Not really a surprise. Gruden said Luck might be  the best quarterback ever coming out of college with his talent and mental abilities.

[21isSuperman]

I like Jaws.  He tends to do some solid analysis and does a lot of film review.  In just a few years, Luck will be at the #1 spot

[lollygagger8]

This year our Offense has the potential to be Top 5 if not #1 scoring Offense. 

 

Weapons of Mass Destruction at Luck's Disposal: 

 

Reggie "orange velcro hands of doom" Wayne

TY "afterburner" Hilton

Nicks "monster hands" Nicks 

Whalen/Moncrief/Rogers (insert snarky nickname here for any of them) 

Coby "LB killer" Fleener 

Dwayne "can line up anywhere and destroy Defenses" Allen 

Ahmad "49ers kryptonite" Bradshaw

Vick "Helicopter" Ballard

Trent "even if he doesn't run well this year, can catch out of the backfield very well" Richardson 

 

 

I'd say that Offensive Juggernaut of talent rivals what Stafford and the Lions have to work with this year.  

[Gavin]

He is easily in my top 10, Top 5? No

[Dustin]

Jaws has been getting progressively worse.

The first three were perfect.

[Superman]

I get the projection. But it's still too soon to put Luck ahead of Rivers, Roethlisberger or Ryan.

And Romo

[Superman]

And Romo

 

Depends on the day and hour. I don't have a lot of appreciation for the way Romo plays the position. He's often reckless, both with the ball and his body, he makes mistakes in crucial situations, and despite his occasional highs, he's pretty much topped out. If I had to choose between Romo and Luck right now, for one game, regardless of the opponent or the venue, I'd take Luck.

[Warhorse]

From Wells.......

 

"You knew Luck would definitely be ranked in the top 15. You hoped the third-year quarterback would crack the top 10."

 

No, Mike. Most of the world knew he would be in the top ten. Stop projecting your opinion on us.

[ViriLudant]

I'm a big Luck fan . Good kid, great attitude , etc. He just needs to get over his postseason issues. That'll come. Not sure if he's quite top 5, but certainly close.

Yeah but everything you just described Romo as you could say about Luck, The one difference being Luck makes alot of his mistakes early to where he has to play near perfect to give the team a shot late, Romo usually plays 55-59 minutes of good to great football while competing against the opposing teams defense and his own teams defense......Though in truth that can be said easily about the Colts own defense

[Blueblazes]

I'm glad  he's getting a lot of notice, and based on potential, I would agree he will be top 5 fairly soon. But it would be hard to be objective and put him ahead of Rodgers, Manning, Rivers, Brees, Romo. Then there's Roethlisberger and  even Brady. I'll say he's top 10 now, with top 5 on the horizon.

[lollygagger8]

And Romo

 

 

LOL. 

 

I'd take Luck over Romo all day, everyday. 

[TKnight24]

Aaron Rodgers should be #1, Peyton #2, then Brady #3

[Superman]

Not really. Luck wasn't reckless with the ball last year; he showed a lot of growth from Year 1 to Year 2 when it comes to turnovers. In his 7th year as a starter, Romo threw 19 picks, same as his 2nd year.

 

I also don't think Luck is reckless with his body, as a) he's proven he can take a hit and get up, unlike Romo, and b) he's bigger than Romo. So when Luck scrambles and takes hits, it's not reckless, because there's less risk of harm. 

 

I don't dislike Romo, but I'm not really that fond of the way he plays. I have him behind the other three R's, and Luck, for sure.

Andrew Luck was the NFL MVP his rookie year.     Maybe not last season, but he was in the discussion. 

 

If anyone watches Andrew Luck game in game out they will very quickly understand what is so special about this guy. 

 

I laugh when I compare Aaron Rodgers late game numbers vs Lucks..     it is embarrassing for Rodgers.

 

Andrew Luck is the perfect QB IMO.         He is Elway x 3

 

JMO.      and I may be biased....  heeheh

[Gavin]

LOL. 

