NFL fans are debating if ex-Indianapolis Colts’ star quarterback Andrew Luck belongs in the Hall of Fame, nearly four years after he announced his retirement.

The NFL Rookie Watch Twitter account brought up Luck’s career stats and accomplishments, noting that he’ll be Hall of Fame eligible next year. Luck stunned the football world when he retired shortly before the 2019 season, and a month prior to his 30th birthday.

Andrew Luck will officially be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2024.

Luck’s stats over his first six seasons in the NFL were mind BOGGLING.

Luck had 171 passing TD’s (3rd all-time), trailing only Dan Marino and Patrick Mahomes.

This led to a debate among football fans on social media. Needless to say, the overwhelming majority simply don’t appear to be buying the idea that he’ll get in.

He’s in my hall of fame, but unfortunately shouldn’t be in the NFL HOF. If he’s chosen I won’t be mad though. ?

If Theismann not in then no chance

He quit to early. Not enough for HOF
— Martin NFL (Colts) Leeds United (@mhbecerranfl) July 9, 2023

Career wasn’t long enough. Unfortunate since he almost certainly would’ve been in the hall if he hadn’t retired early.

Very good QB, but no chance at HoF.

No Super Bowl wins or appearances
No MVPs
Never led his team to a #1 seed
Never had over 11 wins in reg season
Didn’t play long enough

As a Colts fan I loved having him and it’s Grigson and Pagano’s fault that he got beat up so bad. With that said…he walked away WAY Too early to even be considered for the HOF.

Andrew Luck was my favorite QB during the 2010s. I watched him from Stanford and onto his time with Indy. As much as his stats are extraordinary during a short amount of time, he does not deserve to be in the hall of fame. We can label him as the greatest that never was though

It’s definitely hard to envision Luck earning his place in Canton, given how short his career was. Some will point out that Denver Broncos’ legend Terrell Davis got in even though his career was cut short by injuries, as he had just four healthy seasons.

But Davis also won two Super Bowl championships, Super Bowl 32 MVP honors, two Offensive Player of the Year Awards and the 1998 league MVP. Davis twice led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and earned 1990s All-Decade Team honors.

I’m a huge Colts fan. He was amazing but the short career makes him a non HOF for me. With that being said, we could roll this guy out there with any roster and he gave us a chance to win. All love Andrew.

MVP-winning quarterbacks like Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason and Joe Theismann (the latter won a Super Bowl with Washington) aren’t in the Hall of Fame. Without the individual accolades and longevity, it’s going to be awfully difficult for the Stanford product to earn a spot in Canton.
