After 3 games, Andrew Luck is on pace to throw for 5,000 yds and 50 TDs

and through the NFL's first three weeks, Andrew Luck is the No. 1 ranked fantasy quarterback.

however, the Colt's hometown paper, the Indianapolis Star, is urging people to tap the brakes on the Ferrari (which they call Luck):

-they point out: "His fast start may be a bit fluky. Of his nine TDs, only one has been longer than 10 yards... So Luck may be hard-pressed to continue this TD rate"

-and they wrote after Week 2: "Doesn't it seem as if Luck's been rather, well, average? ... between the rash of errant throws, the handful of questionable decisions and the overall unsettled play witnessed from Luck through two weeks, it's hard to argue against this: We haven't seen the best of Andrew Luck thus far in 2014...Luck has misfired a few too many times against the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles."

Yeah, he's kicking serious ass in Fantasy. I wish some people on this board would get over the hate. Luck is elite, period. He broke Cam's record and might do it again. Just have to face it, we have a good one and so do the Colts. 

 

Many think he snubbed us  but after learning about him, staying in school was just the kind of person he is.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
