It's time to take the training wheels off of luck.

I really feel like pep is holding andrew and this team back. It's almost *ic the way pep calls plays. All you have to do is look at the 2 minute offense and the entire second half to see that luck needs to pass the ball much, much more. He looks masterful in the uptempo style of offense. How long is pep going to get away with his terrible play calling?

I would consider it even worse play calling if Luck passes 60 times a game every game.

I think people expect too much from Luck. People need to consider that he's just beginning his third season. He still has some room for development.

He's been called the 5th best qb in the league. Of course people expect a lot out of him. It seems he's been trained not to use his athleticism. As a pocket passer, I think he's a little above avg. He may not even be as good as Matt Ryan. For him to really take that leap, he needs to run more or at least move the pocket. This guy refuses to leave the pocket at times. He's really stubborn.

So how much more does the Colts need to throw the ball? Any more and it will be 100%. Pep's play calling was just fine. The second half play was because we were behind big time not because it was by design. It was not Pep who was off target on more than 2 passes. It was not Pep that called the failed QB run at the goal line. I am not being negative to Luck but you cant blame every problem the Colts had on Pep in that game.

That's what we need. Luck needs to become a running QB so the odds of injury goes way up. Might as well do away with the RBs while we are at it. We don't need them being Luck is such a great runner.

Maybe I don't know enough about the Denver front 7, but why didn't we roll Luck out more? Get him in space with a bootleg, then if pass play isn't there he can run for a few.

We are in year 3 and the fact we havent seen any QB option plays ran for Luck really bothers me. 

 

I watched a lot of football this week, and it seemed nearly every team had at least 1 option play. When we have arguably the best athlete on the field in Luck, I think this is something we need to implement.

 

Im not saying we need a Cam/RG3 Option based offense, but I think a more mild version of the Sea/Wilson option offense would do wonders for this team. 6x a game would seem about right to me.

Andrew doesn't look comfortable behind the line, probably from years of working behind a terrible OL. If you're operating in panic mode, you're going to make some bad decisions - especially against a good team.  During the year, I hope he finds he can rely on the other members of the team (besides Reggie) to do a superior job.  Of course, that means the other players are going to have to earn that trust.  If it happens, it will happen in due time.

Pep Hamilton may not be a bad OC, but he is predictably "formulaic".  Given some down, distance, time, score and position on the field, when you can close your eyes and usually call the play about to be run, that's not good. If a dummy like me can call these plays, then any good DC could call them as well.

I actually liked the play calling. The run plays didn't look obvious presnap and had some passing plays out of run formations, I liked it. Maybe if we weren't behind by so much we can see the offense show some balance.
