Coming from a lifelong colts fan, I will forever be ashamed of how this man was booed and yelled out. He literally gave his heart, soul, and body to this team just to have it thrown in his face. He is a giant of a man.
I agree. As a Colts fan and Hoosier, I thought we had more class than that.
it be ur own people man...
I feel you… it was tough to watch. From NorCal so I watched him at Stanford. I wanted Luck so bad to go to Miami… but I assure you he most likely would had the same outcome for us. Andrew Luck is a Legend! Good Luck!
i honestly dont care much about how the fans acted. It sucks they booed him but seeing him healthy and happy with his family is all that matters.
I agree absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! Coming from a colts fan.
Not a tragedy, maybe one of the smartest football players ever. Can live life comfortably and his children too.
Def not a tragedy
Saved himself before a tragedy
I agree with your sentiment Hanson. Great comment. But it is a tragedy for "fans of football." Luck was great. As a fan of football it can still be said it's a tragedy that he was put in the position to retire and that we weren't able to see more of him.
It is when you think we could of had mahomes, Allen, and luck playing in the afc at the peak of their careers
Yeah I bet it sucks to be a millionaire
Love how people can criticize him for retiring like it's not his career & his decision. Dude made his millions, gave the fans a lot of great memories & made his sacrifices
Not that he retired. It was HOW he retired
@@trojanhorse9459 His health is more important than football. It was weird he retired with 2 weeks before the 2019 season kicked off, but I understand why
@@TYreLL0416 totally agree. I want him to live long and healthy. But he waited till it screwed the colts. It was a trash move and time. He retired when he could have stuck around one more year and ride off. Or say something a month or so earlier and give his team a chance at free agents.
@@trojanhorse9459 least it he didnt retired at half time if u know what i mean
Yep, he doesn't owe us anything
I'm still heartbroken...but I totally understand and support his life decision. The Colts have never been the same since! #AndrewLuckFanFOREVER
for sure. It completely broke the franchise...I have his jersey in a case behind me in my office.
Always a brilliant take brother ❤❤ one day I hope to grow up and be like you 😊
💯
Im not a colt fan and I’m heartbroken! WTF! Wish they could of done something to help out Luck and that O! Dude was a beast!
@@shanekwilson648 I had planned to procure his jersey, too....no more...They'll never recover from this.
I said it his entire career that Luck is and always will be my favorite qb. This man gave it his all every single game, never complained even as he was being thrashed by opposing defenses he still went out there and did what he was paid to do without question. I will forever respect this man and I wish the best of Luck to him for the rest of his life. This coming from a colts fan too
He’s a quitter.
Better then mentally quitting and wasting team time and money with no effort.
@@newagain9964 yes, but I'm just curious, do you disagree with why he did?
@@fuzzydunlop0507 no. Ppl can do what they want. Sometime u gotta change course. But I don’t like ppl acting like he did not quit. He did. Mid season too!
@@newagain9964 fair enough, but short of being Andrew Luck himself, we can't know how much pain he was in or how serious his health was. I don't blame him
He was a tough son of a bitch and gave all he could and considering the shitty situation around him for most of his career the success he had was pretty phenomenal.
I miss seeing him play but seeing him smile with his wife and kid makes my heart happy that he left when he did. Maybe we would've gotten a Superbowl out of him, but I would sacrifice that easily to give him a happy healthy like with his family.
You created the best comment possible. We just want what is best for Andrew Luck's health, family, and future goals.
Ridiculous. There is nothing he has right now that he couldn't have had in a decade. The Colts committed a No. 1 pick for him...they let a Hall of Fame qb go to make room for him....he was the next 15 years for the organization.....his leaving is inexcusable. You people have been watching too goddamned much tv. You have no practical sense or understanding of reality.
The fact people booed him and talked down on him for making a decision to walk away from football because he cared more for his future rather than continue to put his body through more physical damage than he already has is sad. He said it in his retirement press conference, his love for the game wasn't there anymore. The constant injuries took a toll on him both physically and mentally and he didn't wanna be stuck in that cycle.
When someone is as competitive as Andrew, losing that competitive flame was a huge factor in retirement imo
@@yankees29 and it's not just him, we've seen it with so many players from other sports too. I fully supported his decision to retire, I'd rather get to know that he can properly heal his body and mind so he can be there for his family and start the next chapter of his life rather than see him continue to put his body and mental health on the line.
