I've always thought the pundits underrated Luck's athleticism. He doesn't need to be Micheal Vick....he just needs to be able to avoid the pass rush. I personally don't want him playing a ton out of the pocket. It will be nice to have a QB who can roll out or bootleg to mix it up.

For Luck even be in Cam's ballpark on the combine drills is mind blowing. Very impressive because his knowledge of the game and his passing will blow Cam away down the road. Luck has MORE upside than Peyton when he first came out but we'll see how that pans out down the road. I don't want to jinx him or anything. LOL

40 yrd: Newton 4.59, Luck 4.67 (unofficially 4.59)

Broad: Newton 10'6", Luck 10'4"

Vertical: Newton 35", Luck 36"

3 cone: Newton 6.92, Luck 6.80

20 yrd shuffle: Newton 4.18, Luck 4.28

So pretty much on the same level as Newton athletically... and people genuinely claim athleticism is a weakness for him, are they crazy?

This kid is becoming more and more exciting. I cant believe he has the athleticism of a Cam and the brain of a Stanford grad. We are fortunate.

There were several guys with better numbers then Griffins..........does not mean there better QB's then Griffin.

Well last year Cam's numbers didn't sway anyone from thinking he was far from being competitive in the pro's. So since the name has changed it makes them better? I don't get what is so special he posted the same numbers as Newton? Or why it is a "Wow?"

40 yd dash official times: RG3 = 4.41 Luck = 4.67

Vertical leap: RG3 = 39" Luck = 36"

Broad Jump : RG3 = 10'0" Luck = 10'4"

Elusiveness tests:

3 Cone drill: RG3 placed out of the top 10. Luck placed in the top 5

20 yd shuttle" RG3 placed out of the top 10. Luck placed in the top 5.

Well if you would understand most believe Luck was not a very good athelete but Cam was an incredible athelete. The "wow" factor is that Luck is not only an intelligent QB but a very atheletic intelligent QB.

Does anyone think RGIII gained a ton of respect and admiration through this combine (the on-going combine in Indy), I for one think he has amassed huge kudos from Colts staffers and throughout the league. He's also faster than lightning.....does anyone know how he compares to Michael Vick's combine numbers???

Chris,

This is a message to you and all others who are oblivious to what is going on and what is about to happen. The Colts will draft Andrew Luck and not RG3.............also Manning will not take another snap as a Colt.

None of you would make it a day on a job with me. Wake Up!!

      Taking Taylor off the field

      Not trying to over simplify but it is pretty simple. SS calls plays that he believes will work against a certain defense and he has confidence his players will execute that play. The results right now are that his players are NOT capable of executing those plays on a consistent basis enough to win games. The only question moving forward is, do we have good enough players to start to execute more consistently or not and is SS making it as easy as possible for players to be consistent. It's not just a talent thing. It's a attitude and smart thing and then the level of talent. Most of the time, the best players are the smartest players with the right attitude. How talented they are is a bonus. My point, i question our teams attitude and football intelligence as much as I question their talent. Ex.....Stopping the run is as much attitude as it is talent. A big part of why JT is JT, is because of his intellegence.

      Thanks for the updates.  I made my "first pass" projected picks based on where the players are ranked on tankathon right now.  Obviously, subject to change!

      Too Soon to Panic

      The biggest problem is that the rest of the team is playing like trash around the rookie QB.    Of course the essentially rookie QB that has played 6 NFL games is going to be a rollercoaster.  He's known to have accuracy issues, and is for some reason being forced to be a pocket passer.    When the highest paid O-line in the league can't block, that's problem.  When the WR's can't catch passes that bounce off their hands, that's a problem.  When the highly invested in $$ D-Line (like 5 1st or 2nd rd players) can't block and LB's get consistenly washed, that's a problem.  When the highest paid kicker in the league can't kick and gets hurt constantly, that's a problem.  When the defensive scheme is to "bend not break" but the bends are to the tune of 100 yards a series, that's a problem.   Now's the time to strike in other areas while you have a QB on a rookie contract. Actually, this all should've been figured out already by the GM and all positions should've been rock solid by now.
