Why is everyone so sure about Andrew Luck?

sideloaded · 10-26-11, 02:56 PM

Have you seen some of the starting qb's in the nfl? Doesn't take much to outshine most of them.

I was thinking the same thing. They talk like he is a proven NFL veteran.

DrStale · 10-26-11, 03:05 PM

Just watching the guy play he looks like an NFL QB to me. He has the size, the arm and the intelligence. As with anything else nothing is a sure thing but he is as close as it gets IMO.

thetrinity · 10-26-11, 03:07 PM

i dont get this either. so many of these cant miss qbs buckle under the pressure. not saying he wont be great, but its far from a sure thing.

paco · 10-26-11, 03:09 PM

I hope he says **** it and says he wants to play baseball

Exactly man. People just are hating just to hate like usual.

Glitch · 10-26-11, 03:11 PM

you guys obviously havent watched him very much if youre asking this question. its his skillset. deadly accurate, strong, smart, play-maker. that will do at any level.

Don't mean to hate. I just don't remember any college player ever being talked about like he is a ticket to a winning NFL team like this.

BigDan · 10-26-11, 03:13 PM

Try watching him play a few gms then come back with the right answer.. he makes all the throws, he is smart, great field presence, been running a pro system for years already, honestly dont see what isnt to like...

Tech N9ne · 10-26-11, 03:14 PM

i would tank my whole season just to get him if i were colts, dolphins, or rams

he is the next payton manning

big0mar · 10-26-11, 03:14 PM

No flaws in this kid's game

Greatest football prospect ever

The reason he never played a down in the NFL is because he is still playing in college.

Ice House · 10-26-11, 03:16 PM

i'm not sold on him. obviously something is wrong with him if he turned down 20 million guaranteed to stay in college and study. i think he might be a bust.

there is no question though that Cam Newton is much better than Luck. Luck did the Panthers a huge favor by staying in college.

Dad · 10-26-11, 03:23 PM

The next best thing since Reggie Bush?

P.F.Kasooff · 10-26-11, 03:24 PM

'cause he is a 'white' kid. If he was black there would be the usual doubts

seaborneq · 10-26-11, 03:36 PM

One word. Stanford. What they did to va tech in the bowl game on both sides of the ball and still being in the natl champion picture the next season? Hook my wagon to him yesterday. I'll take my chance with him over any college qbs and half the ones in the NFL taking snaps now.

DemoralizdDreamr · 10-26-11, 03:45 PM

Put him up against Palmer, Painter, WhiteHurst, McNabb, Tebow, Garrett, Flacco..... Ill put my money on him.

jgray · 10-26-11, 03:49 PM

I think you are confusing sure vs "sure thing." Let's ask this question instead. Who would you rather draft #1 overall? He seems to have the least risk and given he plays the most important and irreplacable position on the field most GM's would select him first. They are most "sure" about him. Could he bust? Sure. As we all know, there are no sure things...

Glitch · 10-26-11, 03:59 PM

plus he can check-down like nobodys business. very tough to keep him from converting a third down.

That's what people said about all the previous BUSTS too.

You should see the scouting reports on JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf. It's laughable.

What are you talking about? There were plenty of questions regarding the ability of Russell and Leaf.

Can you point out any flaws in Luck's game???

What the hell does color have to do with it?

MendozaLine · 10-26-11, 05:13 PM

If the Carolina Panthers had the option to trade Newton for Luck right now, they would do it in a heartbeat. Pull your head out of your ass.

dfberger23 · 10-26-11, 05:15 PM

Got a gut feeling that he will be a bust.

jonal · 10-26-11, 05:16 PM

Cause he is smart as hell, doesn't freakout under pressure, tall, can run/move in the pocket, and can throw the ball with pinpoint accuracy. He ain't no Ryan Leaf. This isn't rocket science.

MendozaLine · 10-26-11, 05:20 PM

What is your point? The biggest bust in NFL history played in the SEC. The best QB in the NFL played in the Pac 10. You fail.

This

Also his father was an NFL QB (and current D1 AD) so the kid's been around the game at a high level his whole life. Not all kids around the game make it big but none of those kids have this kind of size and talent.

VegasInsider · 10-26-11, 05:28 PM

Luck = Lock

GM's polled, majority said they would take Leaf over Manning.

There's always questions about everything if you want to make questions.

Luck has beat ZERO elite teams in his life. Playing against bunch of Scrubs in the PAC 10 where they play no D.

Put him on the Browns, he won't do shit there for ten years.

Has nothing to do with the SEC or the pac 10 from 5 years ago , every team in the PAC 12 THIS YEARRRR has a soft defense

These teams are doing well at tanking the season so far. I think they agree wih you...

About 4 times this year , if this guy was in the SEC his numbers wont even be close to what they are
