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...

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...

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...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 HOF talent, but too short to be a HOF career.

Well, for this chapter I would label it "inconclusive". I do believe that had he kept playing Luck may have ended up with a Super Bowl appearance or two. However, for the most part I do agree with you. Football is too unpredictable a sport to rely on that "one guy" coming in, being what he was supposed to be, staying healthy and surrounding him with the players, coaches and system for them to be worth a true tank. And even then you have to worry about teams like KC, Philly, Buffalo ect that will build something better and you have to overcome all that in a single elimination playoff scenario.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The three most comparable players would have to be Gale Sayers, Tony Boselli, and Terrell Davis. All great talents at their time but without longevity. Luck was as impactfull as all of these players. I would argue he is a better candidate than guys like Lynn Swann or some other mediocre players that have made the HOF. That said I would not vote him in. I wouldn't have voted in Boselli or Davis either. I wouldn't have voted in Marv Levy or a number of other marginal players. One thing that will be interesting to see. Boselli and Davis retired because they couldn't play anymore. Luck simply quit. Yes he was injured a lot but he was healthy when he quit on his team. I think that will be a big negative narrative behind closed doors when they discuss him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Most overrated prospect in the history of professional sports.

Mr. WEO Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Every player is "eligible for the HOF" after 5 years.... Luck had 2 monster seasons. That's about it. Mahomes's numbers are the "mind BOGGLING" ones, by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
