Luck reminds me a lot of when Gronk opened up about his constant pain and seeing this huge, bright, happy man be brought to the verge of tears really opened my eyes to how much they can really be suffering physically. Luck chose himself and I respect him for that
I know! Some things are bigger than the game. I am a big Colts homer (I am wearing my Colts shirt as I type this, coincidentally), but even if every year would have been a ring, I wouldn't trade it for the apparent happiness he's had ever since. I remain a huge Luck fan, and I couldn't be happier for him.
@@thatonewriter8043 it’s sad that he had to retire so young tho. As a guy who lives in constant pain (due to small issues I’ve gained through careless actions, my old job and genetics), I’d give almost anything to have a time where my knees don’t feel tender. Or where my back is giving out on me. I’m only 22 and seeing how much pain and abuse Luck went through because they didn’t build an O-Line, I not only understand but empathize. At the end, I’m glad he chose himself but sad to see him leave like that.
@@thewriter8762 He didn't *have* to retire that young. He was essentially at a crossroads at that point. The groundwork was there that he could just throw everything at rehab like Peyton Manning, try to come back even better, and chase his first real shot at a ring. But he had been in that cycle for most of his career, and Peyton's last season was still fairly fresh in everyone's minds, and he decided to retire before his entire life was rehab and pain management. It was the right call, I think. Frankly, I'm upset with Tom Brady for not doing the same, because it's approaching the point of recklessness for him to keep pushing his luck on that with his repeated knee injuries.
@@sheddy22 Andrew Luck played under the worst era of Jim Irsay's ownership. Not a single Colts fan will fight you on that. But Bill Polian built rosters that Peyton Manning was able to lead to two Super Bowls in 13 years and the playoffs almost every year. That's incredible efficiency. The Patriots dynasty has ruined our appreciation for how hard it is to even get to a championship, let alone win one.
"Andrew Luck owes nothing to you, me, football, or anyone but himself and his loved ones." Preach. I don't care how much he could have given football or my favorite team. I will always be glad that life after football could give him so much. He seems like a genuinely good dude.
Having had a torn oblique not too long ago as my only major injury so far, I don’t blame Luck for retiring one bit. It sucks not being able to do your regular, daily tasks without being in constant pain. Generally speaking, there is a point where you understand that money and fame isn’t everything, and that having your health and your family is the greatest thing in the world.
Especially when you already have enough wealth to take care of your family, your kids for the rest of yours and their lives, and probably their kids too.
Seeing RGIII standing next to Luck in 2021 and both of them being out of football feels really bittersweet. These 2 came up right when I really fell in love with NFL/college football. To see how their teams failed them and wasted their gifts makes me incredibly sad. On the other hand it looks like they’re happy with where they are in life and ultimately that’s all that really matters.
Andrew Luck is the epitome of what happens to a team that doesn't know how to protect or care enough about their stars. The Colts took him for granted and hoped this talent would outweigh all the not-as-talented parts of the team like the o-line. It's sad to see what happened to such a stand up guy like Luck. The Colts didn't deserve him.
I miss Luck in football, but as one UrinatingTree said “I only have one thing to say to Luck, enjoy retirement. May you succeed in any future endeavors and may your family thrive with you around”
I want him to go into high school coaching. Not high level college football or NFL football, but I want him to have a very direct impact on the lives of young men, protect them, teach them the game with his incredible mind, and show them what a man and a leader looks like
While that’s a nice thought, he owes nothing, even to them. While he would be an outstanding fit and an excellent role model, he seems happier than ever with his wife and kids.
It’s not even that they were fragile or injury-prone really-have FedEx field be actually kept in playing condition and have the Colts front office actually care about having an O-line
@Peters6221 yeah but in that 3 years if not for injuries, Kyle Shanahan wouldn’t have left that soon meaning RGIII would’ve been a 2-3x pro bowler (judging how Kyle made Matt Shaub into the second coming for a season) and likely an MVP winner just judging how those kinds of QB’s tend to have immense early success but a fast drop off. That could’ve been enough to still make him top 3 QB in that franchise history no doubt about it. He would’ve still gotten big time money too. Even if he only made it to year 4 and the suffered the catastrophic injury.
