Will Andrew Luck ever be inducted into the Ring Of Honor?

I vote no.

Fair or not (on merit), there is an emotional aspect that exists to Ring of Honors. There’s no magic number, etc that gets you in.

He left this organization on considerably different terms than his college coach Jim Harbaugh. The latter is in the Ring of Honor while the former is not and I’m completely happy with that.

Had Andrew Luck retired because he couldn't walk anymore or something, you'd still be disappointed... but it would be a completely different kind of disappointment. What are you going to do? He can't even walk.

But he voluntarily left. And he did it two weeks before the start of a season where we had real aspirations of doing some damage in the league. Probably a tough one for people to get over even after some time.

Potentially ugly ceremony.

Over the course of his career, Sanders played 48 games for the Colts. He was outstanding in them all.

Luck played 86 games, and I'd say he was outstanding in most of them.

Sure Luck leaves a bad taste in the mouth of many fans, but if the call were mine to make, they both get inducted.

Another factor is that after the Peyton years the bar for the RoH is much higher. It took 15 years for the Colts to induct Tarik Glenn in the RoH, and he was a damn good LT who pretty much locked the position down for 9 consecutive seasons.

As far as the OP question: I'm on the fence but leaning towards no. What he did on the field should probably put Luck in, but fucking over the team and retiring right before the season started was too bush league IMO. If he had done the team right and retired in the offseason then I would say he should be in the RoH.
