    Looks like rookie of the year is locked up

    in NFL General

    And you don't give him enough. I've yet to see RG3 be clutch. Screens, dump offs and wide open receivers don't make you clutch or a great QB. Running a college style offense doesn't make you a great QB. Having a great running game doesn't make you a QB. Then again I'm talking to a Redskins fan who won't listen to what is being said. Oh, and yes I've watched 5 different Redskins games this season, so don't tell me I've never even seen him play.

    I'm not a Redskins fan... I bleed blue buddy.

    the only logical one

    No not really...

    Taking Andrew Luck and remodeling the team was a huge risk.

    Manning is proven. Luck is not. He could be a bust.

    There were multiple paths that could have been taken. We could have kept Manning, traded the pick and stocked up on talent, making us undefeated this season...

    You never know.

    But I like how the Colts are coming along so far. Just tired of this unwarranted praise that Luck gets.

    Win close games... and bring his team back when HE has too...

    Watch both closely... really.

    Also the Redskins have tougher competition. The NFC is better than the AFC. And we don't even score many points. We are barely beating scrub teams.

    But the weak, incompetent team surrounding Andrew Luck is holding him back right?

    anyone who thinks irsay may have blew up the colts do to "hype" loses a lot of credibility. and getting rid of peyton was the only option....i can't fathom how anyone could think otherwise. considering manning's age and the state of the colts roster irsay did him the biggest favor of his career.

    It was NOT the only option. And that roster was basically the same group that almost went undefeated in 09...

    I don't get why everyone has fallen in love with Luck. He hasn't really done anything. Everyone acts like he is destined to be a top QB or hall of famer...

    So far Luck is cool.

    A lot of people on this site hold him above criticism. He has a LARGE role in our blow out losses. You don't throw multiple touchdowns for the other team and expect to win. It's not the defenses fault.

    People excuse his mistakes because he's a rookie but at the same time, the justify the release of Manning because Luck is the greatest prospect since John Elway and that he is NFL ready.

    He didn't look NFL ready when he was missing easy targets in the Jets game. Nor did he look NFL ready when he basically gave the game to NE.

    So he's just a rookie when he looks horrible, but when someone doubts Irsay's decision to pick him over RG3 or keep Manning, it's justified because he's the greatest prospect in years.

    He will continue to be compared to Manning and RG3 because the Colts had the options of all of them. So people, get used to it.

    So far, and it's super early, Manning and RG3 look better than Luck.

    I really hope the Colts did their due diligence in selecting Luck and explored their other options (Keeping Manning or drafting RG3) instead of just impulsively blowing up the Colts because Irsay fell in to the hype surrounding Luck.

    But with that being said. I like Luck. I just don't get why some make it seem like the decision to go with Luck over RG3 is above criticism. It's not.

    RG3 could very well be the better of the two.

    And keeping Peyton could have been more fruitful.

    Time will tell.

    Was Luck hyped to much?

    I think he was over hyped. He was not only touted as the greatest quarterback prospect ever, he was also described as NFL ready. His accuracy denotes that he is not the greatest QB since John Elway and his many rookie mistakes denote that he is not NFL ready.

    And yes, one must conisider what the Colts gave up to recruit Luck as their QB. The Colts had the options of Peyton Manning, RGIII, AND Andrew Luck. It is normal to question the pick when it seems Andrew Luck isnt living up to the emense amount of hype and especially when, so far, Peyton and RGIII have out played him.

    So considering the Colts options and the emmense hype of Andrew Luck, justifying the release of one of the greatest quarter backs in the league, it's only natural to question the decisions the Colts made.

    But maybe Luck will fulfill the lofty expectations in the future. He has only played 6 games. And yes the expectations are understandable, considering the other quarter backs that the Colts passed up for the best prospect and NFL ready QB ever in Andrew Luck.

    That's the thing. Of coarse he would be here if he's healthy but he's got to be healthy by March 8 which is not going to happen which means Irsay will be forced to release him IMO. It really is too bad there is a clock ticking on his healing process but that's just the way it panned out.

    Not necessarily... Jim Irsay is not a robot. He might be able to see that Manning is progressing and will continue that progression, enabling him to suit up next season. The first game of the season doesn't start until September. I'ts January!