This guy is living his best life. He has nothing to prove to anybody and it's all on his own terms. Sure he would've had a long successful career if not for the injuries, but some things are bigger than football.
I'd say I'm still mad about him, not how he left, but how he was treated with the colts. I think an abusive wife would treat Luck better than what the Colts organization did to him
@@dominiqueharris1791 They never developed the O- Line until his last full season. Leadership didn't make the right choice for some set picks and free agent signing.
I feel like with Luck’s intellect in football he could probably become a really good coach. It would be cool to see him do that but whatever he does in retirement, I respect him for choosing himself over the strain the game has had on him.
He made an actual 10k IQ move. Got his bag, stayed true to himself and left the game before he got to broken down to walk away. Never been a Colts fan, but damn if I didn't respect Andrew Luck.
I love Andrew Luck... And I feel sad because he's retired. But I understand and agree with him why he walked away from football. He is a very good man.. and I hope that fans will understand. For a long time the Colts had their training camp in a college about 30 miles north of Indianapolis.The fans were invited to come and watch. Some players afterward signed autographs. And every day Andrew Luck was signing. He signed my jersey. I went as often as I could and Coach Chuck Pagano signed and was a nice man and Andrew was awesome. Just remember all his injuries. He would get well and then someone else hit him again. Broken ribs, bruised kidney. I know he played with bad injuries, The Colts fans we're blessed to have him as their QB.
As a patriots fan I always felt so bad for the guy, always seeing how bad his oline was protecting him. I always wonder how things would of been for him if he played for a competent GM.
@@memesnbeer Irsay is loyal. I think he was also too proud to admit he made the worst mistake of his entire tenure as owner. It might've also been that Irsay was the biggest mess of his life around that time, between alcoholism and (I think) cocaine. Apparently, his mistress at the time even OD'd on whatever they were taking together. His daughter had to take over the team for a time while he went to rehab, and I have no idea how empowered or knowledgeable she was to make moves like firing the GM. Those were dark days. We had Luck and Hilton against Griggson thinking he was the GM from Draft Day, Chuck Pagano's limp coaching, and Irsay's meddling (yes, while he was drunk and high so often).
When I see some ex players who can barely go from sitting to walking without pain it's refreshing to see someone who has chosen to save whatever is left of his physical health and concentrate it on his friends and family. Everybody loves Andrew Luck
I’m an Eagles fan, but when he retired I was shocked AF!!! I really wish he would of stuck around. This man was incredible and seemed like a genuine good dude. Great Video STE!!
That was very well said. As a Colts fan, I admit I was a bit upset at first when he retired. I was more upset with the coach and GM for not getting him adequate protection up front than Luck himself. But I think Andrew figured out early on that there’s much more to life than football, and he saw that he wouldn’t be able to find the right balance between career and personal life as an NFL QB. I think there’s a lesson to be learned…that winning in our work life is not nearly Ias important as relationships. I’m very glad to see he’s doing well.
He came into this league as an esteemed prospect, and he made his mark. Not only as a great football player but as a greatly respected man that no one had a bad word to say about. Unfortunately, Colts roster management didn't get him the help he needed quick enough so that when they did, the damage was already done. Football is a gruesome sport and dealing with the injuries can be absolutely horrible. So he made the decision to retire before he would cripple himself more and enjoy his life. More power to him. Personally I would say this: Andrew, it would've been a pleasure to see you have a longer career less plagued by injuries, but as we all know it didn't pan out that way. You still made your mark and earned utmost respect and appreciation by not only being a great football player, but also a great human being. Keep enjoying life after football, you earned your rest.
To this day this still hurts me as a fan of Andrew Luck, I remember watching him more than a decade ago at Stanford and he was a legit qb coming in that draft class which if im not mistaken was with RG3 and Russell Wilson. During the time he was getting screwed over by the Colts i was praying by some divine intervention my 49ers could get him because i knew for a fact we could protect with the O Line we had at the time ( This was during Kaepernick/Smith days when there was flip floping between the two and then leading up to the mediocrity that the late 2010’s 49ers). In some other parallel universe Andrew Luck has an MVP or two or three with 1 or 2 superbowl rings. Just the what if kills me, i swear to god i hate teams that waste talent like this.
