Why does Skip Bayless hate Andrew Luck so much?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

It gets threads made about him.

 

[yseJ]

Because he's really not that good

luck is good.

 

[NV-ME]

skip chose rg3 as the next qb and while it was going good, he took an extra stuntastic victory lap and been licking his wounds ever since. he needs to do what all sensible niggs w/ agendas do, wait til them playoffs come and when he lose, blow them party balloons up and get to steppin.

he looks pathetic, talkin about "should be interceptions." Stephen a need a foot in his for not laughing him off that set weekly.

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

Doesn't really matter if one thinks the strategy is overrated. Luck is carrying out the strategy he is told to carry out. Relative to volume passing, his TD to INT ratio is perfectly fine. If they could/would run the ball better/more, he might have 12 TDs and 3 picks like Manning and maybe 1300 yards or something. Whether that is better for the Colts is a discussion, but Luck is doing what is asked of him.

so you are absolving him from blame on turnovers because hes asked to pass a ton ?

thats a nifty way of sweeping his faults under the rug

theres a specific stat that measures interceptions per passing attempts, for people who try to justify his int % as relative to high volume passing

lucks int % is 2.7.
for reference, russ wilsons is .9, arods is .7, nick foles is 1.9, rivers 1.2, peyton 1.9 and staffords is 2.2

lucks int PER ATTEMPT is not good

Great stat....but......he also has more TDS than any of those QB...significantly more......I'm not taking Rivers, Stafford or Foles over him as a QB, and he is significantly younger than Manning and even Arod. They are upping the risk reward.

It's not about sweeping faults under the rug...all QBs have flaws. Luck isn't perfect, but the idea that Luck isn't really good is asinine.
Starting a franchise right now for the next few years........

 

[jaguar paw]

He has to.



He was heavily against the Colts drafting him and letting Peyton walk.

He will keep rambling about it.

There are parallels with LeBron and how he overacts to everything he does.

fair enough, Im not saying luck isnt good...hes damn good. but cutting down on the turnovers should be the next step of his maturing

 

[mrken12]

Because he's probably sick of the undeserved hype and ass kissing like we are.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Skip may be kinda trolling, but I kind of agree with him. Luck shows all the promise. It just seems people are crowning him prematurely, as if it's a given he will be Manning/Brady status. He might...but we gotta see it.

 

[Goat poster]

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.

She is a model named Barbra Palvin.

Some of the luck love is annoying though. Mike Francesca : throw away the int , the fumble and the batted passes and luck actually had a phenomenonal game .
I get it lucks a great player no need for the extra propping up

Meanwhile if geno plays great but also throws a pick and fumble they throw everything else out and just focus on the turnovers.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

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.

#1 the colts just played. Youre comparing stats of teams that havent played the same amount of games



I mean really? Peyton and the broncos have only played 4 games, colts have played 6

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Seriously I'm watching first take right now and he's ripping that nikka to shreds over what?

What is his issue?

i really don't see the problem with a lot of things skip says... if people would focus on his points, you'd see they aren't just "crazy" off the wall bullshyt theories... he usually backs them up with plenty of facts and shyt


like luck.... everyone everywhere is sucking this kid's dikk, like he the next peyton manning... but he throws a shytLOAD of interceptions... every year... and usually fukks his team up with them early... then climbs out of the hole and people think he's the god.... well he wouldn't have all these game winning drives if he wouldn't have these game fukking us over ints


what he said about bron bron was true... he always said he's great.. but last shot time, he's mentally weak... and that was long before dallas.... but first we had the cavs.. where people thought he quit in the playoffs... then we had the mavs, where he was shook... then we had the spurs... the cramp.. the record losses.. then run home when it looks too tough.. after you promised 7 rings and shyt

tebow.... shyt we had 80 years of people telling us the option WOULD NEVER WORK IN THE NFL... we had a good 3 seasons of everyone saying TEBOW CAN'T WIN.. he won't be a qb.. he sucks... he'll never do shyt.. this is the nfl... skip said, he can win games if you run the option.... long story short... he won games running the option

taking less money.... shyt if kobe, bron, melo and kd all said we taking the minimum.. we will just live off nike and every other endorsement... they could easily join up in win rings until they felt like not winning them anymore... SAS acted like that was retarded... meanwhile tim duncan taking bird seed compared to other stars, and winning ring after ring after ring







i could pick a million other topics... you might not agree with what he says... but 7 times out of 10.. he's making valid points
