injuries but he didn't say that. He is done.
But you are thinking of Brady Hoke.
Luck got screwed over by the Colts a few years ago so they deserve it. He is also a complete pussy which doesn’t help the situation at all
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Luck won nothing of importance.
Amazing he was the 199th overall pick in the 6th round. Pretty sure he was not on many anyone's radar in card collecting. Played one game as a rookie and two the next season. After that,boom!
And forget about his cards, I remember them being sold in bargain bins at card shows back in 2000. Freaking awful missing the boat on that lol 😂
i highly recommend being completely trashed when an unexpected retirement goes down
soooo trippy
Maybe he just wants to settle down and become a plumber.
He still will have to go thru rehab. The way I understood from his press conference he will be doing it at the Colts complex. The right way to do this would have been to gone thru rehab,,,,,,, don't push it take however long it takes, all season if necessary. At some point Luck and his doctors will know for sure if he will heal or not.
If he heals and feels good he might have changed his mind and want to play again. The way he has done it he will forever be remembered as a quitter and just another guy who might have been,,,,,,,,,
I think he owed the Team this much.
I am a COLTS Fan and WAS a Luck Fan,,,,,,,, he has dissappointed me greatly,,,,,,,,
Well, I'm stunned.
You quit a sandwhich with a hair on it, you don't quit on your team.
Glad I never bought his card

Seriously he has to quit. This is the Cam Neely thing he has , weird bone chunks are growing in his muscle tissue. I'll forgive you clowns that weren't B';s fans at the time. It went on for years , he was missing huge chunks of time , playing every other game for a while , not practicing .
You can not do that as an NFL QB , the team can't switch QB every game , the team plays one game a week and the QB isn't just a guy that can take a quarter or a series off to rest.
It's ovah
He's very rich and tired of being injured. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Cards that were selling for several thousand days later selling for several hundred.....OUCH
I can't wait to see what happens to the auctions some CLOWNS had that were overpricing his stuff before this happened "waiting for that 1 sucker/desperate collector". Good luck now.
Junior Seau, Dave Duerson, Jim McMahon, Jim Tyrer, Mike Webster, Frank Gifford, Ken Stabler, and Nick Buoniconti are just a few of the men who sacrificed so much, to the detriment of their lives, and the lives of their families. I applaud Andrew Luck for deciding what was best for himself and his family.

We shall see, but considering the money he has and the tone of that press conference, I'd say the chances of Luck ever coming back are zero.