If you are not completely committed to what you do, you are doing an injustice to your customers, your team, and most of all, yourself. This isn't just in the football business, this is in relationships, friendships, and every business and every aspect of life. It's not walking away, but HOW you walk away from WHO you walked with that matters. Bravo, Andrew. Sincerely, a Texans fan.
You know as a Colts fan I always had a feeling he would retire early just cause he had so many interests outside of football. Honestly at times I think he joined the NFL simply because it pays better than architecture. However I thought his retirement would come at around 35 (early for a QB these days), not 29. I am actually kind of surprised after his retirement there has not been more discussion on draft prospects as to how long they will keep playing.
Football owes this man. The tragedy is entirely on the sport. Andrew is a literal godsend and I’m so happy he is doing not just ok, but great. Football be damned. I would take a linebacker hit for that smile.
As a Colts fan I will never forget where I was and what I was doing when he announced he was retiring. Absolutely heartbreaking. I’ve never cried over football before but I did that night. I’m glad to see him doing well but I can never stop thinking about what could have been :(
I may not be a Colts fan, but I am a fan of Andrew Luck, his 2018 season hit home for me because I was having a great comeback that year in College after years of failure and unable to succeed, but like Luck I was balling out that year. Luck will always be a generational QB, definitely a QB any team should want, very lovable man and definitely the great leader of a team.
It’s always the “could’ve beens” that hurt the most. Whenever this guy took the field his team always had a chance to win. He played with an extraordinary level of excellence and could have been an all time great.
I always felt bad for him and respected his decision. And seeing him now just so happy with his life is awesome. It had to be a really tough decision to retire, but he made it and it was right for him
I feel like the Colts and Saints are almost the same kind of team at this point: great roster, good coaching staffs, good front offices, but all held back thanks to a revolving door of QBs.
As a colts fan was never mad at him for retiring just sad and depressing was more pissed at the organization for failing him but its nice to see him happy
We were blessed to watch him play as long as he did. I've never seen anything to suggest he's anything short of a great dude. Hope the best for him in all he chooses to pursue. I also hope he finds opportunities for leadership outside of football, as he has the humility and personality to do great things.
Luck basically just found happiness outside of the public eye and football, as sad as it was to see him go, I’m glad he’s enjoying life man. He’s got everything he needs I’m sure
He gave football and the colts all of him since being named a can’t miss prospect out of Stanford and he did not disappoint. Dude lived up to his hype. Even with his injury, he was rehabbing to get back to football. Wish the colts took care of him sooner. He would probably still be QB today. Those colts fan that booed him have no class
Should do a video on this insane off-season and how Many house hold names changed teams aswell as the Tom Brady return from retirement (could be a video on itself really) cause there's alot of on and off field drama surrounding it with his old coach and his family that's pretty interesting
As a Titans fan, I will always respect Luck for dropping the game and focusing on himself. I'll always be grateful for everything he has done for my franchise as well.
I’m happy for him, he seems at peace with his retirement. With that said you have to wonder what could have been with all his talent if he didn’t take all that damage throughout his career. He played recklessly and the colts also never got him an o-line.
It hurts to see him retire as a football fan but he did what was right for him. That's all that matters. I truly do miss watching him play but he's truly happy now, and I'm really happy for him!
The only one that can make a meaningful criticism is one who has gone thru the same pain he experienced those last 3 years. I imagine there are many players that would like to do the same thing, if they could just get up the courage.
i saw the broncos nearly kill this guy and he stayed on the field to attempt a comeback. i cant even remember if he won the game or not. the level of toughness he showed was insane. i cant blame him for retirement. dude needed a chance to feel comfortable for the first time since he was a child i imagine. best of luck to him. definitely a genuine guy.
Nothing but respect for Luck. I'm sure that was a tough decision to make but his comment about being a full time dad probably says it all right there. He and his family get to live their best lives, to use a cliche line. And hey, he's not the only person in his late 20s who realized there was a totally different career/life path ahead.
It’s both! It is a tragedy that we won’t see him again. That doesn’t mean I don’t support him doing what’s best for himself. I applaud that, even if deep down, I know I’d love to see him hurl a pass deep again.
Good for him, man. I don’t blame him one bit. Dude had tens of millions of dollars and he didn’t have to do it anymore. He can just be with his kid and be comfortable.
