He's up there in tds for first 86 games. That's all I got.

Def a surprise to me. But he will be fine. Doesn't seem like a guy that wasted his money.

More NFL records than anyone else in league right now



Which ones? The pouting record?

But in all seriousness, his records are all because of rushing. So if you want to say he's been the best QB running the ball, then sure. But all his records have the caveat of rushing yards and rushing tds.

He holds zero passing records.

How long do the Colts own his rights if he wants to come back? Give him a year or two to heal and miss the game before we know for sure he is truly retired. If the right team calls and is set up to win big then I think it will be hard for him to say no.

I think if he stays retired he will eventually get into the HOF. By all accounts the media loves him and his stats for just 6 seasons are all time great. Guys with injury shortened careers, such as Sayers and Terrell Davis, have gotten in.

I like Luck but in no way is he a HOFer. He basically has the same stats and resume as Jeff Garcia. And it’s ridiculous to compare him to TD and Sayers. Terrell Davis was the best or at worst second best RB in football for a three year stretch. Same with Sayers. Andrew Luck never had a season when he was a top 2 QB in football. Guys like Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Big Ben, and even Matt Ryan were always better than him.

Ryan Grigson should be tarred and feathered for ruining Luck’s health and career.

Shoulda followed fellow furdie Elway's lead and refused to play for the Irsays.

With all of the incredible hype, did he come close to delivering? He definitely had his moments, but I'm not really sure how we should judge his career as a whole. Promising that was cut short? All things considered, a disappointment?


Great potential that flashed every bit of the capabilities but was cut short by a terrible franchise and his own desire to have a life outside of football.

He was an all time prospect that showed he deserved the hype but had a shortened cadre due to injury and injury mismanagement
