    if he was so doing so great.....

     

    " But the truly chilling performance came from left tackle Anthony Castonzo. The 2011 first-rounder is supposed to be the bedrock of the offensive line, but he hasn't often played up to that billing over the past two seasons. "

    and another

     

    "While part of that could be explained by the infusion of rookies, three of whom started Sunday, the bigger concern has been the play of left tackle Anthony Castonzo, a six-year veteran. Thirteen months ago, Castonzo signed a four-year, $43 million contract, but struggled most of last season and is off to another poor start this season. "

    So no, i'm not the only one seeing it. 

     

     

    There is a massive difference between not playing up to your contract and "having more negative plays than positive." He may not be playing lights out, but not many other tackles around the league are either. What you said about the amount of bad plays he has is just not true

    A look at Luck's stats for this year.

    Was looking over Luck's stats for this year compared to other years.

     

    In terms of passer rating he's sitting at 95.4 which is his 2nd highest behind 2014 which was 96.5.  

     

    His Int rate is 1.5% which is his best in his career narrowly beating out 2013's 1.6%

     

    His TD rate is 4.9% which is way below his 2014 rate of 6.5% but way better then his first 2 years which where 3.7% and 4%.  It's actually close to his 2015 rate which was 5.1%

     

    YPG is 293.8 his 2nd highest behind 2014 which was at 297.6.  And he's currently tied with Phillip Rivers for 4th place in terms of passing yards. And 5th place with Brees & Stafford for TD's.  

     

    Completion percentage is 63.9%  Career best by more then 2%.  (2014 is 2nd with 61.7%)

     

    So despite what many people might think Luck is playing well.  

     

    Ok but now for the bad news.  In 5 games he's already taken 20 sacks.  That is on pace for 64 sacks on the season which is TERRIBLE.  His rookie year which was his worst in terms of sacks he took 41 sacks.  

     

     

     

    Not only are the number of sacks terrible, 64 would be one of the highest of all time. He's having a fantastic year, just don't want to see him slow down on the back half due to the hits adding up...
