Quote:One of his best traits is that he's extremely accurate when throwing on the run, off balance, in imperfect circumstances.

 

So, even at his worst, he's at his best.  That's not a bad "problem."

 

Biggest thing I worry about is that with a TE background, he's got a punish the tackler mentality.  That kind of toughness is what makes him strong in the pocket, but he could get himself hurt with bigger faster defenders in the NFL when on the run.  But then, Luck is an aggressive runner, too.  Perhaps that's a positive all the way around with the way they've put skirts on the QB and throw a flag at looking at the QB wrong.  Defenders are starting to pull up on running QBs so they don't get flagged for hitting them too hard.

 

I saw him completing a lot of balls even when he was throwing off his back foot.  Biggest thing to me though is pocket presence and keeping his eyes down field.  That as we saw with Blaine can't be coached and he just has it.  As everyone else mentioned footwork is his biggest issue.  And once (or if I should say) he gets that down, everything else will fall into place.
