Gottlieb has no clue what he's talking about, playing QB and fighting through injuries. Aikman does, and he called Gottlieb on it.

Saying he's "triggered" is a very 2019 thing.
Ya,it obviously rubbed on #8 the wrong way, I recall where Troy said he doesn't even come close to remembering the second half of some games he'd won after he'd gotten his bell rung,,,that statement pissed him off.

And they are left with Jacoby Brissett.....they are lucky to even have someone of his caliber. IMO, they don't even deserve him. They deserve........Drew Henson or someone.

Especially with how they booed him and ignored the key factors surrounding it. Bad timing for the team? Yes. But it serves the front office right for not giving him the tools (oline) he needs to stay healthy and succeed. If he were on our team, I have no doubt he'd be playing at a high level right now and enjoying the game.

Right...they just finally invested in lineman last season and it paid off but by that time it was 7 years of abuse. Good for him. Screw that fanbase.

Yes, and I would've thought they'd learned their lesson after losing him for an entire year. Clearly, Irsay hadn't. That oline is abysmal, and they were far too late in addressing it. If I'm a QB, the only teams I'd choose the Colts over would probably be Washington and Houston. The Colts are dismal at treating QBs well. Ask Peyton with his broken neck. At least Luck got out before that happened to him. Oh, and the Colts got rid of Peyton after that. So yes, indeed, good for Luck to wise up.

Bravo Aikman, you the man:yourock:


Luck can live his life any way he wants, last time I checked its still a free country. If Luck doesn't want to play football anymore, for whatever reason, its nobody's dam business but his.

At least he has the class to come out and say he is done...………..he could have gone into the season and after game 1 say "I'm hurt, cant play" and stand on the sideline collecting game checks for the rest of the season.

Enduring pain? LOL

OUCH!! That hurts..........please stop!!! LOL

How many guys on his team do you think endur pain throughout the year?

If Andrea Duck wasnt willing to "endur pain", then he should have retired in the offseason.

Andrea Duck?

Seriously?

I love keyboard warriors like you that wouldn't last 5 seconds in the NFL. The first blindside hit and they would be carrying you off on a stretcher. But yeah, go ahead and make fun of somebody that did it for almost a decade tough guy.

so if Dak walked away a week before the season, some of you all are cool with that? I bet you wouldn't be defending that decision then...just a hunch.

Considering half the threads on this site declare Dak the worst starting QB in the NFL and that he owes all of his success to Zeke, we would probably improve if Dak suddenly retired, according to them.

Lost in all of this nonsense is the fact that the Colts have a shot at
striking gold a third time at the QB spot.

I can see it now "Tank For Tyler" shirts fly off the shelves as
the legend of Tyler Lawrence grows.
Or maybe you mean Trevor Lawrence.
Please! Take the pledge to not drink and post.

To retire is human. To announce on the sidelines is stupid. Be a bit more dignified and not like a kardashian.

FINE..WE AGREE LIFE DOES COME FIRST. So the fact the team has no chance in HELL of finding a QB via draft matters to you? If this were Dallas and Dak I think you wouldn't be on your soap box.

Maybe if the team bothered to draft some oline, then every QB they have had (Manning, Luck) would not be injured to the point of retirement.

You put a bunch of scurbs on the oline, dont come crying to me when your QBs dont want to play for you anymore.

Don’t really see why Troy is so triggered. Gottlieb isn’t saying Luck doesn’t have the right to retire. He’s just saying that this is a very 2019 thing that we’re witnessing.
No, he is saying so much more than that. He is saying Gottlieb stepped over the line questioning what motivates Luck. It has nothing to do with 2019 or millennials, despite Gottlieb saying so. Luck didn't want to do it anymore. This is not anything unique to any generation.
