Monday Night Countdown: Andrew Luck needs more around him.

Benjamin, Olsen, Stewart, etc is better than what the Colts have, TBH. And their o-line is trash. Luck just puts up massive numbers and wins anyway because they play terrible teams and he tm throws 50+ times a game. 

The problem I have is...

When Luck is completing 55% of his passes for 3 TD, 2Int & a Fumble but the Colts win anyway because they're playing the Jaguars it's "OMG Luck is amazing!!! Greatest young QB ever!!! MVP & SB favorite!!!"

Then when they start a season with one loss, literally one loss, it's "OMG POOR LUCK HE HAS NO HELP!!! INDY NEEDS A NEW HC, OC, OL, WR, RB & DEFENSE LUCK CAN'T DO IT ALL GODDAMMIT!!!"

don't agree with the first part but I do agree with the second.

Luck is good.  Luck also plays like he has an elite D that will makeup for lots of dumb throws.   National media tends to overlook all his dumb plays. 

This^^^

The media touts him as a God when he has a few 4th quarter comebacks.  However, they overlook the fact that they needed miraculous 4th quarter comebacks because he threw 3 Int in the first three quarters due to bad decision.

andrew luck sucks because he plays in the AFCS but the panthers are a contender even though we've only played AFCS teams so far. also football is a team sport for when cam has bad games and gets blown up by a porous o-line but the colts are different b/c they play with 22 andrew lucks.

We aren't the ones hyping him man, it's the media that says poo like "Andrew Luck is the best qb ever" as well as "Andrew Luck carries the Colts", while at the same time placing blame on Cam for everything. So really, this thread is simply counteracting ESPN.

Great point.

Reminds me of old Jake Delhommme. Loved his fire. But that man would put the team in some tough situations. Yet, he'd usually find a way to pull us out of his horrible mistakes. When he couldn't put together those 4th quarter comebacks, everyone started to acknowledge how bad he really was.

Last nights game was so much fun. Luck would make a terrible play and then Gruden goes on about how great Luck is or blames any player not named Luck.  We laughed our asses off all night. 

It was almost as epic as when Mike Vick returned and Joe Theismann said his name like 500 times.  They shouldn't show that stuff on TV. Kids could be watching.

    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st. 
    • Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