Andrew Luck was an AWESOME QB!!! I hope he's able to return to the game. I'd love to watch him play. If he doesn't return, it will be sad. I still wish Andrew and his family the best in his retirement. Maybe, he'll take a broadcast job.
Can you imagine if Indy had Luck now, with the O-line and run game the Colts have? It's really a true tragedy. But it's ultimately about what's best for him and his family.

Luck chose himself and I respect him for that
Indeed. It’s an absolutely brutal sport.

I don't care what headspace he was in, he cheated his team and the fans.

This man is living a quiet life with millions of dollars and he's not getting hit anymore. What else could you ask for?

@@univalvefoilstrong1184 "6 year contract" Are you just as mad when teams cut players before the end of their contract?
"he cheated" Hyperbole much?
@@univalvefoilstrong1184 He likely only saw a fifth of that, if lucky. NFL players rarely ever get all of the money in their contracts
Ironic how the colts o-line became elite when it was already too late
It took him leaving to wake them up.
Maybe if they fired Grigson and hired Ballard one year earlier Luck could be playing this season.
Not irony
@Internet “Person” it was elite for that season. But it is still elite at run blocking.
As if Quenton Nelsons just grow on trees every year
Having had a torn oblique not too long ago as my only major injury so far, I don’t blame Luck for retiring one bit. It sucks not being able to do your regular, daily tasks without being in constant pain.

I absolutely love how he compliments the opposing team. It’s so rare to see that in the modern NFL. Love Luck
I've seen video of Tom Brady doing the same thing. Weird, actually.
But I get why they might do that.
Is it rare? I see plenty of players and coaches be friendly to the opposition.
Yes, back when they wore leather helmets players were required to compliment the opposing team.

Andrew is a literal godsend and I’m so happy he is doing not just ok, but great. Football be damned. I would take a linebacker hit for that smile.
As a Colts fan I will never forget where I was and what I was doing when he announced he was retiring. Absolutely heartbreaking. I’ve never cried over football before but I did that night. I’m glad to see him doing well but I can never stop thinking about what could have been :(
You probably were taking a dump In the toilet
I may not be a Colts fan, but I am a fan of Andrew Luck, his 2018 season hit home for me because I was having a great comeback that year in College after years of failure and unable to succeed, but like Luck I was balling out that year. Luck will always be a generational QB, definitely a QB any team should want, very lovable man and definitely the great leader of a team.
It’s always the “could’ve beens” that hurt the most. Whenever this guy took the field his team always had a chance to win. He played with an extraordinary level of excellence and could have been an all time great.
Nujabes in an Andrew Luck video is very fitting and touching, nice choice
I always felt bad for him and respected his decision. And seeing him now just so happy with his life is awesome. It had to be a really tough decision to retire, but he made it and it was right for him
I feel like the Colts and Saints are almost the same kind of team at this point: great roster, good coaching staffs, good front offices, but all held back thanks to a revolving door of QBs.
Wdym revolving door, Saints started Brees for years until his retirement and since then Winston has been their starter when not injured
As a colts fan was never mad at him for retiring just sad and depressing was more pissed at the organization for failing him but its nice to see him happy
Well put. Colts fan from Houston Tx.
I'm soo happy he's happy but I don't think I've ever felt pain again like I did that dreadful day..
We were blessed to watch him play as long as he did. I've never seen anything to suggest he's anything short of a great dude. Hope the best for him in all he chooses to pursue. I also hope he finds opportunities for leadership outside of football, as he has the humility and personality to do great things.
I still miss him so damn much
Luck basically just found happiness outside of the public eye and football, as sad as it was to see him go, I’m glad he’s enjoying life man. He’s got everything he needs I’m sure
Yeah man, I appreciate the hell out of Andrew luck hope the best for him and his family.
I love the sound of your voice real talk. Keep up the hard work!!!!
Two things we can agree on is that man has his health and he has a smile, that’s all we can say as fans of football we can all agree about
As a Colts fan I am happy to see Luck happy regardless of on the the field or off! No bad vibes from me! Wish Luck and his family the very best!
Love the Madlibb/Gibbs in the background. GOAT music choice.
good for him....he found his spot in life without regret.....God bless him and his family.....
