Quote:For his hype being ahead of his play. I remember when Reggie Bush came out of college with his huge reputation and the talking heads were saying how Reggie Bush being in the backfield was the reason New Orleans were winning (Despite like a 3ypc and no big runs) the threat was that big they weren't defending against the pass.

 

The Narrative that Luck was a top NFL qb was decided to be true by many before he got near the Colts

How has he not met the hype, in your opinion? (Not intended to be argumentative).

 

I see him coming into the league with enormous hype, and I agree that it was too much (which by the way was not his fault, he just kept quiet and balled out, unlike RGIII). His first year he won 11 games and set numerous records and made it to the playoffs. His second year, he won 11 games, set numerous records and won a playoff game. His third year, he led the league in TDs, won 11 games and won 2 playoff games.

 

He unfairly has been criticized in comparison with players like Manning, Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, all of whom have numerous more years in the league. Once those guys retire, Luck will be among the top, would he not? In your opinion, has this not met the hype? (Again, not being argumentative, but from a realistic standpoint, Luck is actually well ahead of schedule regardless of the hype).
