fishman 305 No kidding. I only played high school football and park football and I had 2 surgeries and a torn labrum in my shoulder the surgery couldn’t fix. I’m 26 and I have chronic shoulder pain. I can only imagine what college players are enduring who were about to get drafted but didn’t because of injury. I Atleast never had the hope of playing nfl. I just did it for fun.
@@maxespinosa02 Same here.. I dislocated both shoulders in high school and was never ever able to throw a baseball the same after that.. I'm 31 and they still give me problems to this day.. I can't sleep on one side for long without switching.. It's not worth it
Hope my Texans are looking at their afc south neighbors and going, you know what we should put as much protection around Watson as we can, otherwise we’ll have another Luck situation
Titans fan here, but still say the same. Every team should spend at least a 3rd round pick on an O-lineman every year. 5 positions with a 4 or 5 year contract designed to protect your most valuable asset. Even it you got a really good line, replacing them backups is just as important.
@Jihad Da God in time, you may be right. How long will he last behind a bad o line though? Problem is, not every team is gonna have "THE BEST" o line. But you gotta put something solid in front of Watson, at least make the attempt, or that man will be having a press conference that looks & sounds like Andrew Luck's.
This is why I respect Eli and the fact that he’s never missed a snap. Playing without an offensive line can ruin your entire career. The Colts ruined Andrew Luck because they failed to give him an average offensive line
If Russell Wilson or Cam Newton retired early - Uncle Ruckus Whitlock would’ve been shouting from the rooftops about how they were “soft”, not “about that life” - and “this is why players should not get guaranteed contracts”.
Luck wore down mentally. Situations like this make me respect dudes like Frank Gore, Garrison Hearst, and Derrick Rose more for grinding through "career ending" injuries
@@Fernando_616 if u had said Willis Mcgahie cuse me if I spelled his name wrong but he himself had a career ending injury in the Nat'l Championship game against Ohio State and he willed himself back and got drafted and had a decent career!!!! Now that's a conversation to have with 🤔
With all the rule changes people still don't understand the pounding football players take..I played D3 football as a WR and knew I was never good enough to the the pros..I've been injured(broken ankle,torn acl) and the darkness you go through during rehab can't be explained..I don't blame Andrew Luck for hanging it up at all
Logan Murdock I don’t blame any pro athlete for knowing when it’s time to walk way. We have a bad habit in this country of eating our young. We chew them up and spit them out at a crazy rate. So Luck has decided that he doesn’t want to be a part of it anymore? Good for him and any player that makes the same decision. I dare anyone critical of his decision to go to work with a lacerated kidney. That’s ONE of the injuries he had.
Because it just happen a day and a half ago thats why......when ever its a boy "Lets move on" when its a black QB lets talk about the same topic for 3 years......dude kick rocks
Barry Sanders and Megatron didn't retire because of injury. They retired because they stopped having fun their teams had no chance to make it to the promise land aka Super Bowl.
Debo what you said. True story Oh for clarification, I'm agreeing w/ the part after the injury statement. Bc I'm sure Barry Sanders was beaten after all the years he played.
And actually no. Statement from Johnson And it came quite the cost. As Johnson revealed the season after he retired, the physical toll of professional football played a role in his early departure from the NFL, saying: "I got stuff that's going to hurt for the rest of my life."
I pray that this doesn’t happen to D Watson.(because of the fickleness of football)- because the team ain’t draft no protection before the 4th round during his first 4 years!!
The punishment he took that game against the Broncos was inhumane . He took a lot of punishment, probably the most a QB has got the last years. More punishment than Cam Newton who as a movile QB Is subject to that punishment.
That everyday but game day stuff starts in high school bro especially after 4-5 years of pop warner. Shoot half my friends spent half their life playin football before we graduated
Andrew Luck retired because he could no longer be Andrew Luck. I waited for him to explain this statement before I commented. I waited for no reason at all. That was a bad bad bad all time take. Then he went on to say he doesn't have the same fast ball. SMH! Dude he threw for nearly 5k yards and 40+ TDs last year. What is he talking about he can't be Andrew Luck anymore? I would understand mentally, but physically I don't think he's diminished.
