The Andrew Luck saga is taking a strange turn. While no one has yet to (on purpose) publicly blame the QB for his issues, behind closed doors it seems like people with power in the Indianapolis Colts organization are doing it.
According to Bob Kravitz of WTHR, the latest issue stems from remarks made by former Colts coach Tony Dungy, who was making an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.
During a cut-in during a commercial break, when Dungy didn’t realize he was on air, he told Patrick that Irsay believes the things holding Luck back are mental rather than physical.
That is a STUNNING thing to believe or even just tell someone you believe to be true.
“I don’t know what’s going on there,” Dungy said. “Jim Irsay made a comment to me about six weeks ago, ‘It’s inside his head now.'”
When Patrick followed up with surprise, Dungy replied:
“Yeah, he [Irsay] said that when I was out [in Indianapolis] for Peyton [Manning]’s ceremony.”
If you go back in time a bit, as PFT did here, you can see the hints of Irsay feeling this way:
“It’s been said before, all sports is played on a 4-inch field between your ears,” Irsay said on Aug. 13. “It’s really important we continue to help Andrew emotionally, mentally, get his confidence and his endorsement, deep down his rubber stamp [in] his heart of hearts because in the end, that carries the biggest weight.”
This is going to end poorly. Very, very poorly.
