Quote:I agree completely with the fact that people are hard on Blake and take it easy on Luck. Both are good QB's. Luck plays on a team that was a perennial winner for years and thus has the respect of the national media. Blake plays on a team that has been the laughingstock of the league for years now, and given the mediocre/bad QB play since Brunell, he's obviously going to be critiqued more heavily. Luck also was highly touted coming out of college (as in, a can't miss prospect) and people don't like to be wrong. He'll get the benefit of the doubt until the media is finished with him and the next best thing comes along.


Luck also has been to an AFC Championship game. Even Trent Dilfer got street cred when he won a Super Bowl in Baltimore as a game manager. Playoff wins mean something. Again, not saying Luck is elite...just saying he's better than slightly average.
