Pat McAfee Reacts To Andrew Luck Finally Explaining Why He Retired 3 Years After

Andrew Luck basically did what we all wish we could. He retired before his body and mind failed him with loads of money in the bank, and was able to prioritize his family instead of gaining the whole world, but losing his soul.

Luck’s early retirement was a decision made based on two things. Longevity and quality of life. He loves his family more than he loved football. Period. Admirable.

Hopefully Luck is a lesson to coaches and front offices that no matter how big and talented your quarterback is, ya gotta protect them. A shame Andrew retired so early, but any respectable fan would understand why he had to.

I still remember his playoff run in his rookie season. He picked up the fumble and made a crucial td. Dude was tough as nail and just solid man overall, not just as a player.

Andrew Luck also performed in a tough era of college football. He seems like an amazing dude highly intelligent and with a conscience of an angel.

Andrew Luck held so much promise and had the makings to be amongst the elite quarterbacks of the nfl. It’s a shame the incompetency of Grigson and Irsay ruined any chance of Andrew Luck to be truly great.

Luck's story is right up there with the greatest what ifs of the NFL, when he retired it finally seemed like he got a great team around him.

I’m a bears fan but can honestly say this is one big reason that Aaron Rogers is so good for so long. He’s has absolutely no big distractions for him to be one of the best QBs today. I wish Mr Andrew Luck all the best for his life after football. Go enjoy your children, wife and family young sir.

10:59 I feel like I may be easily impressed because I was incredibly impressed with that whistle from Pat lol It sounded like it was played of a soundboard/phone, not someone just naturally busted it out on a whim mid conversation

I was shocked when he retired, but no matter how great and tough you are, there are things you have to give up to be a QB1 in the NFL. He made the right decision. I'm so glad I got to see him play in person at Lucas Oil Stadium. There are few professions that allow you time with your family. I'm not in one, and my family suffered for it. I get it. I was just shocked at the time because he was so young. I'm glad he made the right decision.
