I think it's a good thing that he's athletic and gets away from defenders to make plays. Looking from one receiver to the next is something Luck could easily do more if asked or if it seemed that was the better way. I think he's good that he does both, uses his legs and his eyes to move defenders, 2 methods is better than 1 lol. Look what Cam Newton did this year haha.

I have seen many Luck games. I see his use his head to move defenders often, and it is a part of his game.

I watched every game he played this year that was available, and reviewed and watched all the game tape I could find on him, and It's not a big part of his game. It is in Barkley's game and Mannings when he was in college. but not Luck's.

I give you a whole game tape and you show me a 10 second redzone play against a cover 2 scheme which is terrible for the redzone.

One thing Luck will need to learn is to slide when he's on the run. Don't want him getting killed lol.

He better learn to do it on his right knee. We don't want that knee brace, for what I assume is a bad knee, getting caught in the turf like Brady's did.

I'm very hesitant when it comes to USC QBs. The only one who I can think of who is somewhat successful is Carson Palmer... and there are plenty of QBs in the league better than him.

Carson was good. He just got dealt some bad injuries.

If you want to look at a whole game where he uses his eyes to move defenders, look at the game vs. Colorado.

I'm a trojan fan, and I really Like Barkley...but he make a lot of mistakes and really important times. He has the arm and the skill set. He can play a West Coast offense immediately. I think his play parallels Tom Brady and he would make a decent pro at the least, depending on what team he goes to. People are always gonna have opinions, but most 1 rounders dont work out...so what do scouts know really. They are right less than half the time. We never know till they get to the pros.

But I think that Barkley can read a defense and has better field awareness than anybody in the NCAA right now.

Bad assumption. All Jim Harbaugh coached QBs wear a knee brace on their plant leg.

I've always preferred Barkley to Luck. Kind of wish he didn't stay his senior year.

Barkley is like all the other USC QBs, over-rated from a QB-friendly system.

Carson Palmer, Leinart, Sanchez. All have under-achieved. I expect the same from Barkley.

I'll take Luck, thank you very much.

Yeah, I remember reading an article or watching a video about how uses his head to move/fool defenders often. However, I do think Barkley is good though however if we had the big three Luck, RGiii and Barkley in the draft I still think Luck would be picked ahead of both of them. IMO

Look at the play @ 1:45.... and then the play right after that, that is 80 percent of his game. I've seen this one before. If he has time he will scan the field for his 3 or 4th option....but it's not ROUTINE. I'm not saying it's totally absent. A QB like Luck and stare down his 1st option and still complete the pass with his accuracy and arm strength.

People like Barkley and Manning, make decisions a little faster, but doesn't mean that all 3 can't make a play.

Please tell me he had a flu that day or something. Are we really going to have to listen to a darn foghorn before every snap?

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      Was that the only good receiver taken in that draft? And did they give up multiple picks?

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Superman · Posted

      Yeah, I have no beef with MHJ as a prospect (I think some are pumping him up a little too much, and there's some name recognition probably influencing the way he's talked about). It would be awesome to have him on the Colts. But just like every other draft prospect in history, the possibility exists that he will not live up to the pre-draft expectations.    But during the pre-draft process, fans and media start falling in love with players. Terms like "generational talent," "future superstar," etc., start getting thrown around. And now we're talking about a prospect as if he's a lock for the HOF before he's even played a game in the NFL. That's fine, it's fun, we all do it. But that's different from actually scouting, setting a board, and making decisions for the team.   Each of us can point to a previous prospect that we loved and raved about and had them fitted for a gold jacket, but who bounced out of the league within 3-4 years. And the same is probably true for NFL scouts and decision makers. Which is why Ballard's comment today -- there is no such thing as a perfect prospect -- is so important to remember. I'm not against the team identifying a guy they really want and going up to get him, but I hope they're not just doing it with stars in their eyes.

      Would Cincy have made the SB without taking Chase at #5. I got the answer, and it is easy, it is a FAT NO. They would have never got by KC as great as Burrow is. Giving up next years 1st round pick isn't the end of the world to land a generational WR. We still have picks in rounds 2-7 if we did that.

      Isaiah Rodgers to the Eagles (Still Suspended)

      By w87r · Posted

      Definitely was, but essentially all of them received the same punishment initially.     Just thought it was curious, especially right before the draft. Has to put the CB spot for the Eagles in limbo.     Been wondering if Jontay Porter's NBA lifetime ban had any play in the decision.   Rodgers did bet on his own team.
