Andrew Luck excuse thread 2019


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Did you write your post before or after you took your heroin shot? Weren't you warned about the perils of mixing in fentanyl? When in a stupor sometimes lucidity can be very elusive.

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.

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.

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.

It means the OP needs new spectacles.   

 

Andrew Luck is a stud.

Oh heck, this thread needs some “ Juice”

Cam Newton Career completion percentage:

Andrew Luck 

60.8?!?!?

 

because, you know, Luck is a much better QB

1.1 percentage points over a career is not insignificant.

Luck isn't usually a high completion passer and he does turn the ball over a lot.

 

But I think overall he's a QB you can win with. Even a Superbowl if you have the right team around him. I just don't think he's lived up to (or ever will) being the next Peyton Manning people were sure he would be. And that goes beyond just the injuries.

No issue here. I love it! I’m no Luck fan. He’s strange as hell and speaks like he has a mouthful of Crayonz. I admired Peyton, but wish nothing but ill will on Irsay for stealing the 4mer Baltimore Colts and making them Indy’s Little Rainbow Ponies.

He wasn't billed as the next Manning.  He was reputed to be much more than that.

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 :)

I’m pretty proud I actually pulled off the math I did without having to ask my kid how to do it?

Much more than a top 5 QB in NFL history? That's bogus.

He's a very talented QB who didn't have the best coaching early on so he continued to make the same mistakes over and over, but he still was a QB who could lead his team.  He also had sketchy talent around him, especially on the OL.  Last year with Reich was his first with a top notch HC and better protection, and he blossomed.  Let's see how far he can go -- if his calf strain is simply that and not an Achilles injury

I actually like Luck a lot. He's a good player and an awesome person on and off the field. He may continue to blossom. We'll see.

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.

That's it.  This is the excuse thread.  Good job.
