He's the ultimate hype-generated superstar. Lots of cred for stats and physical traits, but at the end of the day his legacy is garbage in the grand scheme of things. This is even more so now that he's a bona fide quitter.
That team ran arguably the most legendary quarterback this side of Tom Brady out of town, then proceeded to intentionally tank a season to obtain the ability to draft Andrew Luck. This is the reward the fans reap. A quitting loser who lacks the class to drop the news before late August.
Screw Luck and his silver-spoon bullshit. I hope the fans show up on his lawn with torches and trash bags full of dead, decaying raccoons. He's a punk and a chickenshit. It's his right to quit, most assuredly. But that comes with a price. He's going to pay it forever in the eyes of Colts fans.
The dude took them to within a game of the Super Bowl. If a Bengals QB does that in my lifetime, I'd be friggin' thrilled. Colts fans need to get over themselves if they think they're to the point where they can take shit like that for granted. Gee I feel so sorry for them down here in Cincinnati... they've sure got it rough.
The amount of entitlement some fans have is ridiculous. You hope people show up on his lawn with torches and trash? Chill out, dude, it's a friggin' game and the Colts were pretty damn good at that game when Luck was on the field. And that's while playing for a team that (up until last year) had him behind a garbage offensive line playing with no defense.
I think there's a pretty good chance Luck didn't just up and quit on them, because it sure seemed like he spent the last few months trying to get back on the field for them. He's just broken down at this point (thanks aforementioned offensive line!). I'd give him the benefit of the doubt even if the timing sucks, because it's not like he was going to be out there in week 1 or week 2 for them anyways.
The Colts will end up drafting Trevor Lawrence and all the sudden all the fans will be back on board. I hope he saw this and tells them to kiss his ass and demands to play elsewhere.
