This is coming from someone who agrees with luck being overrated, but really Alex smith is on his level?? Smith has only been relevant with a stout O-line and stud RBs like Gore and Charles. Luck has a bunch of nobodies on the line and the best RB he's ever is had is Bradshaw (who's had how many injuries?)

 

Like Luck is behind the Panthers' O-line and their RBs. In all of the times I've watch Luck play, I have to honestly say that I don't see the hype. And it's not a white boy thing because I do believe Alex is equal to Luck. Just like Luck, he became the benefactor of great coaching.

 

Luck isn't a good passer. He gets by on his RBs getting as much yards out of his short throws. They are his saving grace because he can throw short routes to them and get some yards from them.. Has Luck seriously thrown for so many yards or is he getting credit for what his RBs are doing?

RBs? Dude have you heard of TY Hilton? You obviously do not watch Luck play.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
