Again I believe it wouldn’t have mattered who was playing Oline with that guy.

He was a gun slinger that never gave up on a play he held the ball longer knowing he was gonna take hits but knowing that’s what it took to make the play.

No way to protect a guy that throws an Interception and then turns into John Lynch

He had bad luck with a couple of shoulder injuries where the pain stuck with him for 3 years (first injured his shoulder in 2015, didn't throw pain free again until 2018). Had that not happened, I think he's still in the NFL today.

And again I’ve said it a few times here but you gotta mention the game he led the team to a win vs the Manning led broncos and was pissing blood afterwards

As it turned out, he was playing in that game with a lacerated kidney.

But unfortunately, he didn’t have the fire, the zeal, the innate drive to compete and succeed that are the mark of greatness.

Bullfuckingshit, he had that in spades, so much so that he put the team ahead of himself to the detriment of his own mental health, which was eventually the thing that drove him to retire.

Yep, so much so that he said to himself;

"Hey self, ya know what, fuck those other 52 dudes wearing the shoe, not my problem if the team is fucked because of this decision, nah, I'm just gonna go read some books and shit for a while in Europe, fuck them dudes, they still got a couple weeks to figure this shit out, I don't owe them anything"....

Yeah man, totally team invested guy, all the fucking way man, all the fucking way!

FUCK THAT QUITTER!

He didn’t owe them anything

Quitting while you’re ahead isn’t the same as quitting

You'd have rather had a QB who had absolutely no mental investment in the game going out and starting at QB? Do you have any idea how much of a disaster that would've been? If he by some miracle avoided a major injury, idiots like you would've been calling for him to be benched by the end of the second game. Maybe then you'd've been okay with him retiring?

I wish it had been longer, but Andrew Luck created some great memories for us Colts fans in his seven years as the Colts starting QB. There's no reason to hate him, especially not 5 years later. Only a petty, spiteful fool would still be saying things like "FUCK THAT QUITTER!" at this point.
