Seems to me the team delayed that decision themselves to a large extent.  

Regardless, couldn’t happen to a more deserving franchise.  Softest fans in the league.  Front running candy canes who think they are entitled to wins being handed to them.

It's just now coming out that the team knew months ago that Luck was considering retirement and basically talked him into coming back. If this is true, then that changes everything in my eyes. I wish Luck would have said this at his press conference. He made it sound like the retirement decision was spur of the moment. If the Colts knew months ago, the blame should be squarely on the front office.

Lol, you do realize he's been injured for almost three years now, right? You ever suffered a kidney laceration? Tore a labrum? Tried to be a professional athlete with a broken down body? Selfish my [BLEEP], if the body goes then it goes. Selfish would be hanging on to your spot and salary when you know it's already over.

Dude, you have no idea what I've been through. I've had 5 herniated discs, stenosis and I even worked a blue collar job for months, not knowing I had a fractured vertebrae from a car accident that I returned to work from, the very next day. That's just the major stuff. I know what pain is and sometimes, you just have to work through it.
