Vinitieri was just a kid here. Only 39 years young.

Percy Harvin was a BEAST that year. I remember him being a mvp candidate before he got injured that's when Ap exploded. Also this the legendary rookie year when RG3 , Luck, RW3, and and even Tannehill were going off!

[@bendrescher7185]

Two great players retired this offseason. Press f for Gronkowski and Luck.

Gronk will be back. Maybe not this year but he’s gonna play again.

mshat18 looking at what he said about it early I kinda doubt it

[@Joel0847able]

Just realize how special luck was, he just looked like he belonged from the get go. Look back at all the nfl Drafts since, from Wilson to wentz Mahomes Goff Dak this guy was an undeniable number one pick and was a sure thing. This is the closest I’ve seen to a forsure franchise QB in a long time

[@cako666]

[@Zmad724]

Luck (just like Manning out of UT) was one of the most NFL ready QB's ever coming out of college. Listening to his cadence behind center, his patience in the pocket, you would never guess (if you didn't know) that this was his second NFL start ever. Just an absolute stud. Sad that Percy Harvin and Luck both had careers derailed by injuries, and both retired early. Harvin was like a swiss army knife on offense.

It's a crying shame what the Colts organization did to him both on and off the field with the injuries and such. Anyways this is a great video to put out there and it's nice to see a young Andrew Luck. I wish him the best in the future.

[@Bommit91]

Colts fan here. Yeah, the GM at the time Ryan Grigson absolutely ruined Luck's career. Sure, Luck had some blame (holding the ball too long, trying to always make the hero play), but Grigson had a problem. That problem was not admitting his mistake. He drafted and signed terrible after terrible O-Linemen. The only good lineman he personally picked that was left on the team is Ryan Kelly, our Center. Anthony Castonzo was drafted by Polian. Irsay fucked up by not firing Grigson sooner. Luck winning some huge games in the playoffs and us getting to the AFC Championship game kept Grigson in office. Grigs should have been fired after the AFCCG, but he covered up his loss with the deflategate scandal. It's really a shame what happened to Luck, and he will always be one of my favorite all-time Colts. Fuck the 200 some fans that booed him off, they don't represent the lot of us.

[@jeremiahgeiger]

Shame on the Colts fans who booed Andrew Luck. Great Qb and great person. RESPECT

[@enbeezy]

I am getting sick of people shaming the REAL fans for being upset that the star quarterback abruptly quits. He deserved to be booed. Shout out to the Colts employee who did the right thing by leaking that he was going to retire.

Man even though he retired in his prime because of injuries and etc. he put up some really good stats and quality starter for seven years. That's something that we can't all say. Wish the best for the Colts and Andrew Luck.

Two one of a kind talents at quarterback fall right into the Colts’ lap and they have done nothing but successfully alienate them. A pox on Jim Irsay.

[@RoseluckySeven]

I'm gonna miss him so much. Hopefully Jacoby can turn out to be something great for us!

[@LukeR.5117]

I think Brissett can be decent. His 2017 season was admirable given the circumstances.

[@tonyscowboyshow2344]

Luck was a great quarterback it's always so cool watching videos from years ago seeing what became of everyone

[@musafawundu6718]

I am watching this because of Percy Harvin. He had an GREAT game. I was really sad that he left the Vikings. I still like him. One of my favourite Vikings players after Moss and Peterson.

[@kyleciarrocchi]

Its crazy how much more aggressive football was even 10 years ago

[@TheLocalLt]

This was the year AP went on to rush for 2k. But then Christian ponder got hurt and they didn’t have a backup(!!!) for the playoffs so they had to play receiver/emergency QB Joe Webb, who had originally replaced Brett Favre with the Vikes two years earlier. But this time Webb and the Vikes got crushed 30-7, and worst of all it was too their arch rival Packers!

[@YyYaaj722]

Packers beat Webb & Vikings 24-10 in thr wild card round

[@TheLocalLt]

Yen'g Yaaj you’re right it was 24-10 Packers, maybe there was another Vikes-packers game that ended 30-7. Either way terrible roster management by Minny

[@rottdogg8926]

@@TheLocalLt Also illustrates how the backup QB is the second most important player on the field. Most fans scoff at the backup.....Until they need one.

[@acito9037]

I'm gonna miss Andrew playing. Hopefully, his retirement is just a "see ya later". S/N: Y'all can hear a pen drop in the stadium whenever the Colts were on offense. Gotta thank Peyton for that.

[@cheesegyoza]

I worked for a company that built the doors for that stadium. I put my name on the inside of the aluminum tubing before they were welded. My name will always be with that stadium!

[@ryann.9526]

Can’t believe Colts fans booed the man who made this franchise relevant again after Manning left for Denver. If anything, you should all be booing the Colts front office for not giving him any help in front of him while he was there. The human body can only take so much and Luck was smart to retire now before any further damage was done. Enjoy your retirement, Andrew. It was an honor to watch you play.

The Colts Scheme as well as Luck's playstyle have as much to do with the hits he took as the oline

Everyone saying the Colts never had a OL to keep him clean: In game Luck started, Colts never finished outside the TOP10 in pressure% and clean pocket. He may just have held onto the ball too long a lot of the times, be it bad play calling or simply the receivers not getting open.

You got to do his comeback vs the Packers. One of the great regular season games this decade.

With Luck's retirement, Wilson's value has risen that much more. If I am not mistaken, there are no QB's who were drafted in the first three rounds ahead of him that currently have a starting job in the NFL.

If you're a defensive player during the end of the game when the offense has no timeouts and you do anything but immediately get back up and get off the player so they can spike it as fast as possible, then you should immediately get a delay-of-game penalty that also stops the clock

How? AP and Harvin is how lol

[@TheLocalLt]

dealyboyz eh that niners wasn’t that good, their 2011 and 2013 teams were better but those ones went up against stronger competition in the nfc title game. The niners were getting run out of the building by an average ravens team in the super bowl until the power outage

[@mkultra21]

Chuck Pagano on the Colts O-Line struggles: “They’ve been bad for three years now so he should know how to deal with it” That’s all you need to know

[@bowlchamps37]

Yeah, but the Colts never finished outside the top 10 from 2012-2018 in pressure% and clean pocket. Luck was also sacked the highest% of the time after 3secs. So he also held onto the ball a lot of times.

[@meeks6058]

2:48 he was never touched untill he step out. That could of be Andrew luck's first td in indy
