Quote:So then why is Blake blowing his numbers away this year? Oh wait, bc Luck is injured. Got it.

 

Indy has a historically bad O-line this year. I'm not making excuses for him, but when he's on, he's fun to watch. He's smart, knows where to go with the ball. He throws picks because he tries to fit throws into tight windows, which shows the confidence you look for in a QB. Who else does that sound like? That's right... BB5.

 

And, StroudCrowd talked about Blake's line. I'm sorry, our line is far superior to Indy's line. The loss of Linder hurt, but Wiz and Parnell have been excellent. Joeckel (whether you believe it or not) is improving each week, and so is Cann. I look forward to seeing our line next year when Linder is back, Cann gets to move into Beadles' spot and we either resign Wiz or hand things off to Bo. BB5 is starting to make quicker decisions as the game slows down, and that's why the Allen's are having such a breakout year. 

 

Look, I'm not saying Luck is elite. But, he can be a very good QB with elite potential if he has time to throw and isn't being flushed from the pocket every single play. It's a pretty simple fix in Indy, and it will look a lot like what happened in Jax. Draft big men early, fill holes with free agency and hope you hit on a middle round sleeper pick. He has stellar WR's in Hilton, Moncrief, and Dorsett (when he's healthy). Fleener can also be a good TE. They just need a better line and a good, young RB to develop behind Gore, because I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank.
