Despite what some fans and NFL reporters might think, Andrew Luck did not let his team down when he announced his retirement two weeks before the start of the regular season, Colts coach Frank Reich said.
Not everyone has been so supportive of Luck’s decision, which he announced Saturday following the Colts’ preseason game at home against the Chicago Bears. Luck, who was sidelined with a nagging ankle injury during the game, cited frustration over a constant “injury, pain, rehab, injury, pain, rehab.”
Word of Luck’s pending announcement spread throughout Lucas Oil Stadium during the game, leading some Colts fans to boo the quarterback who returned from a serious shoulder injury to lead the team into the playoffs last season.“To do this to his teammates, organization, fans, and the NFL 2 weeks before the season is just not right,” wrote Beuerlein, who pointed out that he had 19 surgeries during his career.
“He owes it to his team. It is just a lower leg injury and it will heal! Just give it a chance. If it doesn’t walk away after this year.” Fox Sports Radio host Doug Gottlieb tweeted Saturday: “Retiring cause rehabbing is “too hard” is the most millennial thing ever #AndrewLuck.”But a guy whose life will be much more affected by Luck’s decision is taking the high road on the matter.
