Colts lead the league in total offense and passing.

Luck is one of only 3 QBs who are asked to pass and average over 40 passes a game. Orton has over 40 but its only 1 game.

Drew Brees has 1574 yards 9 TDs and 6 INTS
Nick Foles has 1380 yards 8 TDs and 5 INTS
Luck 1987 yards 17 TDS and 7 INTS.

I'll take that "turnover machine" any day of the week.

Peyton and Ryan are close to 40 a game. Peyton has 1293 yards 12 TDs and 3 INTs Ryan 1579 11 TDs and 6 INTS

I'd say the volume of passing, the yards and TDs are offsetting the 7 picks.

To me, Luck is an improved Stafford at this point. He's really streaky: when he catches fire, they roll for a quarter or two, then when he's off, the ball is all over the place, terrible decisions and turnovers come and the offense grinds to a halt.
I agree, although I dont think theyre on same level. stafford is like a very poor mans luck

all the volume passing is extremely overrated, especially in this day and age

this is why volume passing doesnt really hold very well in offs where against a team with good defense one turnover often means the difference between win or loss. the same good defensive team will run the ball, eat the clock and keep the volume passing at bay while pouncing on the turnovers

He's been more consistent this year. But as you've pointed out their offense goes with how Luck goes...and that's not a bad thing. He's that talented. But the Colts will be in pretty good shape the next 10 years or so with him at QB.

Because he is a RG3 stan. So he is hurt that Luck is making him look stupid so far. Skip said he would take RG3 over Luck & RG3 would have the better career. This nikka RG3 has more commercials then wins & games played. :dead:

Its all about entertainment. As someone already stated its his role to be a contrarian. Stephen A has to like someone and Skip has to hate them. Its easier for white Skip to blatantly hate on a great white QB without raising suspicion than it would be for Stephen A.