It's sad because his love for the game was pretty much sacked out of him. People don't understand the toll it takes for someone at his position to constantly be getting hurt because you're scrambling for your life on every play. It's no longer fun because instead of playing to win you're playing to survive which defeats the whole purpose of playing and what made him so good in the first place. I hope he's doing well in retirement
@@robertespinoza9104 The Colts didn’t help matters. His offensive lines were awful. He is a big dude and he took a beating back there.
@@yankees29 most definitely
No social media presence, that's why he is such a happy go lucky kinda guy
I see what you did there
Andrew Luck is one smart man. He knew when to get out. He didn’t let football ruin the rest of his life.
Amen; respect!
19:10 I remember that Seattle game and that throw specifically. Luck took on and took down the Legion of Boom.
I have been going through phases of manic depression and I have to say brother that your videos have helped me so much to get my mind off of everything. Keep up the good work brotha.
Hang in there brother. Prayers for you.
I agree, these documentaries are just so well done. Straightforward without all of the flashy hyper editing, etc. Etc. Real quality work..
The Colts should've provided SO MUCH MORE around him to sustain his career...
I put that on Grigson
Thank you for putting me through this once again 😢
i have a cousin who looks just like him so i don't miss seeing him or his twin. i feel bad for his fans for whom this is indeed painful.
No matter how much time has passed I can never seem to get over this man’s retirement. Every time I revisit this story I physically get sick to my stomach. Andrew Luck will always be my favorite QB of all time (Yes, even over Peyton) & I will forever be disgusted with how we handled his career as an organization. KNOWING that we had lightning in a bottle, & watching him being wasted year after year was as painful as anything to watch.
I will forever be grateful for what Andrew brought to Indy ! And forever embarrassed by our entitled fanbase for how we handled his retirement. It’s hard to imagine that the universe will ever perfectly align to create another QB with the brain, skills, physical attributes, character, pride, leadership, and bravery as #12.
We Miss you Andrew !
To have a player with all the physical and mental attributes is amazing. To have such a player exemplify character as well is legendary.
Luck is priceless and I think many fans regardless of our team allegiances will forever hold him in high regard.
I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. His retirement was heart breaking for those who love the game but completely understandable. Life is more important than football. Not only is he smart, I think more importantly, he is wise.
Our entitled fanbase consisting of a few hundred drunk hoosiers in shock, in the 4th quarter of a preseason game? Lol when will this meme die
He made millions and is now a dad and doesn’t have intense brain trauma like AB. Yes it’s sad, but he hasn’t returned and is living his life being a husband and dad. I’m happy for him
Quit making excuses for ABs bahavior on CTE. The guy is Biplolar has mental issues. Ofc he has some level of CTE as other football players do but that’s not what has made him such a controversial guy his entire career not just recently.
Nah EFF THAT! HE OWES INDY FOR 2 MORE YEARS! THAT'S BS!
lol I love Deeeeek ❤️ 😮
The man is off doing his own thing. no social media accounts means no freaking headaches!!! very wise to retire when he did instead of still playing and suffering the aftermath years later. i'm sure he is putting that degree to good use. my hat's off to him.
How can you not love this man?
It's impossible
I don’t love him
I love him.
This was so well done bruh,Ive been hard on this dudes material at times,however I do appreciate when he,s locked in & gives us great content like this.Ide rather listen to Mike (even tho he,s a squeeler with his voice at time😂) over that trash on e.s.p.n & fox sports.Well done keep it up ese.
Why you gotta make me cry mike. Luck was and is my fave player to ever play. Growing up seeing how he handled himself was crazy. In HS I legit wrote a paper on him as my role model lol. When he retired I was hosting a pregame with some friends before going out to the college bars. When the news came out, I stayed home and just watched his highlights. The mystery of what he could’ve been is so tragic. No colts fans Will forgive and forget until we get our new guy
I saw him as trying. You can't blame a guy for chosing health over money. It's amazing that people can do this punishing game. I always wonder about the people we never hear of...
I miss Andrew Luck so much man. He was a great guy and I do believe that he would have won a Super Bowl or two by now
❤❤❤
If he was still the starter, the Colts would be a contender.
That’s my quarterback. Every NFL fan.
Not with the colts management.
We coulda made the SB in 2020 with Luck in my opinion.
Great analysis. Correction: Stanford is not an Ivy League school 😅
This made me think of The Simpsons episode when they all get arrested. Lisa whines that she will now never get into an Ivy League school, then Bart taunts, "You're going to Stanford! You're going to Stanford!"
