'Andrew 6,000' ?

[oldunclemark]

2 years ago. 'Andrew 5000' seemed unlikely. Now it's already outdated..

The new, improved Luck...with full consent of the coaches, now fires at will to a squad of ace pass catchers

..to the point that.....

If Andrew averages 417 yards a game the final 7 weeks, he will hit the almost unthinkable total of 6,000 yards

passing..

'Andrew 6,000', the MVP upgrade.

Would you say it cannot happen?

[Nobody]

Yeah, I would. Has he ever passed for 417 yards? Edit- there was the 433 game setting the rookie record vs Miami.

[TKnight24]

Possible, but doubt it.

We really need to start committing to the running game. If we make the playoffs, gonna be too cold to be slinging the rock 40+ times. Get the running game going Pep. Well, it's there just gotta commit

[PrincetonTiger]

It would be tough but yes

[NewColtsFan]

Possible....   but a real, real long shot.

 

He's got 3,085 yards in 9 games.

 

The odds of him getting 2,915 yards in 7 games are very small.

 

Be happy he'll likely pass Peyton for most yards in a single season  (5,477?)

 

And then we can all see how long that record lasts....

[chad hugo]

That would be great to see as a fan but realistically, I would prefer to have the running game more involved so Luck doesn't have to throw the ball 40 times a game.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Not this season anyway

[SteelDragon]

I'm just glad we have what it takes to win in today's NFL- An offense led by a star player that can put butts in the stadium seats.  Having been through the Manning years, I don't care about individual records anymore. We've been there/done that.

Luck's brand is building steam and this is a coming out season for him of sorts.  The fact that he has lived up to all of the hype bodes well for this franchise's Superbowl aspirations for the next decade plus.

[Stephen]

not this year wouldn't mind seeing andrew 50 td but he'd have to throw 24 tds in 7 games

[Combsey]

Hey that's only about four a game

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Naa. Not happening.

[sfergson727]

As long as we win the Superbowl, I'm good with what ever totals Luck has this year, be they records or not.

[scousecolt]

Whatever happens any offensive free agents will be looking at the Colts as an attractive option.

[crazycolt1]

I hope Luck don't have to put up those type of numbers. If we have learned anything from the past is the defense needs more time on the sidelines resting when the offense has the ball. Ball control is more important than Luck breaking any records. With winter coming on the running game needs to be better.

[Narcosys]

No way possible. Has anyone thrown for over 400 yards for 7 straight games?

[ColtsLegacy]

No way possible. Has anyone thrown for over 400 yards for 7 straight games?

 

No, not even close, but that's ok because Luck only has to average 417 yards a game, not throw 417 yards a game. Therefore, he can throw 200 yards one game and 600 yards the next, or 100 then 700, or 300 then 500, etc. Easy-peasy.

[OLD FAN MAN]

he can, if we protect luck

[texascolt]

It would be nice, but won't happen.

[oldunclemark]

we've tried 3 years to run the ball and we just don't do it well..

I like Luck throwing 40 times a game...

We're built that way..we have been from the draft 3 years ago...

[dw49]

Sure , he just needs to pass for about 900 yards in one game and that would set him up to have a shot at 6000 yards. He would then need to average 335.8 yards and he gets there.

WE have to throw the ball and stop thinking lie its 1984

WE have a squad of top receivers ..and young ones improving.

When we run the ball.....we do the other team's defense a favor. New England would love us to try to establish the run

[That Guy]

No, not even close, but that's ok because Luck only has to average 417 yards a game, not throw 417 yards a game. Therefore, he can throw 200 yards one game and 600 yards the next, or 100 then 700, or 300 then 500, etc. Easy-peasy.

Or he can throw 834 yards one week, and take the next week off!

Do you ever internalize what you are saying before you actually put it out there for everyone else to see?

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic or joking.

[Narcosys]

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic or joking.

I was hoping so.

[oldunclemark]

the best way for the Colts to win is for Andrew to throw for as many yards as possible..

Our line..our RBs..are not capable of moving the ball consistently

..we've all said it for 3 years

[ColtsLegacy]

It's nice to know you think I'm that stupid.

No YOU'VE said it for 3 years and most have disagreed with you. This year is not the past two years. The colts have been running the ball well this year. A lot of the pressure from the giants game was due to the colts flat out not even trying to run the ball.

You should really stop with this nonsense. Never, ever is a viable run game a bad thing.

[Defjamz26]

not this year wouldn't mind seeing andrew 50 td but he'd have to throw 24 tds in 7 games

 

That's actually possible. That's an average of about 3+ Touchdowns a game. And he's basically doing that now. Don't forget we have the teams we have left to play against: Jags, Titans, Texans, Browns, Redskins, Cowboys, and Pats. The only team he might not go off against is the Pats. He could have 4 TD games against the Jags, Titans, Texans, Cowboys, and Redskins easy.

[Dark Superman]

I'd be happy with Andrew 5,000 and a Super Bowl ring.

[HtownColt]

I'd be happy with "Andrew 60"...touchdowns that is, can really care less about the yards

[backshoulderfade]

Well I wont be happy until we have Andrew 158.3

[RockThatBlue]

I'd be happy with Andrew 5,000 and a Super Bowl ring.

This.

[Dr. Guildo]

If they put a solid o-line in front of him the sky is the limit in the future. I'm thinking, and perhaps hoping that the run game will be more involved... and Luck will be sitting on the bench coming down to the end of the game. However, I don't think we will see him sitting as early as we have seen with past teams. 

[Valpo2004]

Certainly not happening this season, although he's throwing for enough yards to seriously threaten the record which is honestly being under reported from what I can see.  

[ProblChld32]

Possible? yes buy likely? no i Just want him to play smart football i could care less about setting records or accolades. The yards will come one way or another, i like the pace that he has been going at. 

[oldunclemark]

Its not a record....

I want the Colts to throw 40 times a game because that's how we're built.

I dont care about adhearing to outdated views of balance...

Andrew is throwing the ball 43 times a game..and avaraing 340 yards and 3 TDs a game...

.and we are winning. Keep it up.

I think there's more there to mine...Max up his protection and incorporate the 'virtual run' passes to the backs.

Bradshaw and TRich are everaging 8 yards a reception but just 5 and 4 a run.

That tells us what we should do

It's not about adhering to a view.  It's about keeping the defense honest.  It's about helping the offense, helping the passing attack, helping the pass blocking.    You say averaging 5 and 4 yards per rush like it's a bad thing.  How is that possibly a bad thing?
