Gavin Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The same thing as year one, Not locking onto predetermined receivers, scrambling and sliding as needed using checkdowns more as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash7 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think he greatly improved last year. He only threw 9 INTs during the regular season and unfortunately, most people will remember the 7 that he threw in the playoffs. He does need to sharper when in scoring position. He was not too efficient in the red zone, settling for FG' rather scoring TD's. I think the number of TD's thrown needs to be in the 30's. Just my opinion of course.

If you've got a big topic to talk about, a topic like Andrew Luck, why share it now? Why post today, June 27? There's barely anyone here to talk football now. Not only are the players and coaches taking a month off from football, so are most fans here on Colts.com.... Why not save it for mid or late July? Personally, I've got a list of topics to share with everyone here, and I won't post them for quite some time. Seriously, I've got a small list of topics to talk about that is roughly 10 deep and growing. But, I mean, what's the point? There are so few of us here now... I'm not saying don't visit the website and I'm not saying don't post.... but a big topic, a hot Colts topic... feels like shouting to an empty room...... Just some food for thought....

And having inexperienced receivers last year didn't help. I think it will get better as he grows as a player, and as the offense grows together.

jameszeigler834 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 what do you see that andrew still needs to improve on to get better in year three?he needs to make better decisions when the pressure is on he tends to force it when it isn't there he needs to throw it away more he needs to not take so many shots but on the other hand the whole team was inconsistent after Wayne went down and as for the playoffs the whole team played like crap in those two games not just luck we just got lucky and won one of them. Also in the pats game the defense didn't do luck any favors at all and yes his red zone stats need to improve but there is always going to be room for improvement but the team wasn't as bad in the redzone as you think.

trueblueblood Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 a lot of people look at andrew's picks in the playoffs and think its all him, but people tend to forget that almost our entire offense was made up of 2nd year players. luck, fleener, richardson, hilton, brazill, whalen, rogers was a rookie, not to mention ballard and allen. and heyward-bey was just terrible. this is a young team with a young offense. the offense is built around a core of very young, talented players and we're improving every year. the only thing andrew needs to do is continue to work hard like we all know he does.

SOMDColtsfan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Not sure how much is Andrew and how much was a bad O line but..not locking onto WR`s would also help him progress in seeing the "open" man. More time to throw = a better Andrew Luck hopefully. Would like to see him progress even more in throwing the high ball, it sailing on him. He seemed to get better with that later last season.

Whats wrong with our draft? If you look at the draft as whole, it was a stellar draft. got better at O-line, WR, picked up CB's and Safety's. If you haven't heard of Moncrief or Mehort then it sounds like you didn't watch any college football. Not to mention Purifoy and Cox. I think maybe because you haven't heard of them, that you classify the draft as bad.

He struggled a bit the few weeks after Reggie went down, but he really improved on using other weapons in our offense and going through his reads when he didn't have Ol' Reliable Reggie Wayne as his escape route. I think he will be vastly improved this year with Reggie and Dwayne back, a (hopefully) improved O-Line, improvements in TY, Fleener, and whoever we keep out of Rogers/Brazzil/Whalen, as well as new weapons in Nicks and Moncrief. Hopefully the big bodies of Nicks, Moncrief, and Rogers (assuming he makes our 53) plus the return of Dwayne Allen will help Andrew in the red zone -- TY is a game-breaker but is more dangerous when we are 80 yards out than when we are 8 yards out -- these big guys should help tremendously in the red zone.

I too believe losing Reggie was a blessing and his return is more about him that the TEAM improving. Reggie does a great job drifting into openings in the zones but last season he wasn`t outrunning anybody doing it. Andrew did target a variety of receivers as the season went on but not so much inside of individual games. I saw a guy making some quality pre-snap reads and then pretty much consistently holding onto the ball till his choice came clearly out of the break. This caused the ball often getting to the receiver later than was best resulting in defenders getting their hands in their.Throw this in with his accuracy being off the sweet spot a couple feet and you end up with a guy who was rated in the middle as a passer. He will have a running game, more time to throw (Castonzo??) and have better receivers so i have No Doubt he will look much better as the season goes along. Building ... the Monster O.
