Tua needs to hang it up, it’s his decision but as someone that has been personally victimized by him(UGA fan) he seems like a really good guy who’s clearly marching down a path of pain with his physical health and I don’t want to read a story about his suicide in 8 years

I’m a Colts fan who was supremely bummed out when Luck retired. And really, we haven’t been very good since. It sucks.
But he’s a good guy, and he was getting absolutely obliterated out there. I don’t begrudge his decision for a second. I’m glad he’s going to be able to live the rest of his life with intact ribs and ankles and stuff.
I think Tua should do the same. It’s one thing to have your bones hurt forever. It’s another to have your brain turned to scrambled eggs and either eat from a straw for the rest of your life or end up going all Hernandez and killing someone and then yourself. It’s not worth it.
Mad respect for Luck. I know the discs in his back were messed up but at least he got out while he still has quality of life.
I agree that, while I love football, we don't need any more Aaron Hernandez, Jovan Belcher, or Junior Seau situations.
