The Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning Comparison (Through 23 Games)

[BlueShoe]

Disclaimer: As always, please disregard this thread if you do not want to participate in the comparison of Andrew Luck to Peyton Manning. Kind of silly not to at this point though. They will be compared long after they have both retired. The media compared them the entire week, and they will continue to do so. 

 

Great team win tonight, and Luck played his butt off. Luck's 8 rushing touchdowns in his first 23 games are among the leaders for quarterbacks in that stretch.

 

Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning are now even through 23 games with combined passing and rushing touchdowns at 41.

 

We are blessed as Colts fans to have these two great quarterbacks and men play for the shoe.

 

As always Peyton Manning is a class act!