I hope we all can just appreciate how much of a great guy Andrew Luck is. Humble, down to earth and, apparently a good person.
One of the genuine good guys.
He gave football and the colts all of him since being named a can’t miss prospect out of Stanford and he did not disappoint. Dude lived up to his hype. Even with his injury, he was rehabbing to get back to football. Wish the colts took care of him sooner. He would probably still be QB today. Those colts fan that booed him have no class
Should do a video on this insane off-season and how Many house hold names changed teams aswell as the Tom Brady return from retirement (could be a video on itself really) cause there's alot of on and off field drama surrounding it with his old coach and his family that's pretty interesting
I'm a Patriots fan, but Luck has always been one of my favorite players. Incredible talent, awesome personality.
As a Titans fan, I will always respect Luck for dropping the game and focusing on himself. I'll always be grateful for everything he has done for my franchise as well.
I’m happy for him, he seems at peace with his retirement. With that said you have to wonder what could have been with all his talent if he didn’t take all that damage throughout his career. He played recklessly and the colts also never got him an o-line.
I miss Andrew luck. He was fun to watch and super fun to have in fantasy football.
My all time favorite player. I have no issue that he took his self above money & fame. Nothing but respect
It hurts to see him retire as a football fan but he did what was right for him. That's all that matters. I truly do miss watching him play but he's truly happy now, and I'm really happy for him!
Nicely done, Set the Edge.
Great player...better man. I wish Him the absolute best.
LOVE U SET THE EDGE
Luck is the man. What a genuine guy. Wish nothing but the best for him
Nice…I am glad he seems at peace with his decision. I wish him the best.
The only one that can make a meaningful criticism is one who has gone thru the same pain he experienced those last 3 years. I imagine there are many players that would like to do the same thing, if they could just get up the courage.
He’s living a nice quite life out of the spotlight, has a nice family. Happy for luck.
Well done, Mr Edge. You are totally right. Luck doesn't owe us anything. I hope he finds what he's after.
I would love to see him coaching someday. His body gave up on him, but his mental sharpness still remains.
I saw Andrew luck today at the Stanford vs USC game
Love the Samurai Champloo OST in the background
What a good guy... He had a perspective on life that never cared about the masses
My guy going back to school is great to see.
Good for luck! Just a great dude enjoying his time with his family. He has money his health and can just kick back
I love this brother! Do what you gotta do!
Wow! I can only wonder what makes him go. Good Luck, Luck. You know how to handle it.
He took a different road.. much respect
i saw the broncos nearly kill this guy and he stayed on the field to attempt a comeback. i cant even remember if he won the game or not. the level of toughness he showed was insane. i cant blame him for retirement. dude needed a chance to feel comfortable for the first time since he was a child i imagine. best of luck to him. definitely a genuine guy.
amazing choice of background music
Your music choice and taste is amazing! Good video
Nothing but respect for Luck. I'm sure that was a tough decision to make but his comment about being a full time dad probably says it all right there. He and his family get to live their best lives, to use a cliche line. And hey, he's not the only person in his late 20s who realized there was a totally different career/life path ahead.
Thanks for your content 🙂
It’s both! It is a tragedy that we won’t see him again. That doesn’t mean I don’t support him doing what’s best for himself. I applaud that, even if deep down, I know I’d love to see him hurl a pass deep again.
Good for him, man. I don’t blame him one bit. Dude had tens of millions of dollars and he didn’t have to do it anymore. He can just be with his kid and be comfortable.
Andrew Luck was an AWESOME QB!!! I hope he's able to return to the game. I'd love to watch him play. If he doesn't return, it will be sad. I still wish Andrew and his family the best in his retirement. Maybe, he'll take a broadcast job.
I’ll always respect Andrew Luck.. humble and great guy wish he could’ve won a Super Bowl.
We need a Set the Edge vidoe on the rise and fall of RG3.
Much respect to Luck 🙏🏿
Can you imagine if Indy had Luck now, with the O-line and run game the Colts have? It's really a true tragedy. But it's ultimately about what's best for him and his family.
does my man have a Bandana instrumental as a background music. Goated channel and music selection
I'm not even a Colts fan and I'm sad he's not around anymore.
Good for him. He seems like a wonderful dad.