Whitlock has no credibility!! I never heard a Sports analyst that was so one sided towards the Lakers , whatever the topic, whatever the case may be in regards to the Lakers Whitlock always has something negative to say about the lakes. So how can I take his opinions serious .
@@noelliastarr5853RGIII got hurt during his MVP season over luck got scolded for not sliding and attitude this guy retires at 29 after 50 mill bucks it's I understand because of injury football is punishment GTFOH
I like how they make it seem like every football player gets guaranteed contracts and money like Luck. For most player 15 years from now the NFL won’t be worth it.
I'm happy for him that he got to keep the money and if he feels it's time it's time, but I do hope he comes back in another year of rest/recovery and balls out a bit more. I was hoping to see Luck vs Mahomes a few more times. He had a lot of potential, but those first few years of no line really hurt him in the long term. He finally has a team this year and he just can't stay healthy, just a shame and bad timing.
I agreed with you Marcellus, when your ability is not the same anymore before the fans ridiculous you with the media,and then you don't want look bad and finish your career badly.i understand Andrew luck , it's not about football ,,but himself first.
I'm going to be honest, Will Cain is my favorite tv sports guy, but this show is the most real out of any show in the history of sports show. Luck is a cool dude man. Cool dude.
Luck QUIT end of story. Less to do with injuries, more to do with he just got TIRED of playing after $100M+. Rumors he wanted 3 wks off to go to Hawaii to *recover* -team said NO. Indy front office LIED multiple times to fan base sayin Luck will play (back in 2017), and NOW when they knew FULLY he had no intention, weeks probably months prior as far back as March. The $20M bonus they let him keep (hush money), have him stick around sell season tickets then drop the bomb just prior to reg season. *Truth* will come out later.
he had one of the worst O lines in the league, if not THEE worst! And management didn't seem to be doing anything about it. From a health standpoint, if he felt he could no longer do his job; who are we to question that? He's the one on the field, not us...
It’s good because if this was 20 years ago, Luck would be a dead man because of both medicine being limited and old man mentality to stay on the field.
I cannot believe that someone who keeps playing competitive football, from grade school to professional football, honestly believes that they will come out physically or psychologically unscathed, much less that they will come out healthier after their playing days are done. Of course, you will be deteriorating over time. Simple getting older degrades your body and mind. Not accepting that reality and not adjusting to your changing physical and mental states has more to do with arrogance and an unexamined ego. In spite of injuries, Luck is still a high quality QB talent, but IF he actually believed that his injury-adjusted current and future levels of talents were not good enough, as Wiley and Brooks suggest, then Luck's decision is neither courageous nor does it reflect humility, and instead, Luck's decision reflects an unchecked pride along with a lower tolerance threshold for pain and sacrifice, and an unwillingness to bear the costs, which includes recurrent pain, associated with that sacrifice. Aside from poor OLs, Luck and others who play that aggressive (gambler's) style of football should also realize the consequences of not avoiding contact. Too bad Floyd Mayweather did not train Luck, Newton, and others, on the art of avoiding unnecessary violent contact.
No one who has NEVER played at the NFL level of football will ever understand how much of a grind it is. The punishment takes a toll on the body. I wish Andrew Luck well in retirement. No shame in getting out of the game before it breaks you down physically and mentally.
Exactly he won and he quit! Enough said! God bless and hope he gets help...on the other side I’m feel for my colts fans! I understand your instant emotions! Tough place to be to see your Franchise qb literally walk off the field in front of you for the last time!
#NFL team cut players all the time for salary cap concerns but #TheColts gave #LUCK a $20M+ parting gift,,,, When Peyton left the colts he was supposed to wait til after the season ticket sales deadline but he refused, seems like Andrew (Jesus) Luck was more cooperative and got handsomely rewarded #SpeakForYourself #FS1
Marcellus killed it with finally talking about the misdiagnosed injuries that moved during his career!!! Idk who the medical staff is but I’d like to apply,...lacerated kidney-abdominal strain-
right on marcellus. you said it - (1) rehab is grueling; (2) football hits back. You need to get what you can get from the game. But you guys ignored the elephant in the room. You all know that. You need to devise "how" the game is to change.
