Apparently he’s told them he’s retiring.

Ho-ly, shit. Just got the alert on my phone via Shefter. That's got to be a giant blow to the hearts of Colts fans. Holy shit.

I just saw this, I’m shocked. Why is he retiring right now? 2 weeks before the season starts!! I can never remember a star QB just quitting right before the season!! The Colts were one of the favorites in the AFC, making it exceptionally puzzling as to why he is quitting right now.

Who can blame him to value his health more than a simple sports.

Mentally? That's it?

He should’ve retired at the end of 2018 if he was burned out, you don’t just quit on your team 2 weeks before the season starts, leaving them with nothing they can do, the Colts 2019 season just went down the drain. A dick move on Luck’s part IMO. Just holy shit, this is the most shocking retirement I can ever remember.

Here are some tweets regarding this from Stephania Bell who is ESPN's injury expert and Fantasy Football podcast host.

I know his shoulder injury recovery was weird and reports that he wasn't trusting it and all but last year he played well. Then whatever this calf/bone injury he has that hasn't quite been figured out. I could see something like this just wearing down on you. Especially if you've been having "emotional scars" like Stephania Bell pointed out above. Maybe the dude just needs to take a break from it all and get his head straight and maybe he comes back in a year or 2. If you're not mentally all in for the grind of the season it's probably best not to play. Could find yourself getting hurt even worse. Sucks for the Colts and the fan base.

Here's some more insight. Maybe it wasn't such a shocking conclusion at least from his perspective. However Colts staff seem shocked by it so who knows the communication between him and the organization where they were at. Either way, his health comes before anything. The timing of it all just stinks but it's not like he had whatever this new injury was when last season finished.

So apparently Colts fans are booing Luck during a preseason game. That's pretty shitty.

Luck listening to these shitty fans booing him isn't exactly making him want to go out there and play for them anymore I imagine. Hell, if he wants to just take a few years off and take a break I wouldn't hold it against him to play somewhere else because of how some Colts fans are taking this.

Sorry but this made me laugh. Luck's dad apparently is the Commissioner of the XFL.

What’s shitty is Luck’s decision to quit on the team right before the season starts, ruining their season when they were expected to be a top tier team.

Oh, well, he's never been available anyway.
