Who do want Ballard to go after in a trade, FA or draft? QB ONLY thread

[Oldcolt]

That we have a full page of Luck shit shows how screwed we truly are. There are no good options, I just hope Ballard can do some magic.

Show’s how Luck really screwed the Colts, going into year 3 post Luck, and no clue about who the next QB will be. If I’m not mistaken, every AFC playoff QB this year was a first round pick

It always amazes me how when people say luck screwed the Colts. He managed to get out of the game with his health. He suffered major organ damage in a game. Something that could’ve cost him his life.

Andrew luck didn’t screw the Colts or Colts fans of one single thing. Quite frankly he’s probably lucky he got out with his life.

He knew what he signed up for, I'm tired of people giving him an out for this.

I'm not judging him for walking away. Objectively it's smart. He's made generational wealth; Why continue? He does not get a pass for hustling everyone, even if it wasn't intentional, on who he was.

Clearly he did not know he was incapable of handling the burdens as they relate to the sport. I thought I was invincible when I was a kid too.

I MAINTAIN - Manning broke his fucking neck and won a superbowl, and we sent him packing because this dude sold us on something he was not able to provide. If he was as passionate about the job as Manning, Brady, Brees, and every other generational quarterback he was supposed to be like, he would not have walked away from the team when it was finally ready to make deep playoff runs.

So he should risk his health to keep you happy. Ok

It's "amazing" that other fans have a different opinion about Luck than you do. Alrighty then.

So I’m not allowed to have my opinion? I’m not looking at this from the point of winning Super Bowl’s, it’s about him as a person.

Its a game. He didn’t desert his post in the military. He didn’t steal money out of your pocket. He suffered an internal injury when he got buggy whipped down at the Denver game and could’ve lost his life. And that’s not why he quit. He’s been rehabbing his leg for two straight years and it just wasn’t responding.

His body failed him.

Was he supposed to die out there for you fans?

If Luck had retired with the same timing as AC or Rivers then there would be a lot less hard feelings, but with him retiring 1 week before the season starts it's hard to overlook thoughts that he screwed the Colts and quit on him teammates (and on a possible SB contending team).

Also, where'd you get the rehabbing his ankle for 2 years from? Luck wasn't listed on the injury report for the entire 2018 season.

I believe he wanted to retire right after the loss in KC, strongly believe he was coaxed into return when he didn’t wanna play anymore and after going thru the motion and all the bs charades he finally said he couldn’t do it

He gave everything he had I have no Ill will towards him. We could’ve had a QB by now I believe they were delaying the inevitable in hopes Luck came back. We had many options and we went with Rivers. We’ll get our QB hell it may be Brissett. I’d prefer one on a rookie contract
