Indianapolis Colts' Andrew Luck Retiring at age 29
This has to be one of the most abrupt and shocking retirements of all time.

Not really. Andrew is a different cat.

It took balls and conviction to retire at age 29 but nobody knows his physical and mental state better than Andrew Luck. This is a violent game and the toll it takes on players can last a lifetime after they retire from the game. From his presser he talked about injuries and surgeries that he's had to deal with for four straight seasons - missing the entire 2017 season. It has taken his love and passion for the game. I respect him for admitting that. The reaction from some Colts fans yesterday after word got out before the end of the preseason game is classless...

i'd be happy with the timing if i was a colt fan. they can tank for a minute and grab lawrence in a few years. and have ass loads of cash. andy dalton wouldn't do this because he's from texas where grown ass men are still forced to play football by their pops

Except for the fact that Indianapolis has really upgraded the talent since Luck missed two seasons ago. They were expected to be contenders. I still think they'll have a winning record with Brissett

Edit: just saw Fivethirtyeight projection dropped Indy's expected wins from 9.2 to 7.5 with Luck's retirement. They're definitely not Bengals/Dolphins bad; still a middle of the pack type team.