He was so fun to watch - him and TY were both fun! Totally understand his decision.
I think the real tragedy is all the other players who have nothing else to fall back on so they risk their bodies every day doing something hazardous to their health
They decided to play, their is consequences to every action.
doesn't make it less tragic when we get an Antonio Brown.
True but they do get paid a lot...they can retire after a couple of seasons and then take that money for investment.
@@pawrestlingchamp there* are*
They are payed millions. They could all be wealthy for ever, if they wanted.
This is an Amazing Video! Oliver Luck? I never knew that Andrew Lucks Dad was a Quarterback. I am so impressed with your research and how he grew up in Europe. That's amazing. Andrew Luck was definitely an Athlete. Thanks for the History of Andrew Luck. Jim Harbaugh also carved a niche in the College Ranks too! My brother lives in Indianapolis IN and he's a Colts fan. It must have been painful to see him retire? Andrew Luck was sacked a lot his Rookie year. But Joe Burrow also got sacked his Rookie Year and broke his Leg too! I can't be mad at Andrew Luck. I'm a Cincinnati Bengals Fan. Luck beat the Bengals in the Playoffs!
Ty for making this story this is an amazing player and will always be God bless his soul I hope he is living his best life now
I'll always remember what happened to Andrew Luck as a horrific example of organizational chaos...smh
That’s the Colts. Just look at all the coaches and players Manning made look legit, besides maybe Dungy. I don’t think it’s coincidence that both Manning and Luck had injury problems. I think Mannings might have been much worse if he wasn’t getting rid of the ball as fast as he was. Obviously Luck was much more mobile and took extra hits all around the board.
@@mclohan
I blame Irsay for a lot of the disfunction with the Colts. He's directly responsible for the mess that they've become. The worst part is that he had Bill Polian running things, but then he chased him off...smh
Let's not forget it's hard to maintain a reasonable talent level when you are drafting at the back end of the draft every single year.
@@ckobo84
It's simply a matter of doing enough to scout potential talent...
As a colts fan this still hurts
It was videos like this that got me into your content. Especially your murder mysteries, but it was the updates on daily nfl that keeps me coming back everyday to check your channel. Thank you for your hard work. It will always be appreciated.
he was such a nice person treated like garbage. people booed him for giving his everything. thank you andrew!
i did do and/or PROBABLY will SOMEWHAT like cats and please read my comments
Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy.
Being able to retire at 29 with enough in the bank to never have to do a damn thing that you don't want to do ever again requires a different word to define it.
I'm not a Colts fan but I LOVED watching Andrew Luck play football and I took a strong interest in them when Frank went there to coach, for obvious reasons. That was his last season, I believe, but they made an amazing playoff run and looked set to be a great team. It sucked that it was just too late.
No one should be telling anyone when to retire. When they feel it's time its their time. No none knows what someone's going through. We all have problems and no body should judge. Just because you have money doesn't make those problems/ issue's any easier. God-bless you Andrew some off us support you!!
Mad respect to Andrew Luck, the dude went Nerd Mode on the feild.
Proof that a team's owner can limit generational talents to mediocrity. After Snyder sells Washington, Irsay will claim the spot as the worst owner in the league
Owner is why Grigson didn't protect Luck? Or what about Ballard beefing up the line the moment he got there? That was an Irsay hire
The Colts are kicking them selves in the ass for not pursuing TB12 instead of Rivers 😂
@@ijclnl48 bro, who hired and kept Grigson for 5 years? Why did Manning only win one SB in Indy? Plus his mistress' sketchy passing
Look I'm an eagles fan, so I'm extremely happy when we trade with y'all, but you can't deny his incompetence
@@octaviopatlan3746 Manning was the highest paid QB in the NFL for over a decade. That's why he has one ring.
@@ijclnl48 you still haven't proven how Irsay is an average or good owner. Plus Manning got the 2nd ring in Denver and broke all types of offensive records there, while the colts are below Medicare since he left.
I still remember drafting him for my fantasy team only for the retirement news coming out like 5 minutes after my pick. It was a shame he didn't get the good o-line until it was too late he was fun to watch.
I’ll never forget all the games at Stanford I was lucky enough to get to watch him at. Hoped he’d be drafted by the Niners but knew that was a slim chance given where he was projected to be taken
Will always love and respect Luck. Was so stoked when I found out he was coming to Indy. Wish we took better care of him….
