He'll be back

I think he will as well. Part of me believes he's tired of dicking around with the Colts and Jim Irsay. Not to demean any addicts here, but Irsay seems to be a guy who is always high on something. 

Wouldn't be surprised to see him back next spring. Only reason the Colts not recouping $16.5 million makes sense.

Perhaps he retired to get treatment otherwise banned by the NFL such as a steroid or HGH for his Achilles injury (not a calf strain, come on guys, this isn't Madden 97 where literally every injury was a calf strain). Him retiring would mean he's not subject to drug testing and he could get the treatment he otherwise may not be allowed to have. Colts allow him to keep his paid salary in acknowledging he will be back at some point this season or next spring.

I think that's just a human emotion when you see somebody with such insane talent either not using it or quitting.  I bet being in such elite company gets lonely and it becomes frustrating how few people there are in the entire world who truly understand how you feel.  Like the guy in your avatar started one of the most successful, influential bands of all time and is lauded as a genius but he still had his reasons for quitting Pink Floyd.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