That was the excuse Kwahi Leonard used, but the truth was he wanted out so he can go to LA (the bigger market) and make more money for his uncle. He quit on his team. Now he may has lucked out with winning and NBA title in TO, but that doesn’t take away his low character. He did fake an injury. He did lie.
That’s exactly it, they almost said it during their press conference ((front office) and the worst part is that the owner (pill popping animal ) still sounds like he’s saying that he would think about it and change his mind, because of the money he is leaving!
Andrew should have publicly said that idiot Ryan Grigson doesn't know how to put an offensive line together and I forced to take a beating for years before I got Chris Ballard as my general manager who put together a better offensive line in his first year than Ryan did during his time as general manager.
How is it better???? Vontae Davis at least mad an effort Luck didnt even play dude.....man most you white boys have a different energy when its a black player....Fact sand know your not black....your a small D!CK troll using a fake black person account.......dude its 2019 we all,know ya use fake accounts.
Many people seem to count like that lol. If I make a hundred thousand dollars this year, but live in Tokyo, go out a lot, pay taxes normally, I might end up with 20-25 thousand saved in the end, which is way of course way lower than 100.
Isn't it kinda funny how pretty much every ex player has lucks back and understands why he retired and only these analysts who never played are saying something about how he shouldn't have stopped so early
Vontae Davis could have easily told the team he couldn't do it anymore and stay to support them. He didn't do any of that, he left at half time and didn't even tell them
NAW I GUARANTEE HE ALREASY DONE TOLD THEM MONTHS AN MONTHS AGO BUT I WOULD BET MONEY THEY TOLD HIM TO SAY NOTHIN UNTIL THEY SOLD ALL THERE SEASON TICKET PASSES!!!!
I think there's more to the story and that the time line is totally off. I feel even more worried for the guy because of his mysterious injury. The fact that the backup was playing with the 1s for so long shows they had some indication that at least his health was in a serious gray area. My theory is that the truth hit them all in the past couple weeks and we're just watching an accelerated downfall. This injury must be serious for so many people to be stumped. We know of a bunch of injuries but he's probably had a lot more than we know and with him playing injured I can see why his body might not have been able to heal properly. I feel for the guy. I'm glad he called it quits instead of becoming one of those guys who shoot up and short change their teammates. I get the timing thing but I think it must have hit the fan so fast that they decided to rush it before the season starts. Better he retire two weeks prior than 2 weeks in.
Money doesnt buy everything. No new hands, feet, ribs, spine, head (brain), cartilage. Luck and plenty more of these current players will no doubt deal with arthritis as they age.
Most people and I mean most (99%) just don't get it. YOU really don't. Look, Luck can make his decision and good for him but the bigger issue isn't really dealt with on this decision.Luck knew what he was getting into. He was the overall #1 pick. He was the pick of the franchise. Even Luck will tell you he was well aware who he was replacing. He was paid franchise money to lead the franchise to a title. He was their guy for 15-20 years. Things aren't always easy and don't go according to plan.Luck had an obligation to do everything in his power to succeed. He wasn't a 5th round draft pick or backup rb or free agent. Luck and his place in the organization isn't like the typical guard or center on a team. Why do you think these organizations pay so much money to the qb? It's the passing era. You need a qb which is why these teams risk a lot to get their guy.Luck was their guy but he put personal considerations first even though he literally signed on to do more than what he did which was play the game through pain. It's not easy being a NFL qb when things don't always go right. On a side note, teams are probably going to draft qb's who aren't that well rounded and sophisticated because when they draft a guy they want 100% football.
I’m happy for Andrew Luck that he walked away when he could. For example:boxers never leave until they have a speech impediment. Awesome, a 29 year old multimillionaire! Fantastic
if the NFL was smart, and they are not, they would ask andrew to take a year off then get him in the front office as an executive doing something...the NFL needs luck for his intellect, integrity, and experience. Vonte Davis is the perfect example of what NOT to do...you do it BEFORE the season starts, not at the alter! Vonta wasn't a QB...this is all different for a starting, franchise QB...you can lose a wide out or d back, not a starting QB...you dont get that, you dont get pro football.
It's interesting to see how apologetic and understanding they are regarding Andrew Luck. Meanwhile, they repeatedly mock and scorn Colin Kaepernick. If the two players switched roles, I doubt they would be so supportive of Luck's decision.

