How did Luck get this beat up and yet Brady and Brees are still playing seemingly fine? My brother who's a Colts fan says the o line just did a terrible job protecting him... |
Combination of horrendous offensive line and a clueless medical staff. They had him playing through a shoulder injury thinking it was just a pain issue and giving him shots to numb the pain. It was over a year before they realized he had torn cartilage and needed surgery. And then setbacks in rehab cost him the whole season.
Brady and Brees have always had good lines around them and a great coaching staff. The Colts staff that was around when Luck was getting killed, wouldn’t even make adjustments to protect him during games. If he’d had Reich and that line a few seasons earlier he might still be playing, even with that terrible medical staff.
