Ok so your problem is that you're comparing him to one of the top 5 QBs of all time. He was still great whether you look at it by eye test, box scores, or team success.

If you want to say he was great so be it.  I just threw out a list of QBs that i see as top tier in the last 5 to 10 years of the sport.  I guess there hasn't been alot of greatness at the QB position or i'm just not as giddy as i use to be about QB play.  Luck was just the guy the colts drafted that i never thought would be elite.  I dont understand why he was hyped up so much coming out of college and always had doubts before he even hit the field.  Heck, i thought he had the best chance of being elite with the old heads running the asylum with being a good pocket passer with the good measurables.  The fact that they didnt build around him just goes to show the stubborness. The elite qbs that lead their teams to greatness with mediocre talent were playing in a different time with diff rules. Luck was not going to be that guy and even in a pass heavy league he wasnt as successful as he should've been. I think the game is finally changing though.  Too many good mobile QBs coming out and the race card is not dividing it.  There are enough caucasian QBs that can move that the league will start changing up.  The old view of black qbs being only speedster who cant throw is growing past its prime and as with most things in real life, the playing field is getting closer to even so it will be more acceptable to change and not look like the odd man out.
