Quote:See its comments like this that make me question whether you have football knowledge or just spew out nonsense. Every team in this league besides the pack broncos saints and pats would pick luck to start their franchise with! The guy is a winner and its proven. As much as i love manning and he will go down as the greatest to ever play. All his years here we have one trophy. Not his fault team management sucked but thats the way it goes. This current team is built to win with a bruising run game and a stout defense and also i qb that can hang 300+ 3 tds on any team. If you can read i stated that his comp % is 65% that is among thr best so far this season. The window isnt closing. Its wide open. All our skill positions are youmg besides reggie. Everything i stated in my previous post is proven fact.

 

Not so fast there.  Luck is 12th in passer rating.  22nd in yards.  25th in yards per game.  Tied for 18th for TDs (on pace for a whopping 20 TD season).  15th in Yards per attempt.  21st in passing attempt. 

 

Yet, in the top 100 players in the NFL list he is listed as the 8th best QB in the NFL, 23rd best player overall.  You just put him as the 5th best QB.  That sounds like overhyped to me.  Peyton Manning threw 2 more touchdowns his first game than Luck has the whole season.  The Broncos have the makeup of a team that could run the ball/play defense just like the colts, but they throw the ball all over the place.

 

I still think drafting Luck and cutting Peyton was the right decision.  But when you pretty much say you run an offense that doesn't feature the passing game, questions about the QB's "eliteness" are definately not unfounded.