Aye, I'm a Washington fan. We destroyed rg3 man. I wish we had competent coaches back then
@@OffDeGanja Poor RG3😔 I know it was during a game with my team he got injured, but that field! I really hope that a new owner shows up & improves things quickly so whoever comes in can have a proper career. I mean, everyone has to play at everyone one else's stadium. I can't believe this has gone on so long! And he had so much potential. I hated to see him have to go (as well as Luck).
The whole Andrew luck situation was eerily similar to me in my mind to Derrick Rose and the Chicago bulls
That loss to the colts up 31-10 still hurts. Thank goodness for patrick
Been looking forward to this one Mike, I haven’t even watched it yet and I know it’s going to be amazing. Keep up the great work!
I’ll never forget that Colts Chiefs game in the playoffs, as a lifelong Chiefs fan I went through every stage of emotion, confident, cocky, worried, rage and sadness blowing that lead.
As a Denver Broncos fan, I remember that game too, lol. It was unbelievable!
It’s sad to think that RG3 had a similar yet different situation. Truly both special talents that had to retire early because of poor couching.
I thought Philly fans were bad but seeing how the colts treated a man who took an amount of punishment few could begin to understand and boo him an yell and jeer is absolutely shameful. I hope they always struggle at the qb position.
Only a pity the manager or players did not see it fit to protect their valuable players owners and managers I respect him a lot
He does what he wants and makes him happy and isn't scared to do it. Gotta love that and be happy for him.
as a broncos fan, i remember that game in where he suffered a lacerated kidney. even then i would have rather him put any number of points on us to beat us than him take that injury.
Bro, that was one of the absolute best stories on a player I have ever seen. I sincerely thank you for making it. A total masterpiece my man. Great job!! And what a hell of a human being Andrew Luck is. I had no idea. A true specimen.
He was too smart for football.. Retiring was the smart move!! Love this guy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
He was on the path to greatness.
Dude you’re content has been fire for a few months now. I love it. (Coming from another common sense Dallas fan) keep it up. Well done kid.
I can't imagine the pain colts fans had to bare, I'll admit just watching his highlights recently, I gotta say this guy was a beast, it's sad that he had to leave early but the nfl is so unpredictable and shit happens, I hope him n his family are doing great, God bless ✝️
That Break hits hard every video
Luck actually congratulating the def. lineman instead of his own O-line had to be a huge signal that he was hoping his guys would do better; they just didn't understand that
Thanks for this presentation,I never knew the full story and blown away by his heart of gold nature and to me that's priceless.
The fact that he's as smart as he is, and the fact that he's been feeling pain all the time. He should have retired. Good for him to know when to quit. Pain is no joke. I'm dealing with pain for the last 20 years, it's no fun.
EXCELLENT! Great job. Awedome documentary on Andrew luck. He was a special talent....
Went to the same high school as Andrew, grew up across the street from his parents. Really cool people.
A perfect storm. An inept front office that didn’t realize QB protection was number one priority until it was too late, and an athletes raised in privilege, who had options other than playing until he was 40 going on 70.
Great job Mike! Thank you very much! Enjoy watching these types of videos.
He was so god damn good.
The fact that no one even mentions that he would have been better than Peyton Manning.
He was such a good dude too.
He became my favorite QB for years him and Alex Smith are the most underrated players in NFL history.
People don't realize that this man had the best first 6 season by a QB in NFL history!! He was really on paste to become the best Qb of all time no other qb had a start like him & he was gettin better every season we might never see somebody that good retire that early again
it's NICE for me to see andrew luck sad and at 23:14 i LITERALLY always have and will SOMEWHAT like tom brady
I stand by my belief that this man never had a O-line because this began the trend of of not needing to put the best O-line on the field because you have a mobile QB. THAT falls on the shoulders on the Colts organization ... they took advantage of luck and it costed them his career ... it pleases me to see that the team, to this day, have never recovered from luck's retirement.
Luck's story should serve as a cautionary tale to all teams: stop depending solely on your running QB and put a damn O-LINE in front of them.
Andre Johnson only played with Indy in 2015 not 2016. However great mini-documentary! Well done! Andrew Luck definitely could've been an HOF if the Colts front office did their job better.
This is sad story. To be honest it's one I'm worried about being repeated in Cincinnati with Joe Burrow.
