It's not that we need constant validation that the team or players are good. Their record over the past decade proves it.

 

I can see the argument from the Jags perspective, that the "Andrew Luck is the greatest" point of view is being overblown by ESPN and other media outlets. However, the argument that he isn't good or is just average is not accurate, in my opinion. I agree that he's not elite.

 

The problem that we have is that the elite QBs, Manning, Brady, Rodgers, and Brees have had numerous years in the league. We are comparing Luck to them after only two seasons and saying "see, I told you he doesn't compare." Of course he wouldn't. But he actually has better numbers than Manning did in his first and second year.

 

Consider this: Bruce Arians has coached Manning, Big Ben, and Luck in their rookie years. He stated that he's never seen such an NFL ready prospect and that Luck was able to run the no huddle offense, which he implemented with Manning in year two and three. He said Luck is actually ahead of those guys in the mental aspect of the game. We can also clearly see how physically gifted that Luck is. The future looks bright for the Colts, it would appear.
