Has Andrew Luck lived up to the hype?

[Womb Raider]

My football IQ is high, and you can't refute anything I've said, so you're rationalizing. There is no way you can deny Luck's first 7 years didn't come in a more passer friendly era than Peyton's first 7, so you're resorting to insults and shyt...

You can have at it though, playa...

Okay, your football IQ is high but you're comparing a season in which Andrew Luck DID NOT PLAY to a season where Peyton did play...of course he's going to look better

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

No but the hype was massive.... Luck has been a pretty good player. Pat Mahomes, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson have all been better

 

[yseJ]

no, and hes been overrated by quite a few people.

with that said, to match his hype hed have to be a peyton lite, and thats really hard to do. being a HoF caliber player isnt an easy task in the NFL

How the rest of the league works is irrelevant because what Cam did in 2015 is an outlier, something that he wont ever repeat.

Let's review the facts of his 2015 season:

19.6% of opponents drives ended in the turnovers for the Panthers. #1 in NFL.

12.4% ended in Interceptions #1 in NFL.

They held opponents to 2:21 TOP/DR #1 in NFL.

Panthers had #2 average offensive starting field position.

the defense consistently put Cam and the offense in GREAT position to succeed. No offense in the league had it better than Panthers.

On top of that Carolina faced the easiest defensive schedule in the league last year, including the WORST defensive team in history twice(Saints).

All of that leads to inflated touchdown numbers for Cam and inflated scoring numbers for the offense in general. Cam had a good to great year, but he didn't deserve MVP and he wasn't the best QB in the league like many proclaim.

Who deserved MVP?

overrated

Not Cam.

Nah he a good QB...just injuries and poor oline hit him hard. He made a good comeback last year...but did surprise me a lil struggling against KC's D in the playoffs.

The 1 knock I have on him is he's an avg-below avg qb on the road and especially outdoors in cold weather.

Eh. Russ arguably has had more talent on offense than Luck; plus, he had an elite defense to keep the other team's scoring down, and provide him with great field position by getting takeaways. They were in the top 12 in that department for, like, SIX of his seven seasons in the league!

Luck has always had better receiving weapons than Russ

He was injured. Got injured late against the Texans the previous weekend and carried it through to KC.

That 2012-2014 Seahawks offense was better than anything we've ever fielded for Luck. Minus this upcoming season.

Thanks for Dodds tho cause he seem to be bringing that same magic to Indy.

N1gga, go way.


And Russ has also had a run gm and defense.