I love your videos… they help me learn things I didn’t know
would love to see these long form videos on the basketball channel
One of my favorite mic'd up players is Andrew Luck he was so nice he'd tell defensive players "nice his" lhe had so many moments of just showing outstanding sportsmanship
I just hope he is happy.. I hope your happy Andrew and wish you the best. Thank you for everything you have done for all is nfl fans we appreciate it
My QB and #12 will always be my quarterback in Indianapolis. I absolutely love that man for giving me and my son great memories. Hope all is well Andrew!
This shows management makes a difference for their players. I never understood how or why the colts fans booed him out as he gave literally everything but only to be shafted in very key areas
AL: "I retire because I've been injured for the past 4 years"
Narrator: "It's impossible to figure out what happened to Andrew Luck"
I think the worst thing that can happen to a man is to mentally break. The most lost you will ever feel.
What sucks is we beefed up the O line and spent the most money on it, but they suck now again regardless 😂😢
He came back. Played the pre season realized that his line was the worst one he had ever had and his team wasn't very good. So he hung em up. He didn't need the money. He was hurt for life already he didn't want to be crippled while going 6 - 10.
Nice video has always respect well done again 👍🏾 always enjoy watching your videos
Great video, Mike...one of your best.
This was truly an awesome video. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
“87 million $ and what does he do that same night? Gets a robotic ping pong table and goes to a children’s charity that night” honestly that should tell you all you need to know about Andrew Luck. He didn’t need football, football needed him. I wish him the best in retirement.
Production on this video is amazing
I really enjoy these profiles. Thanks, Mike!
He finally premiered his Andrew Luck documentary after about two years and it's everything we hoped it would be and more.
As humans and even more so as sports fans we tend to project our own feelings onto the objects of our interest. The truth is that Andrew Luck already had a helluva life before he even played a single down of NFL ball. The career he had in the League was just a bonus. Great human being, glad he's living his best life in retirement.
Not even a colts fan but I think this man should be in the hall of Fame
Stop that’s enough
Absolutely awesome video & one of my favorites now for sure........I still collect Andrew Luck card's today & will always because he was a amazing quarterback & even a better person..........
The fact that this guy never won a heisman and league mvp is mind blowing!! A hall of fame qb that never was, a wasted talent on a dysfunctional organization, this guy was great on and off the field. It was awesome watching him torch defenses
Edit: truly a shame that he was booed because he was looking to save his body instead of coming back and destroying it more. Those “fans” arent real ones
Great video! But this says everything you need to know about this franchise, back to back HOF caliber QB’s and 1 title!
being from norcal, at the time the niners sucked so bad and needed a new qb, i remember watching Luck closely the whole time at stanford i was so sad when the niners couldn’t take him 2011(he went back to school) or 12 lmao
This is so funny seeing this because I’m a Stanford season ticket holder and I see andrew luck now all the time it’s crazy. He and his family tailgates at the games all the time.
Mike you only grow as one of my favorite RUclipsrs, very very touching video. Very informative very well put, great content bro.i would have known half of that about drew
Absolutely phenomenal video bro wow
Great freaking content Mike!!!
As an Indianapolis colts fan i remember when Peyton left and we drafted Andrew Luck, I was so happy man, i thought we're definitely winning a couple superbowls with him, but as time went on i realized how much we screwed the pooch on this, we kept letting him get hit and mangled and thought oh he'll just tough through it and come back, obviously we failed him, I just wish he would give us one more chance i have no doubt he still has the stuff
I forgot what a true giant Luck was on the field and in life. I have no doubt that he has remained that giant. His greatness would probably still be setting the league on fire had his career not been so mismanaged. He is so incredibly intelligent we know he is successful, the sad part is we don't have the opportunity to celebrate that with him as we no doubt would have. I will never forget him being booed off the field. I could not believe the the lack of grace and class represented by the fans.
Andrew Luck vs Patrick Mahomes would have been a rivalry for the ages, damn shame we all got robbed!
I can't think of a worse situation, other the the doo doo Browns for Luck at this time. The Colts were so inept at bringing in talent, they really left him no choice. At least he'll be able to enjoy his family now, instead of being broken.
i wish we would of seen Andrew Luck play more nfl career games instead of retiring early. it would be cool if he could come back in the nfl someday.
Great piece Mike
I can never begrudge a man that makes his own choices, for whatever reason. NFL was a path, he tried it... decided he didn't want to do it anymore.
As a giants fan I have always told people that Andrew Luck is the greatest quarterback skill wise
