This is the new decision for many teams to make about their season and to determine whether or not their season is a complete lost cause. Everyone is drooling over Andrew Luck, who is the most hyped quarterback to enter the league since Payton Manning was drafted in 1998. Ironically, the Indianapolis Colts are one of the teams that with Manning sitting out due to an injury are put in this situation. My Miami Dolphins are also in the conversation of eventually getting Luck and every week he just gives more reasons to do so.
Luck is now so advanced at his position that he is calling his own plays, which is something that not all NFL quarterbacks are able to do. So far this year Luck has a Quarterback Rating of 182.3 with a 73.1 completion percentage with 14 touchdown passes and only 2 interceptions and thrown for 1383 yards through only five games. These are numbers that are unheard of in college football and sets him miles apart from all other quarterbacks to come into the NFL in over ten years. While it is still unknown who will land the number one pick, it is a virtual certainty that Luck will be taken with it. So let the Suck for Luck sweepstakes begin!
I am not a huge follower of college football but was wondering if much like Tim Tebow, Luck's numbers are inflated because its college football. Or on the other hand, do they think he is truly ready for the callup to the big leagues (excuse the awful analogy).
ReplyDeleteAndrew Luck is a complete quarterback unlike Tebow. Tebow never had the mechanics or general football knowledge that Luck has. Tebow was very successful because he is a very dynamic player he could rely on his running ability as well as passing in college. Tebow also was never hyped up to be a successful professional quarterback, in fact people doubted his ability when he was coming out of college. I think that Luck really is ready to make the jump to the pros, but there is never such thing as a guarantee in the NFL draft.