He retires in the middle of a game tho if he waites til after to do that then cool
You seen no one responded to his comment. Double standards
@Tony Black exactly big difference each team carry at least 4 CB's

Not always but close
Wiley is generally excellent. Totally wrong about Kaepernick. But usually excellent.
Y'all don't have a problem with Andrew Luck but y'all had a problem with Vontae Davis. Thanks Mr Wiley
Didn’t Luck already explain why he retired from the nfl....so why is this a topic?
King Luke because it’s the perfect way to waste air time before the season. Won’t matter in two weeks
Because it's debate show airing the first day after the retirement and they hadn't had a chance to discuss it yet?

why is it ok for teams to cut players with no notice but its not ok for a player to retire with no notice (assuming he didnt give them forewarning)?
I have a torn knee it’s affected my whole life imagine being in the nfl and dealing with pain ..
I ain't hear this much excuses for RGIII
Think it’s because RG3 believes he can still be himself. I’m sure if RG3 just did what luck did...I’m sure they would bring up his injures

Definitely probably can't say these things with any conviction while talking bout the NFL...
Luck has a pretty good education and degree in Engineering . His best work could be ahead .
Architecture degree.
I guess could've got injured couple more times and set at home and made half a billion. I dunno
Never heard someone say they wouldn't have played if they could do it again. Go watch Adrian foster on rogans podcast then
I like how they make it seem like every football player gets guaranteed contracts and money like Luck. For most player 15 years from now the NFL won’t be worth it.
Car Ram-Rod not enough

That’s exactly it, they almost said it during their press conference ((front office) and the worst part is that the owner (pill popping animal ) still sounds like he’s saying that he would think about it and change his mind, because of the money he is leaving!
The organization revealed their true intentions, not protecting him, by not strengthening their OL. I respect Luck for his stance.
Edward Oorjitham yeah they waited to late to get an OL after the fact he was already going through getting back from his shoulder
AJW 05 yes. Too many years of exposure to injury especially early on
Whitlock the guy who look at sports as a positive because he can talk about the playershe wish he could be but ain't have the will 2 play 🤦🏾♂️
Andrew should have publicly said that idiot Ryan Grigson doesn't know how to put an offensive line together and I forced to take a beating for years before I got Chris Ballard as my general manager who put together a better offensive line in his first year than Ryan did during his time as general manager.
Its better then retiring at the half way season at half time like Davis lol.
Fact
How is it better? Same result... Hypocrite
How is it better???? Vontae Davis at least mad an effort Luck didnt even play dude.....man most you white boys have a different energy when its a black player....Fact sand know your not black....your a small D!CK troll using a fake black person account.......dude its 2019 we all,know ya use fake accounts.
@@IsmokeHiphopLive dude Idk what's going on lol but you clearly need someone to tell you it's ok man
You lost me when you talk about privledge.
I believe he was referring to his dad playing in the NFL like the Mannings which is the royal family of the sport.
SHOUT OUT TO VONTAE DAVIES
So Luck must don’t pay taxes since they saying he has 100 million in the bank smh and why are they assuming he’s saved all his $$ 🤔🤔🤔 what could it be
Many people seem to count like that lol. If I make a hundred thousand dollars this year, but live in Tokyo, go out a lot, pay taxes normally, I might end up with 20-25 thousand saved in the end, which is way of course way lower than 100.
Jochen Schütz yeah they just acting like he hasn’t spent any $$$ 😂😂😂😂
Isn't it kinda funny how pretty much every ex player has lucks back and understands why he retired and only these analysts who never played are saying something about how he shouldn't have stopped so early
Marcellus Wiley was really never that good.
These guys talk about $100 million like the average person talk about a 1/2 million
8:04 MESSAGE
Andrew luck turning into Michael Vick 8:42
Luck seemed intent on playing Wk 1 then said his decision to quit had already been made 2 weeks ago? That's weird.
Vontae Davis
could have easily told the team he couldn't do it anymore and stay to support them. He didn't do any of that, he left at half time and didn't even tell them
Its not courageous to retire when youve made 109mil.
