I think this will be a continuing trend among players.  Retiring early with your health is worth more than damaging your body beyond repair.   Make a few mil, get out and stick it in investments.  You really don't need more than a few mil to be set for life.

Good points.

Luck clipped $97 million (exclusive of endorsements) through the end of last year, leaves another $64 million on the table.

For perspective, Cam has clipped almost $105 million in salary alone.

Dude, he has nothing to prove to anyone. Calling him soft because he lost the love for the game? Nah. Got out while he's still young enough to enjoy life never having to work ever again. Trying to get out before his body is forever ruined.

If those mother fugers tank again for Lawrence in 2022.

Jesus, Luck has retired before RG3 AND Tom Brady...

Colts were projected to have a pretty solid team around Luck this year.   Pretty big blow to Indy.   

and to think, he could of been bailing on us if he came out when we wanted him to  

I mean guys can do what they want.  Once you got a couple mill you are simply sacrificing your body for a game.  Glad we got a QB in Carolina that won’t let you bench him with a broken back though.

I’ve been of the opinion since mid-season 2018 that Ron Rivera had squeezed every drop available out of Cam Newton through his abusive, moronic, 1960’s style offense mixed in with multiple “SAVE MY ASS CAM!” episodes over those years.  Used him up and drained him out.

I also repeatedly stated that I hoped I was wrong.

And if there is any player in NFL history that can prove me wrong, it’s Cam Fugging Newton.

You right man, its a big reason why i hate Ron so much. Good coach but never the RIGHT coach for Cam and long term. Ron should have been out the door last season.

Careful what all of you say here. 

Why? You think cam may do the same thing? Cam won't retire. He'd leave to go to a different team before that 

[CRA]

But it was pretty shitty to retire 2 weeks before the season starts.  I don’t think you can poo on guys for valuing health.  But Luck does deserve a reasonable amount of poo for the timing IMO

So do they scoop Kaepernick up from underneath our nose?

why? the guy just quit because he got "mentally worn down". 

The rumors surrounding our two stars from the same era. I’m not a superstitious person. Except when it comes to football.
