AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 When you think about all the concussion issues he has had this really isn't that surprising. Kcroy420, Alcibiades, TitanHeart2020, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 He's knocked the hell out of a lot of people, but he had to use his body to do it. It's a brutal sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaddKarma Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Smart, but I bet its 5 years to late. Dude has had some serious post concussion issues. TitanHeart2020, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Not worth it to stick around for that Carolina rebuild with the amateur hour staff with the concussions he’s endured. Edited January 15, 2020 by tgo heyitsmeallen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 This is the right move for him, but I will definitely miss watching him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Wow. Definitely unexpected. I imagine we’ll start seeing this more and more often....elite players walking away with their financial future completely secured and their bodies and brains still intact. Luck made that decision right before the season opener....now Keuchly’s doing the same . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaltitan Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Tough to see him step away. I remember wanting him bad that year in the draft. It's initially shocking to hear. Guy's only 28, but he's had some major concussions. Andrew Luck Luke Kuechly Calvin Johnson Gronk Patrick Willis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 What do you guys give the NFL? 20 years? Parents are already transitioning kids away from football. I know it seems like we talk about this every year, and the league is still wildly the most popular thing going. But, is it doomed? CTE and concussions really started getting attention 5 or so years ago. I'm guessing in the next 15 years we'll see a big dropoff. More and more it's the poorest kids who are getting into the game and the other kids getting into soccer, hockey, baseball, MMA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
