<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andrew-luck">Andrew Luck</a> is remembered as a great quarterback for the <strong>Colts from 2012 to 2018</strong>. Although he spent less than a decade with the franchise, he set several important personal and team records. Despite all of his accomplishments, he recently confessed <strong>something painful that was a key part</strong> of his NFL retirement.</p>



<p>In a recent article for The Athletic, Luck opened up about his early retirement at the age of 29, after only seven years as a starting quarterback and with a total of <strong>23,671 passing yards.</strong> He described his retirement not as a personal disappointment, but in terms of its <strong>effect on his teammates.</strong></p>



<p>Luck confessed to reporter Zak Keefer that, <em>“I’ll always have guilt about how it ended,”</em> adding that he felt <strong><em>“I let my teammates down.”</em></strong> He said he wanted to continue playing with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a>, but his body was physically unable to go on.</p>



<h2>Luck Wanted to Play for a Long Time</h2>



<p>In his conversation with Keefer for The Athletic, Luck not only talked about how bad he felt about his early retirement but also about his desire to play until he was an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> veteran. <em><strong>“I was gonna play until I was 40 or 45,”</strong></em> he said, thinking that his body would be able to withstand it for 20 or more years. “<em>You think you’re invincible. At least I did.”</em></p>

<p>Keefer wrote about Luck’s struggles after retirement: <em>“He tried moving on. A game would flash across the TV and he’d groan.<strong> He’d have dreams about football, </strong>and his old life, and everything he’d left behind. For a while it felt like he was in a fog. I can’t be 30 years old and retired, he’d tell himself. This is ridiculous.”</em></p>



<h2>How It All Ended for Luck</h2>



<p>Following a career-best 2016 season where<strong> he threw for over 4,200 yards and 31 touchdowns</strong>, Luck’s career took a dramatic turn. Despite signing a record-breaking contract, he underwent surgery to repair an issue with his right throwing shoulder that had been bothering him since 2015. The surgery proved to be the beginning of the end.</p>



<p>Luck missed the entire 2017 season due to lingering shoulder problems, which required him to <strong>seek additional treatment in Europe</strong>. Despite reports that he wouldn’t need a second surgery, the continuous pain and lengthy rehabilitation ultimately led to his surprise retirement just before the 2019 season.</p>

<p>The <strong>Stanford Cardinal</strong> definitely had a season to forget, winning only three games and accumulating a total of twelve losses in the regular season. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andrew-luck">Andrew Luck</a></strong>, who currently serves as the program’s GM, warned about what’s to come in the <strong>NCAAF</strong> and how he plans to integrate athletes with their careers within the program.</p>


        


<p>The former Indianapolis Colts player spoke with <em>cbssports.com</em> and made it clear that, although his team hasn’t had strong performances recently, they are ready to make an impact in the upcoming season and, why not, dream of going far in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">College Football</a>.</p>



<p><em>“Football just matters more in this country,”</em> Luck said. <em><strong>“We know perhaps we haven’t been playing enough of the game. And we’re starting to play the game and we’re going to be there.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Additionally, Luck stated to the press that they will not only be striving for athletic achievements but also maintaining high standards academically: <em>“We’re working diligently to prepare for the post-House era, and we absolutely intend to be competitive while maintaining the academic rigor and standards that are important to the university,”</em> he said.</p>

<p><em>“I’m not sure it’s [negotiations] part of the job that lent itself most naturally to my personality, to say the least,”</em> Luck also added. <em>“At heart, a part of me is still a player, right? … On principle, I believe in the renumeration of college football players.”</em></p>

<h2>The relevance of the GM role at Stanford, according to Luck’s opinion</h2>



<p>Andrew Luck is a man of the house; he knows the program, played in the NCAAF wearing those colors, and now has the opportunity to take on a different role, but he embraces it as a new challenge.</p>



<p>Being the new general manager of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanford">Stanford Cardinal</a>, in Luck’s view, is something different from other programs: <em>“I do think our position of general manager is substantially different than most GMs in the country because of the needs of Stanford now,”</em> Luck told <em>CBS Sports</em>. <strong><em>“We do believe in scholar-athletes, still.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Additionally, he stated that he gets more involved than usual to avoid placing too much pressure on the current head coach, Troy Taylor. <strong><em>“Part of it is trial by fire,”</em></strong> he said.</p>


