Quote:Yes, Luck put up that stat line on the road vs the #2 seed who just had 2 weeks to prepare for his team, and who has street FA's getting valuable snaps at some of the WR positions. 

 

I never expected the Colts to win that game, hence my correct choice on the NFL divisional playoff prediction thread. 

 

Luck is still getting better. If Luck had the kind of weapons on offense that Cincinnati has, he'd be headed to a SB victory. 

 

I think he did a very good job in the playoffs considering what he has. Good YPA, isn't afraid to throw deep early and often....Luck plays the position exactly the way I'd like my QB to play it. 

 

I know you would probably prefer an Alex Smith or Andy Dalton type play it safe, play it "not to lose" game manager. Not me. Luck will eventually get a SB playing the style of football he plays. Aggressive. Going for all the big plays. The game manager types ain't winning a SB even with top notch personnel around them. 

 

I'm sorry, how do you know this about me, exactly?  Not throwing stupid passes that are easy interceptions isn't the same thing as being a game manager.  The two aren't mutually exclusive.  We'll have to wait and see what Luck gets over the course of his career.  For now, he's had an extremely mediocre season, and if he's waiting for talent on the offensive side of the ball to help him out (as you purport), help isn't on the way if Grigson continues idiotic trades like the Richardson deal.  To add to this, the Colts' two best players, Wayne and Mathis, are on the tail end of their careers.  The Colts are in a tough spot.

 

To me, Luck just again illustrates that there is NEVER a player worth tanking a season for.
