He should just become left handed

plus he got paid.

Oline men aren't cheap.I see him retiring if he's injured and out again. What a waste if you're a colts fan.

Meh. A lot of the hits he took was his own fault too for holding the ball too long.

Well, not entirely with you on this. He is a fine qb. If he needs a little extra time, the hc and the gm have three choices:

they can try to coach that out of him

they can assemble an O line which will give him that time

or they can ignore it and wait for his career to come to a premature end.

The Colts chose the third option. Unless they are a lot luckier than they deserve, they are going to get reminded sometime soon about how hard it is to find a franchise qb.

it's also very hard to find great olinemen.

Sure you could go top draft but they aren't always shoe ins for success.

Kwame Harris anyone?

True. But you have to keep trying.

Eff you Indy for possibly ruining a HOF QB. This dude is too good for this crap. Indy tanked on purpose for Luck and then couldn't get a WR over 5'6, any decent o lineman, or a serviceable defense. We got robbed as fans.

Their lack of a decent, good running game have been pathetic since he got to the team.

The Colts should keep Brisset. He seemed to be a very good backup that could be a lot more than that within a year or 2

Oh I agree with you. I'm just saying that his injuries are not entirely on the offensive line. Nearly every QB plays behind a shaky line and it's just as much the QB's responsibility to make proper adjustments as it is the front office and coaching staff. Luck gets no blame because he's Andrew Luck, let's keep it real.

The Colts Offensive line are very awful to protect for Andrew Luck. He was hurt and injured his shoulder. The Colts Gm and Fans are dumb to draft the players and Bad sign for FA any players. Lol

I agree with you but at the same time the Colts have a history of sucking ass at the right time. They had the first pick when Elway, Manning and Luck were coming out I know they didn't get Elway but it's still crazy how they get that first pick when great prospects come out like that

They neglected their OLine and are paying the price.

An example on why we really need to get top tier OLine guys whether in FA or draft.

Gore had to play behind that s**t OL too. Worst OL situation in the league and its not even close.

6 out of their 9 OL from 2015 are already out of the league. Of the three still playing, Jack Mewhort has chronic knee issues and was considering retirement, missing 17 games in the past two seasons, and Denzelle Good was a DII 7th rounder who doesn't have a position, can't stay healthy, and somehow managed to start 19 games for them in three seasons.

I mean, what the f**k lol.
