Andrew Luck says he still has no pain in shoulder

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...n-shoulder


Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is being cautious with his surgically repaired shoulder in an effort to ensure he won't "plateau" in training camp.
I hope he has full recovery. It's a shame when such a talented player must see their career end due to injury. Our defense will still shut him down.
Still no pain in his left shoulder?
Shoulder recouperation plus Indy's OL equals future pain
The Quarterback must go down... and he must go down hard !

I want to see him take some hits on that shoulder.

That is the ultimate test.

Yep, all this talk about him being able to throw a football is really irrelevant.. He isn't a baseball pitcher. We won't really know anything about that shoulder until we see how it responds after he lands on it with force.
He's done.

I agree.  Being removed from the game for that long with that injury, I would be shocked if he came back in full form.
I think luck can still be a serviceable QB. Imo he was overrated to begin with so I dont expect him to come back from these injuries and be a top tier QB when i dont think he ever was to begin with. Colts are in a bad way right now.

I still think he'll be a pretty good QB (if the shoulder holds up) but I think the talks of a MVP candidate or a top 5 QB are over.

I said the exact same thing about Brees though so we'll see, he's still young. Colts fans are excited right now that he's throwing a football, but on the outside looking in I'd be more worried that it took him a year and a half just to throw a football without discomfort. That's not normal and extremely alarming.
They play Philadelphia and tinhorns weeks 3 & 4, soooo, I give the shoulder until week 4 before missing games or the play sheet gets extremely limited to keep Luck off the ground. In any case, MVP talk is pretty rediculous.

As Chuck Daly, the Head Coach of the infamous Bad Boy Detroit Pistons, once responded when he was told about how an opponents ribs were healed "We'll see how healed those ribs are once he gets on the court."

There was a boxer (Tyson?) who once said something akin to "Everybody has a plan until they get hit."
