in that case matt flynn last year threw for 480 yds and 6 tds. he should be on track to be the greatest qb ever. but instead he is on the bench behind a rookie. sample size has to be taken into account even for it to be promising.

Yes, true, but he's been statistically consistent over the course of four games (8 games, if you count preseason). More important than that, you see all of the consistent mechanics which made him the overall number 1 draft pick.

I really don't think we're looking at a Flynn-like career....

i agree with you Luck has all the tools and has played very well for the situation. i do believe he could be an all time great. i just can't bring myself to put him in the elite category yet. look at matt ryan who has a few real good years in the league, a lot of people doubt his elite status cause he hasn't won a playoff game. if luck doesn't have a sophmore slump and instead improves he could be in the consideration for that talk.

Can't disagree with that.

As confident as I am that Luck will be an All-Pro, HOF caliber player, I have to give him two years as a starter to really rate him.

There's a lot of QB's who can play one great year. Then defensive coordinators start really focusing on you, and they'll expose what you're really made of (for better or worse). The "sophomore slump" isn't something that happens magically- give any NFL caliber D-coordinator a year's worth of game film to identify your tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses, and they'll dial up a game plan to exploit it. They'll test you real quick to see if you've learned from the flaws in your game or if you're a one year wonder. I doubt Luck will turn out to be fool's gold, but I'll still wait to rate him.

    • Ranked on their draft boards or ranked in terms of being an NFL prospect?  Yes, those aren't the same things.   In terms of NFL prospects, yes, I think all teams have pretty much the same 250 players ranked in pretty much the same order.  That's what the "Top 100 prospects means".  Its prospects.  Of course, they are more certain about the players they have ranked highly than the players they have ranked lower.  The margin of error for the lower players is higher than it is for the higher players, so there is a chance that a player with a 7th round grade by one team gets selected in the 5th round by another, over a 5th round ranking guy getting selected in the 3rd round by another.  I'd wager that teams have their top 25 ranked pretty much the same.   I'm speaking in terms of understanding the players' attributes, talents, Character risks, and abilities to play in the NFL...which is NOT the same as their draft boards...meaning who they might want to actually draft.   Draft boards would be based upon those attributes combined with the uniqueness of the teams,  So even though a team may think Marvin Harrison is the number 1 prospect, they may choose to pick their number 12 ranked prospect guy JJ McCarthy.  Knowing talent and needs, they probably have JJ higher on their Draft board than MHJ.    But no, I do not think that each team knows how the other 31 teams have their draft boards ranked, with any degree of certainty.   I think every GM had ADM ranked as a prospect the same as every other, in terms of risks, talents, etc.  The team that actually picked him has unique reasons for picking him.  And if you put almost ay other GM in the place of Ballard at the time, who understands the Colts, he would have picked ADM for the Colts too.  And they too would have felt lucky that their, say, 35th ranked prospect was still available at pick 52.  Ballard said that "nobody has any idea how this stuff plays out"  Its not my opinion to argue with.  I'm trying to help those on the forum understand what he's saying, even if it conflicts with the opinions they've held for years.       So you judge the validity of a post based upon consensus?  That's all you got?  Yeah, ok, the consensus apparently does not agree with me.  Big deal.
    • Looking forward to watching it later.  Love when the colts do this.