 

I'd take Luck over Romo all day, everyday. 

So would I...based on Lucks upside but in no way is Luck better then Romo now

[John Dee]

Why should Aaron Rodgers be #1?    Just curious...   

 

Aaron Rodgers should be #1, Peyton #2, then Brady #3

[John Dee]

Good Lord Gavin...   I am convinced you simply enjoy drama... 

 

That is a truly silly take..    Luck was better than Romo at Stanford. 

 

So would I...based on Lucks upside but in no way is Luck better then Romo now

[TKnight24]

Why should Aaron Rodgers be #1? Just curious...

He's the best QB in the NFL IMO. But never had the supporting cast that Brady and Manning always have except for the one year the pack won the SB.

Way more accurate than Manning, more clutch than Brady. I believe he's the best in the NFL. But that's just my opinion

[Warhorse]

Well, I would bet all the oil in Texas that if Jerry Jones could choose between Andrew Luck and a second year Tony Romo, he would choose Luck every time.

Way more accurate than Manning and more clutch than Brady? Rodgers may very well be the best QB in the league, but those statements are silly.

[John Dee]

Wow...   

 

Aaron Rodgers throws to G Nelson, J Finley, R Cobb, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings,   and on and on.. 

 

He has 6 fourth Q comebacks in 87 starts.      Luck has 8 already, and Brady has 33 or so in 195 or so starts.

 

Rodgers is not the QB many think he is.

You're just gonna keep using that flimsy argument over and over again? 

[jskinnz]

So would every GM in the league and Romo's mom too.

He showed growth I know but how much growth Im not so sure...Have to wonder how much of that was scheme, He still locked onto targets to long and threw directly to blanketed receivers (KC game, NE Game), Peyton Manning threw 17 picks his 12th year in the league....2 more then his second year in the league, I also don't buy that there is less risk of harm if he runs, Always a high risk of harm when two bodies crash into each other

[jskinnz]

Well that is your opinion and there are several who would agree with you.  But your facts to back up your opinion are just simply not accurate.

[Stephen]

another difference is luck takes his team to playoffs romo doesnt

John Dee said it best - you love the drama. 

[Gavin]

Well, I would bet all the oil in Texas that if Jerry Jones could choose between Andrew Luck and a second year Tony Romo, he would choose Luck every time. 

2nd year Tony Romo did not even start a game, Unless you mean the 2nd year Romo started...in which case Jerry Jones absolutely would not, Would you trade 36 td passes for 23?

[Gavin]

excellent contribution to the thread

Some guys get hurt when they get hit, others don't. Luck and Romo are in different categories in this regard. Romo should be more careful, because he has a history of taking damage when he takes contact. Luck doesn't (and he's still more careful with his body). That might change, but for now, it is what it is.

 

Manning had a lot of picks, but his overall level of play made up for it. Romo's picks are often costly.

 

Luck's picks going down was partly scheme, but he took better care of the ball. Don't really have to wonder how much of it was scheme, not if you've watched the games and paid attention. He was much more judicious with the ball. And while he did regress in the playoffs, three of his 7 picks weren't his fault. He has to get better, obviously, but he's shown that he can make those necessary adjustments. At this point, Romo is what he is.

Fair enough and I agree

[John Dee]

You gonna keep defending this flimsy QB?  

 

Oh and by the way....     8 of the 10  Great Aaron Rodger's  GWD's came against Detroit and Chicago. 

 

can this guy beat anyone other than them when it matters?

 

 

hheheeee..     Didn't mean to make you butt hurt Clark but....      heehee

 

oh well..   it is the off season. 

You're just gonna keep using that flimsy argument over and over again?

I'm not butt hurt. I'm just curious whether you're beyond reason in this regard. I have my answer.

[John Dee]

Like it or not that is a VERY telling stat among the "upper tier QB's" ...

 

Just saying.    

I'm not butt hurt. I'm just curious whether you're beyond reason in this regard. I have my answer.