3 yrs college 5 yrs NFL done I'm out.
Mike Vick was supposed to do that.
Marcellus said he was in his prime
Luck has seen two or three specialist. Not just the colts staff.
NAW I GUARANTEE HE ALREASY DONE TOLD THEM MONTHS AN MONTHS AGO BUT I WOULD BET MONEY THEY TOLD HIM TO SAY NOTHIN UNTIL THEY SOLD ALL THERE SEASON TICKET PASSES!!!!
That would be hilarious 😂😂
These dudes need to stop tryning to say why andrew luck retired . only Luck knows
I think there's more to the story and that the time line is totally off. I feel even more worried for the guy because of his mysterious injury. The fact that the backup was playing with the 1s for so long shows they had some indication that at least his health was in a serious gray area. My theory is that the truth hit them all in the past couple weeks and we're just watching an accelerated downfall. This injury must be serious for so many people to be stumped.
We know of a bunch of injuries but he's probably had a lot more than we know and with him playing injured I can see why his body might not have been able to heal properly. I feel for the guy. I'm glad he called it quits instead of becoming one of those guys who shoot up and short change their teammates.
I get the timing thing but I think it must have hit the fan so fast that they decided to rush it before the season starts. Better he retire two weeks prior than 2 weeks in.
The only problem I have is why he is not paying back what he should..
That's the important part. He gets to keep all his money while others who've done this(Barry,Ricky,megatron) had to repay the team.
Why does that man have a soul patch. What year is this.
Is this poetic justice for Peyton Manning.
Said the samething. The Colts tossed Peyton to the side real quick
Money doesnt buy everything. No new hands, feet, ribs, spine, head (brain), cartilage. Luck and plenty more of these current players will no doubt deal with arthritis as they age.
Most people and I mean most (99%) just don't get it. YOU really don't. Look, Luck can make his decision and good for him but the bigger issue isn't really dealt with on this decision.Luck knew what he was getting into. He was the overall #1 pick. He was the pick of the franchise. Even Luck will tell you he was well aware who he was replacing. He was paid franchise money to lead the franchise to a title. He was their guy for 15-20 years. Things aren't always easy and don't go according to plan.Luck had an obligation to do everything in his power to succeed. He wasn't a 5th round draft pick or backup rb or free agent. Luck and his place in the organization isn't like the typical guard or center on a team. Why do you think these organizations pay so much money to the qb? It's the passing era. You need a qb which is why these teams risk a lot to get their guy.Luck was their guy but he put personal considerations first even though he literally signed on to do more than what he did which was play the game through pain. It's not easy being a NFL qb when things don't always go right. On a side note, teams are probably going to draft qb's who aren't that well rounded and sophisticated because when they draft a guy they want 100% football.
I’m happy for Andrew Luck that he walked away when he could. For example:boxers never leave until they have a speech impediment. Awesome, a 29 year old multimillionaire! Fantastic
if the NFL was smart, and they are not, they would ask andrew to take a year off then get him in the front office as an executive doing something...the NFL needs luck for his intellect, integrity, and experience. Vonte Davis is the perfect example of what NOT to do...you do it BEFORE the season starts, not at the alter! Vonta wasn't a QB...this is all different for a starting, franchise QB...you can lose a wide out or d back, not a starting QB...you dont get that, you dont get pro football.
What's the count on great football players that retired early this generation? Luck, Calvin, gronk, ... Who else
Gronk?
@@lindokuhlemkhize9535 Yea there's still more tho
Would you say Plummer was one or is he too far back
What exit was better luck or vontae Davis
I am happy for him. He realize that when he gets older he will not have migraines and will be able to walk.
Let's just let Luck be Luck, let the dude live his own life
Something about Bucky I don’t like
He bald
Andrew Luck has 100 million dollars in the bank. I think he'll be fine in retirement, the NFL has been good to him.
To be fair Calvin Johnson retired early because he got tired of losing and the lions didn’t want to trade him or release him
But he had to repay that money.
It's interesting to see how apologetic and understanding they are regarding Andrew Luck. Meanwhile, they repeatedly mock and scorn Colin Kaepernick. If the two players switched roles, I doubt they would be so supportive of Luck's decision.
