4merper4mer Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Kim Jung QB won't be participating when the Colts visit OP next week because he is dinged up. It doesn't look like anything too serious though and he should be ready to start the season. When 2018 ended for the greatest prospect in football history it was at the hands of a legendary Chiefs defense who got hot at the right time. Boy were they awesome. This was unfortunate for Luck because the Chiefs D was really bad almost every week in 2018 and bad again in the AFCCG the very next week. They really didn't stop anyone but the Colts all year. It's another in a long list of anamolies that have kept KJQB's greatness from producing actual results. Without question, like in previous years, anything that goes wrong for the Colts this year will not be Luck's fault. This thread can be used to document what goes wrong. 1 1 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) OP is mad because we didn't "suck for Luck" and instead went 6-10 with the ridiculous hope that the middling Fitzpatrick could be a top tier quarterback. I kind of agree with him. Edited August 1, 2019 by Doc Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Billieve Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'm not sure people are making excuses for him anymore. Think his star has faded. Used to be he was the consensus pick as the future best QB in the NFL after a few retirements. Now he would barely get mentioned and probably just from nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Andrew Luck is 53-33 as a starter with 4 playoff appearances in 6 seasons(I think). He's won at least one playoff game in 3/4 appearances. He's thrown for over 4000 yards in all but one FULL season and averaged over 30 TD'S/year. Also has 14 career rushing TD's. I have absolutely no idea what this thread is supposed to mean. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is supposed to mean. From some of these responses it sounds like the OP has a history here of some fun stuff. What I think he means is why can't a player with the stats you mentioned elevate his team to the next level (Super Bowl). Reality is, most people don't put Luck in elite status anymore and those are really the only ones that could do it eventually by themselves. For the 99% of the rest of the situations you need a complete team. Luck is getting closer and it still might not be enough. It wasn't for the Bills at a much higher level. I will agree, I do think Luck does have some choke in his game. I would think with a more complete team they should have a group that could go to the Super Bowl. I just don't think he will ever get there, more of a feeling than stats with that. Edited August 1, 2019 by KzooMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe AFC Championship. He hasn't reached elite status, but he's also never had a particularly strong team around him. He hasn't quite lived up to the hype, but he's a top notch QB. What this has to do with the Bills is beyond me. I actually like around the league threads, but this is a total reach and seems odd. He's clearly not a bust. He's had some injuries that have derailed his ascent. I just don't see a story here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TtownBillsFan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Anyone 'reputing' him to be "much more" than the next "Manning - I'm guessing Peyton, not Eli", was a moron. Peyton, in my opinion, is/was the best QB to ever play the NFL game. It was HOPED that Luck might achieve similar greatness, but that's such a lofty goal that even falling short can still put you in the Hall. I wouldn't kick Luck out of my NFL bed, even now. And I love me some Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Holmes Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I really wanted to suck for Luck coming out, then wanted Kuechly after I knew we weren't going to be able to get him... Thought he would be the GOAT. I'm thinking Allen is going to live up to what I expected from Luck. Definitely runs faster and better already and loved Luck's mobility coming out. Has a better arm than Luck, now just needs to get that accuracy a consistant thing and he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
