Marve Retires

[trueBlue83]

Just announced on TSN morning show..... retired due to medical issues at the recommendation of doctors.

 

I guess he won't be the one to push Willy!

[iHeart]

sigh.....

[Rich]

Good luck to him in his post-football career.  

 

Have to look out for your health when you can.

[Bigblue204]

Too bad when your body forces you to retire before you want to. But that's life I guess. Good luck to him.

[IC Khari]

Hoping he has a Mmmmmmmmarvelous retirement.

[HardCoreBlue]

Good luck to him in his post-football career.

Yes health #1 as well as good for him in recognizing the importance of knowing football isn't forever.

Even factoring in youthful enthusiasm, you have to question Marve's common sense in trying for a pro football career with knee problems as bad as his were and probably still still are. Personally, I would rather be able to walk around pain-free and be able to squat on a throne than risk fully destroying my knee(s) playing or trying to play for a minor league for peanuts.

[Fatty Liver]

Sad.  Was it confirmed that the injury was related to previous knee operations?

[Brandon]

It was somewhat inevitable and so many people called it when they first signed the guy.   Hopefully in the future they will go after younger qbs who are healthy...

[Noeller]

Amazing how fast he's gone from people around here talking about him being the future of the league, to being retired....unreal.

I assume it's pretty hard to give up on your dream.

[bearpants]

Good for him... it must be hard for a 26 year old to admit that his body can't keep up with his dream...

Good luck Robert. 

[johnzo]

Good luck to him. He's leaving us with a couple unforgettable highlights.

I pegged him as a good car salesman.....at least better than Dominick Picard.

I would guess this job opportunity may have had a stronger affect on his decision than the injuries... either way, all the best to him...

[basslicker]

Good luck Robert.

When Brohm leaves there will be a few "forgettable" highlights

[trueBlue83]

hey, if guys could catch with their ankles, Brohm would be on the highlight reel every week!

[SPuDS]

Good luck in future endevours Mr.Marve. shame your knees betrayed you. Good on the kid for trying and even better on him for walking away while he still could. Very hard choice to make.

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Sad to hear this news. I had him as our GC quarterback
