Gregg Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 NFL Rookie Watch on Twitter: "Andrew Luck will officially be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2024. Luck’s stats over his first six seasons in the NFL were mind BOGGLING. Luck had 171 passing TD’s (3rd all-time), trailing only Dan Marino and Patrick Mahomes. 23,671 passing yards (4th all-time), trailing… https://t.co/sl2KzHmkZz" / Twitter He was really good when he played. But he didn't play long enough to get in despite those impressive stats. IMHO. if I remember correctly injuries forced him into an early retirement. He took a lot of hits playing behind a bad Colts OL. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Ya he'll be an interesting player. No doubt he had HOF talent but the lack of years will hurt him 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ray Guy got in the HOF, I thought that would open the door for ST players. Tasker should get in IMHO. 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Andrew Luck should win something for his Civil War twitter act as Capt Luck or whatever he was. That was some funny stuff. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2018/09/05/captain-andrew-luck-parody-account-colts-qb-best-tweets/1202981002/ .

Jon in Pasadena Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 He can go into the "Hall of Fame of Players Who Had a Great First 6 Years in the League" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Terrell davis got in with the same number of years. But I don't think there is any chance Luck gets in. Not even if he gets lucky....the way he walked away I think is preceived a certain way even if it is unfair. Comparing his number to Allen....Luck completed 60.8% of his passes which would be considered bad today. His won/loss record was just above 500. I dont see mind boggling.....yes high for first few seasons but when you consider the changes in the game its not as impressive. Allen beats him in TD%, INT%, rushing...they are tied in Y/A. Both are 4-4 in playoffs but Lucks postseason stats blow, he threw more INT's than TD's. Comparing him to Allen has no bearing on HOF but he is not HOF worthy at all. If he put up 15 seasons, maybe. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The only short career player I’ve ever approved of being in the hall was Terrell Davis. He was dominant and won a ring. Luck would be a lock if he played a few more years and won a ring, but not with his body of work as is. Just now, Matt_In_NH said: Terrell davis got in with the same number of years.

thenorthremembers Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I like to visit the HOF it's a fun vacation spot. That said, the selection committee is bogus. Calvin Johnson was a 1st ballot and Terrell Owens was not, despite having 4,000 more yards and 60 more career touchdowns. Andrew Luck belongs nowhere near the hall of fame. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Luck has no business being in the hall of fame. ***** him. but i do appreciate it how he screwed over the colts by retiring early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Nope. Great skills. Put up solid numbers when he played. My personal criteria for HoF is: can you tell the story of the era of football they played without mentioning their name? If the answer is yes, then they don't belong. Luck was good, but never really moved the needle of the era IMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Nope. Liked watching him play, but he hasn’t done enough. He’s not even in the Colts ring of honor yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Might as well just leave the barn door open if they let him in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) A career 89.5 passer rating, 0 All-Pro selections, 0 championships. He ain't gettin in. Edited July 11, 2023 by Logic 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) When I watched OJ, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, or Payton Manning play, I knew I was privileged to observe a HOF talent do their work. I never felt that way about Luck, though I admit the stats are impressive. I vote no. Edited July 11, 2023 by hondo in seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It’s becoming the “hall of above average players” so, why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a good history piece on how Tanking doesn’t work in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
