I have nothing against the kid. I just hate the whole "Chosen One" label our media places on certain QBs, then go out of their way to convince us of how great the QB is with selective talking points.

 

Luck play has never impressed me. He just seems like a average QB who has good timing, gets a lot of lucky breaks,  media hype, and despot what the media wants us to believe a very good team around him. He almost got picked off back-to-back but no one would be making much out of that especially if his team wins.

 

Yet if it were Cam getting the praise you'd have ZERO issue with it. ZERO. And ANY fan of another team who ragged on Cam you'd fiercely bash the guy. 

 

Luck broke one of Cam's "first two seasons" records and he's going to break Cam's "first three seasons" record.

 

Just face it, Luck is just as good as Cam. Some will say better. Get over your hate. He stayed in school because he didn't want to play here and the media likes him more than Cam. GET OVER IT.

I agree that his playoff performance last year was way too glossed over and that if Cam or Wilson put up a turnover filled performance like that it would never be brushed aside so easily. And he does play in a weak division. But to act like he's in the lower half of the league and then to suggest his passing yards are due to dumping it off to RBs (in a game where his running backs have combined for 25 receiving yards out of over 300) just shows you aren't watching.

U are the one compare Luck to Cam. Cam isn't playing with the same weapons as Luck and he still manages to help his team win. Advantage Cam.

 

What is even more sad is the endless deceptive Peyton Manning/Luck Comparison. The media is still trying to sell folks like you the BS that Luck inherited the same type of team Peyton had in 1989. Far from it

    • 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
