My thought too, he's not going to play for at least two weeks, so he makes a few mistakes, this is a lost season anyway you cut it. I heard a rumor that he went to Stanford, so he just might be smart enough to pick it up sooner than you think!

Bert Jones.

Bert Jones shoulder injury in 1978 basically ruined his career and ruined the hopes of another lackluster franchise (Baltimore Colts) for years to come.

You think Irsay wants to see that scenario played out again, under his watch? That's why he's pushing Luck to take it slow and not come back until it's a virtual certainty that not only will Luck be better, but he will not suffer any setbacks or risk of re-injury.

I also do believe that Irsay IS keeping Pags at arms length away from Luck, so that Pags won't be trying to convince Luck to come back too soon.

Do I believe that Pags has not seen Luck throw? Of course not. In fact I believe that he's seen enough that he thinks Luck could come back now.

But Irsay is pulling the strings, and you can see the frustration from Pags because of it. He knows that he can't coach this team to save his job without Luck.

I would keep Luck away from Pags, too. The guy has no idea on how to handle professional athletes with or without injuries.

He's officially ruled out for week one. Just got the alert.

That will be a LOSS.

I see yet another 0-2 start.

Good. I don't care if doesn't play a single game. I do not want clappy to fuck this kid up any more than he is now.

Any word on if Luck practiced today?

Fully deserved, 100%! I love this team but I am rapidly losing my cool with the way this whole organization operates. Jim needs to step aside ASAP and let his daughter get this thing turned around- and that starts with Choppy being sent packing. Good man, probably another in a long list of good coordinators who make bad HC's, miserable head coach incapable of executing the broad role bestowed upon him.

And what did they do wrong

Well, for one by not creating an O-line that can protect their franchise QB, and so Luck has been often injured, but then with all the secrecy with what's actually going on with Luck and his recovery and timetable to return.

Also, they were blasting Pagano and his comment that he hasn't seen Luck throw a football yet, and how he is staying in his lane. Mentioned he's the freaking head coach, everything is in his lane.

Next man up.

Something something something....tree will eventually fall.
