OT: No Luck Week 1

[crisper57]

Andrew Luck scratched vs. Rams. Bets for him playing against AZ in Week 2?

Hopefully we don't get Garropollo'd in week 2 if he does not play

I wouldn't be surprised if Luck ended up retiring.

Two things: Luck hasn't even practiced yet. hard time seeing him practicing for just a week and then playing

Week 1 is when you get surprised by backup QBs: an entire offseason to install new things and steal one.

Why? Other than they are doing to him the EXACT same thing they did to Manning....maybe even worse.

I'd say not good. They traded away a former first round pick receiver for Jacoby Brissett of the Patriots. I don't think you make that move if you think Luck is back in a couple of weeks.

It wouldn't surprise me if he is out until week 5-8, and THEN they'll see what happens. If he can't come back favorably by then, he probably can't the whole season.

I completely stayed away from him in fantasy. Too much unknown. I don't want to draft any QB that may play 1 to 10 games this season.

If that is the case, why not just put him on the PUP list?

Not only will Andrew Luck not play against the Rams, but there's still no timetable on when the quarterback will practice.

That was part of my thinking.

6 weeks mandatory (up to 5 weeks to practice before being taken off). But now they can try to get him earlier, but likely not by much.

It's just one of those things. They trade for a QB, because Luck isn't close to ready, yet they think (or hope) he can attempt a comeback before pup rules(6+ up to 5). My guess is week 5-8.

Whether he can hack it at that point is anyone's guess. He may not be able to.

This whole situation just stinks to high heaven.

sounds like a minimum 2-3 weeks before he is back

 

[Shaggy]

What's wrong with him? What kind of injury does he have?

Shoulder surgery.

Also from what I remember hearing they want him to regain (and build up more then ever) strength in the shoulder so it doesn't happen again. But that doesn't always work. They are being extra cautious, and I'm not sure how much of a difference an extra two to three months will do.

It just seems to me that if they can't get it right this time, it might be an issue that plagues him the rest of his career.

With Tolzien or Brissett starting? Doubtful. Didn't Brissett only play one game last season?

Luck wont see the field before mid october. Colts brass wants him at 100% before he plays again so he does not have to deal with any nagging issues.
smart move...

If we can't beat that Luckless Colts squad, might as well just call it a season at that point.

 

[GatorAZ]

Home opener for the Colts after being embarrassed vs another early start road game possibly without DJ. I'm interested what the line will be.

I will panic then.

This place won't be pretty if that happens.

Probably same as it was today.

You're not concerned yet? We lost DJ for at least a few games, Palmer looks old, and our o line looks the same as last year.
