I like Jon Gruden, he tends to know what he's talking about.  The Bucs miss him a lot.

 

However, he's also very prone to hyperbole.  Especially when it comes to QB's; he's very much a "flavor of the day" kinda guy.  Today Luck is the best, tomorrow it could be Tannehil.  It's just how he rolls.

Gruden may be jumping the gun a little bit. Luck is fantastic and he is only going to improve. I have nothing but great things to say about Luck, but I think it will take a few more years and a better understanding of the NFL game before we can put him in the same class as Peyton. If it were possible to have Manning's understanding of the game with Luck's physical attributes, that would be unstoppable.

Gurden may be a bit here and there with guys.  But the man does know football pretty well and he does watch his fair share of film.  When he's on MNF, it's a show.  When he's on radio shows just talking football, he's a bit more real.  While he's wishy-washy from time to time, I've never heard him say anyone's the greatest QB in football except when he's talking about a handful of guys - Brees, Manning, Brady, Rodgers.  And even then, from my recollection, i'ts usually a particular trait about said football player, not that he's the greatest of all QBs in the game today. 

 

Now I'm not going to put all my stock in Gruden's opinion and I'll wait till Luck proves it on the field.  Regardless, it's good group of QBs to be associated with, if you ask me.

If it is then he has changed his mind because he is the one that nicknamed Peyton the Sheriff.  haha  He needs to come up with another name for Luck. :)

Yeah that's what I meant. I was saying he coined the nickname for our previous stud QB so does he have naming rights for our current one?

      AR said he couldn't run or plant the way he wanted to.   Shane didn't put him back in because he was hurt

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      Find a hobby. Listen to the game instead of watching it while you do that hobby, or home maintenance. I’ve been really busy during this football season and am watching less games. I haven’t been able to watch a full game yet this year. Just can’t afford to waste 3+ hours on Sundays anymore. So if I can I’ll listen to the game otherwise I’ve got things to do. So my advice would be that if you find a hobby or enjoy working on things around the house, listening to the game while doing those things can be more enjoyable.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.

      Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias.

      I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result.
