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.
Mark Sanchez took the Jets to within a game of the Super Bowl. Nobody cares.
Entitlement is a funny word to use here. If expecting a (the) key player on your team not to quit two weeks before opening day is entitled, then I suppose you are right.
As to his garbage protection, I think people ignore one key fact here. Luck never was a quarterback who was good at the things that quarterbacks need to do to prevent themselves from being injured. He was always reluctant to slide or run out of bounds, and he took a lot of unnecessary shots for that very reason. The line takes plenty of blame, but some of it is on him, too.
