  1. Here is some stats that we can realistically look forward to with a rookie QB and Arians as the QB coach or Offensive Coordinator...

    Indianapolis Colts 1998 3-13 Arians QB coach

    New but Veteran GM Polian, new but Veteran HC Mora. Only Mckinney stuck from the draft other than Manning.

    PASSING STATISTICS

    Player Name GP Comp Att % Yards TD INT

    Peyton Manning 16 326 575 56.70 3739 26 28

    RUSHING STATISTICS

    Marshall Faulk 16 324 1319 6

    Cleveland 1998 2-16 Arians Offensive Coordinator

    Cleveland was an expansion team with absolutely no talent. Had 1st time HC Chris Palmer. The only players taken in the 1999 draft to stick in the NFL were all defensive players.

    Pittsburgh had a good defense, solid WR corps, a stable of RBs, and Bill Cowher

    My opinion is the 2012 Colts team is far and away more talented than that barren 1999 Browns team and not comparable to that stacked 2004 Steelers team (Pro-bowler after Pro-bowler on that team that was only lacking a QB before 2004).

    As for the 1998 Colts the 2012 Offensive Line situation is very similar (2- 2nd year tackles, a rookie guard, and a FA center and guard), the WR corps - other than a 3rd year Harrison it was a bunch of nothing. TEs - 3rd year Pollard and Dilger to Rookies Fleener and Allen... well the jury is out until the end of the season, RBs - Faulk in a contract year to Brown, Carter, Evans, Ballard... edge is to Marshall, but if we want to have early success Brown better turn into a Greyhound. Defensive front - even though the 2012 team is learning a new system they have tremendously more talent than the 1998 team, Secondary - 1998 team takes the edge just because of the 2nd CB question and lack of depth on the 2012 team.

    Now, I know the topic is what will Luck's stats be, but I believe you can't judge the QB without looking at what he is surrounded with. So, my opinion is Luck's numbers will not be as high as Mannings, but will be higher than Roethlisberger's stats (lack of power running game).
