Has Andrew Luck lived up to the hype?

[desjardins]

fukk no
But the hype was crazy
According to the hype he probably should be THE best QB in football right now
And yet I rarely even hear him mentioned as a top QB
I think he has a Philip Rivers type career
Lots of stats and HOFer but ppl who watched in this era will know he wasn’t really all that in the league impact wise

Nope but he's a franchise QB so that's enough I guess.

Out of the 3 QBs in that draft - Luck, RG3 and Russ. I knew Russ was gonna be the best cuz I'm a Hawks fan and paid attention to him unlike most folks who were on RG3 and Luck's nuts.

I knew RG3 wasn't gonna have a long career with all his running. I live in DC so I watched those games and was waiting on the injuries.

I thought Luck would be a Top 5 QB by now but I think he's still on the border line right outside the Top 5. I can see him getting a ring once the Pats have a few down seasons. He'll have to knock off Mahomes one season to do it.

He lived up to modern medicine

Not a lot of qb ever live up to the hype. Manziel had more hype

So many QBs get hyped up cuz that's just how the position is treated every draft. But anyone who thought Manziel was gonna make it might be a legit retard.

Has he lived up to the hype? No, but the problem might be the "hype". He really hasn't had that great of a team up until last season. We'll see as they keep building around him.

Luck is very good but like most said the hype was too much it's rare anyone could live up to that

 

[bangbreh]

He had very lofty expectations but that's not his fault.
Finally got a line in front of him, some weapons and coach that can help him succeed.
He may not be the second coming of Elway but he's well equipped to have some success in the coming years.

Let's be reality, Andrew Luck was drafted into an awful team. He brute forced his way into the playoffs multiple years. I believe he was the most sacked QB in the league since he was drafted (or at least top 3) and sustained a shoulder injury which could have ended his career. If you wanna argue he's brittle ok, but when healthy he has played at an elite level, and its clear as last year proved, if you give him a good O-Line and competent front office and coach, he's a Franchise QB at worst, if you don't want to call him elite.

Peyton was drafted into a worse team in '98, yet by Year 8, there was no question Peyton was the best quarterback in the NFL...

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Luck will look great once a few AFC teams fall off in the coming seasons. I think the Colts are building towards a couple of SB runs during his early 30s. He got a legit shot to get one.

 

[ShoGun Of Harlem]

You would think Luck was trash from the responses itt

 

[intra vires]

No, he was overrated in college and overhyped in the draft. However, he's as good as I expected him to be.

 

[The Fire]

QB hype is always off the mark. this thread makes him seem like a bust when he’s one of the best QB’s in the league and certainly elite

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

He had one of his best years last year and led a young team to the 2nd round of the playoffs

Dont let facts stand in the way of coli militants
