Those are the final 15-game numbers for Andrew Luck....who was sacked 41 times..

..his W-L record was 8-7....

 

as wobbly as it looked at times, Andrew was 24 of 40 for 321 yards, 2 Tds, one INT in the final game

Yeah he had a great season overall contrary to what many posters think.  I also feel that most in the sports world would agree.  A lot of work to do in the off season but he'll be ready to roll again next year.  

 

Mine of his best years stat wise, team just had so many gaping holes and injuries. 

[NorthernBlue]

This season I actually think was better than his 2014 season (4 761 yards 40 td 16 picks). His completion percentage was higher, his decision making was a bit better, plus he played one less game, and still got 30 tds.

 

Still got some things to work on, as he still sometimes holds onto the ball too long, looking for the deep pass. But he's more inclined to dump it down and go for the check down option if nothing is there. I would like to see him go through his progressions a bit faster (but that's just me).

 

tl;dr He's playing smarter and safer, yet still has that aggressiveness and that ability to push the ball down the field and get points. Next year he should be even better.

[oldunclemark]

I don't know but I think he was playing with a sore shoulder most of the year.

We didnt make the playoffs so its not a great season..

..but we're spoiled when it come to QB play..we really are.

[Boiler_Colt]

If before the season I told you Andrew would have this stat line, TY would lead the league in receiving, Gore would get 1000 yards, Walden would have 11 sacks, and wed have two of the worst QB's in the league in our division, it would have been inconceivable that we dont win the division easily much less finish third. Just a bizarre season all around.

[VocableLoki]

Great season from Luck and the offense as a whole really. If we get the defense in better shape then the division will be there to be won.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I would say this is solid Good, it would've been Very Good had we won the Division. I thought his 2014 Season was in possibly the Great category with 40 TD's/16 INT's and over 4700 Yards + making the Title Game. Having said that all in all 8-7 record with 31/13 and over 4,000 Yards is Good at worse.

[Fisticuffs111]

Great season for him especially with the beating he took.

Did we ever get a reasoning for the glove he wore this week and last week that only covered his thumb? I wouldn't have thought anything of it but he kind of struggled with some snap drops and a few oddly inaccurate short throws today.

He just never says whether he's hurt or not

[BullsColtsFan1]

He had a solid year.  I hope he comes back next year with a chip on his shoulders.  I hope stays healthy too!

[backshoulderfade]

First season in a new system, really. Shame he will be in another next year.

He first wore it against the Vikings. Said he cut his hand, didn't want blood on the ball making it slippery. Maybe he liked the glove and decided to keep wearing it... 

[OffensivelyPC]

But, Luck's not the real deal. Cant read defenses. Throws into double coverage...white noise, white noise...

[AZColt11]

He gud.  Reel gud.  Would like to see a stat of his throws where he isn't getting the hell beat out of him.

[Dark Superman]

What good is this if we can't even make the playoffs? Let alone win the South.

[Coltsman1788]

Luck had a nice season statistically speaking.  Something to build on.

It somehow makes some Colts fans feel better about things I guess.  Like T.Y. winning the receiving title or Gore finally breaking 1,000 yards on the season.  Silver linings in a disappointing overall campaign.  Let them have it.  lol

We do have holes to fill, but the constant(It seems) injuries are what's holding us back IMO. Serious thought should be put into possibilities of changing LOS playing surface, or the way the FO approaches practices/weight training. Something HAS to give with the constant injuries!!

Yup. Luck finished with a career high completion % and a career high QBR. Hes also thrown a TD in 25 straight games, which is the longest streak in the NFL. Luck is not a perfect QB, but hes dang good and I'm glad hes on our team.

 

Sometimes I do wonder if coaching holds him back from being even better than what he is. Look at the game plans we used against the Jets and Vikings, and then we don't use that game plan during the Texans games etc...

 

Overall a very good year for him. 

[oldunclemark]

I think Andrew also has 64 carries for 341 yards.....

That just shows how bad our D was this year.

Yeah I wonder the same thing also.  Luck is phenomenal in the no huddle but for some reason they only run it in seldomly or if they get down big, need a quick score ect.  I have no idea why the heck they don't run it when their O goes stagnant...

Its a mystery why we don't run the no huddle more. Luck is phenomenal almost every time we do it, yet we only use it at desperate times.

I don't get it either. I would do it to start games actually so if we do score it puts pressure on the other team and helps our Defense out bigtime.

I agree. It could be a way to kill the slow starts that plague this team. Assuming the staff sticks around that is.

 

If we do get a new staff, for the love of God call some rollouts for Luck, and use the no huddle more. 5 years of this regime and we don't use Lucks legs as a weapon, or use him in the no huddle enough. Those are 2 things that need changed.

It's just silver lining stuff, I agree. People just pointing out Positives which I would rather read than people bashing the team. The spoiled/entitled fans in here would bash our team even if we made the SB and lost because we lost in the SB LOL. Is anyone really happy unless we win the SB, in reality - NO. We made the AFC Title Game in 2014 and Luck had a career season and people still complained to no end because we lost at Foxboro where most teams get blown out at anyway. So it is what it is I guess.

I agree 100%. I think Luck was held back this season from running because of being injured in 2015. When he runs we are much more dangerous, he just has to be smart about it.

[a06cc]

This season has been 50/50 for the offsense and defense. Three things stuck out to me. Slow starts, no pass rush, and couldn't play with a lead.

This is the philosophy of the Manning years, and allowed D-Free and Mathis to tee off and become who they are as pro's.

QFT. Was sayin' this exact same thing to my wife Sunday during the game. Luck has been very good to great at this since college, so why not play to his strengths more!?!
