He quit on nobody in the middle of competition.
I don't think Luck "quit" on anybody given his physical/mental situation, but he retired one week before the start of the season, not "after the season". If he has retired "after the season" the Colts would have had time to make adjustments instead of wasting a season before being able to reset their roster. Luck retired between the last preseason game and the first regular season game, pretty unsettling for the team to lose their starting QB at that point, not that different from Biles quitting between the the preliminary and final rounds of the team competition; unfortunate but others took her place and actually performed well. Neither situation was good, but in any case I don't think Luck or Biles felt they had a real choice in their minds, which is what really matters.