        


<p><em>“Hopping in in the middle of the transfer portal has been as good as an education as anything. I’m fired up for Troy. Part of what I’m doing is taking a lot off his plate. <strong>It’s too much for a head coach to do X amount of unique negotiations with players contracts or agents or representatives.</strong>“</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a></strong> is widely regarded as the <strong>greatest <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> quarterback</strong> ever. However, <strong>one of his former teammates</strong> at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a></strong> believes there was <strong>one player better than the seven-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> champion</strong>.</p>



<p>For many fans and analysts, there’s <strong>no one quite like Tom Brady</strong>. Winning <strong>six Super Bowls</strong> with the <strong>Patriots</strong> and <strong>one more</strong> with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buccaneers</a></strong>, he’s shown he can <strong>succeed anywhere, with anyone</strong>.</p>



<p>Nearly all of his former teammates acknowledge <strong>Brady</strong> as the <strong>GOAT</strong>. However, it appears one of them believed there was <strong>someone even more talented</strong> than the legendary quarterback.</p>



<h2>Philip Dorsett thinks Tom Brady is not the most talented QB in NFL history</h2>



<p><strong>Playing alongside Tom Brady</strong> should be considered one of the <strong>best experiences</strong> for any player. However, <strong>Philip Dorsett was not very impressed by the seven-time Super Bowl champion</strong> during his tenure with the Patriots.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nba/patrick-mahomes-tom-brady-take-sides-for-2024-nba-finals-between-mavs-and-celtics"></div>


<p><strong>Philip Dorsett</strong>, a standout wide receiver, recently discussed his career on “The Money Down Podcast.” When asked about the <strong>most talented quarterback</strong> he had played with, he <strong>didn’t name Tom Brady</strong> but instead chose <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andrew-luck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Luck</a></strong>.</p>



<p><em><strong>“Andrew was amazing,”</strong></em> Dorsett said. <em>“I always say this to everybody — people ask me, because <strong>they know I played with Tom</strong> — they was like, <strong>‘Dang, who was the best quarterback you played with?’</strong> I be like, ‘Be honest with you,<strong> when it comes to talent, it was Andrew Luck</strong>, for sure.&apos;”</em></p>



<p>The wide receiver entered the league in 2015 when the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> used their 1st-round pick to select him</strong>. He spent <strong>two years</strong> playing alongside <strong>Andrew Luck</strong> before joining the <strong>Patriots for three years</strong>, gaining extensive <strong>experience with both quarterbacks</strong>.</p>

<p><strong><em>“Talent-wise, Andrew was different,” </em></strong>Dorsett said. <em>“He was just a <strong>natural born leader</strong>, he was still young, and the way he carried himself, you would think this man was a 10-year vet.</em></p>



<p><em>“<strong>He was tough as hell</strong>. He had a strong arm, was smart, was accurate. It’s just injuries. It was football. <strong>Sometimes you get hurt, you get tired of getting hurt</strong>.”</em></p>



<h2>Why did Andrew Luck retire?</h2>



<p>Andrew Luck is one of those players <strong>everyone wished had played longer</strong>. As Dorsett mentioned, the quarterback had <strong>remarkable talent</strong>, but he decided to leave football to <strong>avoid major injuries</strong>.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230922#BUS#66597"></div>


<p>In <strong>2019</strong>, Luck announced his <strong>retirement</strong> from football at the <strong>age of 29</strong>. He had suffered <strong>numerous injuries in his final years</strong>, with doctors recommending he leave football before <strong>something worse happened</strong>.</p>

<p>In the last few years, Jim Irsay and the Colts tried to replace Luck with veteran quarterbacks such as <strong>Philip Rivers</strong> and <strong>Matt Ryan</strong>. Now, they picked <strong>Anthony Richardson</strong> in the 2023 NFL Draft as their big prospect for the future.</p>

<p>Currently, <strong>Andrew Luck</strong> is coaching at Palo Alto High School in California.

