One QB has been drafted since Luck who also has played in the AFCCG.

 

Only one QB has been drafted since Luck has made the NFCCG.

Was he touted only as a comparison to players selected with him or after him?  Or was he touted compared with previous great prospects?

If he stays healthy all year...I see him throwing 35 TD’s.

 

On a GOOD team, he could be awesome. The Colts are not a good team. I feel sorry for the guy. Kind of an Archie Manning in a way. Talent surrounded by lack of talent.

Is it really an excuse or just a time table of expectations based off of his injury history? I think that taking those factors into consideration you can lessen the need for panic until you get deeper into the season. It's not like Andrew Luck tore his ACL or some other injury in week 1 of 2017 where he at least got a full off-season's worth of training in and then came back during OTA's. Luck's injury was serious enough where he didn't do any football activities until this years training camp. 

 

It's possible he won't ever be the same QB he once was. But he is likely to take some time to come back to form if he is on the comeback trail. I don't know what 1984 type treatment you are talking about but if you are saying he gets over hyped then you have an argument but my points were more so just taking into account the type of injury he had and the possible time table for him to give you enough of a sample size to know how well he is coming back.  

He was never the QB he "once was" because Kim Jung QB is the bestest there ever was.  He never made a mistake.

Are we finally out of excuses for the best prospect in the history of history?  Right now would you take Luck over:

 

Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Wentz, Watson, Mahomes, Goff, Carr?

 

How about Rosen, Jimmy G, Trubiniski, even Talleywhacker, Mariota, Bortles?

 

He has Winston beat.  maybe Prescott.  Definitely better than Connor Cook.

 

Top prospect ever? LOL

It seems to be a good time to start this with the Colts preseason game being featured on MNF.  

 

He was hurt last year and got European treatment which took a while so there was really only one 2017 excuse and no need for a thread.  The 2016 thread was a doozy with everything but the Loch Ness monster being blamed.

 

All arrows seem seem to be pointing up for 2018 but I'm sure there will be some reasons for the turnovers and 4th and 1 incompletions to wide open guys.

 

I think the leading candidate is that the Titans, Jags, and Texans are all much stronger than the last time he saw them.  Then again, Brisset swept the Texans.

Why don't you make a thread like this for Josh Allen.

 

Aside from the macro excuse that "he is being ruined" this year by playing, we have heard:

 

1) The OL is terrible!  He'll get killed!

2) Our WRs are terrible!  Give him someone to throw to!

 

Today we also got: 

 

3) The referees are terrible and all the calls are going against us!

 

and

 

4) The routes our receivers are running are terrible!  We need new route trees!

And of course we can always blame it on

One might think it is because Allen played his fourth game today but one would be wrong.

 

Perhaps it is because Luck was treated as if he would become the Gretzky of the NFL and he hasn't resembled anything close.  And none of it all is ever his fault.

 

Reich is getting skewered for trying to win, perhaps deservedly so.  Nobody seems to be pointing out that Luck bounced a 6 yard out when the chips were down.......again.

That is on the head coach for even going for it on 4th down. You just have something against Luck. 

Lol head coach's fault he bounced a 6 yard pass in crunch time.  Good one,. Bad decision by the coach or not, the play was there to be made.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe yesterday could be a turning point for Luck.  Reich demonstrated that he is going to try to win and Andrew has to step up in that regard.  Yes, he flopped by missing an easy pass, but sometimes failing is the best way to learn.  If he knows he won't be coddled, maybe he will step up.