<h2>Captain Andrew Luck appears in 49ers vs Giants game</h2>



<p>When <strong>Andrew Luck</strong> was still playing, a Twitter parody account became famous in the <strong>NFL</strong> by narrating the quarterback’s performances from a Civil War captain’s perspective.</p>







<p>The name was <strong>Captain Andrew Luck</strong> and, through heartfelt letters, the fictional character wrote to his mother about his adventures in the NFL and became a sensation in the United States. Unfortunately, the owner of the account decided to stop publishing weekly when Luck retired.</p>



<p>In a shocking turn of events, during Amazon Prime Video postgame show, Andrew Luck made a special appearance with <strong>Charissa Thompson</strong>, Tony Gonzalez, Ryan Fitzpatrick and <strong>Richard Sherman</strong>. </p>

<p>Luck cited the multiple injuries he suffered throughout his brief – yet promising – career as the reason behind his decision, claiming that, as hard as it was for him to walk away; <strong>he had to look out for himself:</strong></p>

<h2>5. Andrew Luck – 6 years, $139M</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163289_andrew_luck_crop1594238256736.jpg_1030179834_07439ddf.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Luck entered the league in 2012.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Andrew Luck</strong> broke millions of hearts when he suddenly announced his retirement from the NFL weeks after the start of last year’s regular season, especially considering how invested the Indianapolis Colts were on him as their cornerstone for the future.</p>
<p>The former 1st overall pick had proved his worth as a dual-threat quarterback during his time in the league, thus the team signed him to a huge <strong>6-year extension in 2016.</strong> Sadly, injuries riddled his career and his desire to stay in the gridiron.</p>
<h2>4. Russell Wilson – 4 years, $140M</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163289_russell_wilson_crop1594238444052.jpg_1030179834_20b6dd75.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Wilson is a 7-time Pro-Bowler. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It didn’t take long before <strong>Russell Wilson </strong>took his place as one of the league’s top-tier quarterbacks. The former 75th overall pick proved his doubters wrong and led the Seattle Seahawks to a couple of Super Bowls, winning one of them.</p>
<p>Wilson set the standardfor dual-threat quarterbacks in the league right now. He’s mobile, agile, durable, and is a master at making plays out of nothing. That’s why the Seahawks inked him to a deal that got him<strong> $35 million a year.</strong></p>
<h2>3. Khalil Mack – 6 years, $141M</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163289_khalil_mack_crop1594238604502.jpg_1030179834_539c2485.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   The Raiders traded Mack to the Bears in 2018. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Khalil Mack</strong> is the only player that’s not a quarterback on this list. That’s just how incredibly good and dominant he is. He’s the highest-paid defender in the history of football and by a very long stretch.</p>
<p>Mack is a game-changer. He’s the kind of guy every franchise on earth would die for, and the Bears want him anchoring their defense for many more years to come. Thus, they’re paying him <strong>$23.5 million a year.</strong></p>
<h2>2. Matt Ryan – 5 years, $150M</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163289_matt_ryan_crop1594238705895.jpg_1030179834_1e45f545.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Ryan was the 3rd overall pick in 2008. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Matt Ryan</strong> is constantly among the league’s leaders in passing yards, rating, passing touchdowns, and completions, even though there are still some questions about his ability to lead a winning football team.</p>
<p>The Falcons were pretty sold on him after his MVP season and had no doubt on their minds that ‘Matty Ice’ was their guy going forward. They’re paying him <strong>$30 million a year</strong>, a move many people questioned at the time.</p>
<h2>1. Patrick Mahomes – 10 years, $477M</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163289_patrick_mahomes__crop1594239051078.jpg_1030179834_f1e51d9c.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   His dadwas an MLB pitcher and made slightly over $2M over an 11-year career.

<p></p></div>
<p>Is it crazy to say that a guy that’s about to get half a billion dollars isn’t overpaid? Well, that’s just how good <strong>Patrick Mahomes </strong>is. It seems like no number is too high for him as he has a legit shot at ending up being the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl/Top-50-greatest-quarterbacks-in-NFL-history-20200522-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> greatest quarterback of all time</a>. That’s why no one is criticizing this deal, which could gethim as much as $503 million with bonuses.</p>
<p>Mahomes has been in the league since 2017. He alreadyled the league in passing touchdowns, has 76 career touchdowns,9,412 passing yards, 2 Pro-Bowl selections, 1 MVP, 1 Offensive Player of the Year award, 1 Super Bowl, and 1 Super Bowl MVP. He’s just 24 years old and salary cap numbers are always going to keep rising. <strong>Believe it or not, the Chiefs got a bargain.</strong></p>
