Skip Bayless said the same. He's been overrated since entering the league. But like chknwing said, it's not Luck's fault. All of his turnovers the first few years were overlooked because they we're winning. Now they're not, so he's regressed. He's a gunslinger that needs to eliminate stupid throws. This season will do more for his growth than the last couple winning seasons, despite all the turnovers.

...Luck is solid...dont bullsht yourself..... this is one of the first Cam vs Luck meetings... it'll go down like Brady vs Manning over the years... btw, i'm a Cam supporter....

 

Nah, Cam and Luck don't play each other enough for it to be a rivalry.  This is Cam's 5th year in the league, Luck's 4th, and this was the first time they've played each other.  Cam's biggest rival is Russell Wilson.

Yeah, unless Luck goes the NFC or we play the Colts in the Super Bowl every year then they will only meet once every 4 years. Can't really have a rivalry meeting that infrequently.

The Colts have fired their OC because of Luck. 

That is sad. 

Luck isn't a bad qb.  

He has always been more of a gunslinger, rather the more cerebral Manning type, that the media has said he is since before he was drafted. 

Gunslinger types tend to have higher interceptions, than then other capable qbs.

I think it was Bomani Jones said something, in reference to the deep bomb to Ginn in OT that would have been the walk-off TD, along the lines of "that was the most athletically arrogant throw I've ever seen, and it hit him perfectly".


Luck will be a good QB for years to come, no doubt. He will need an improved defense to win against real contenders because he will throw more picks, being a gunslinger.

Wilson is Cam's biggest nemesis. That will change because Wilson, I don't think, has the staying power in the league to really push a guy like Cam. Winston will be another Josh Freeman. He'll look decent for a couple of years, but then just implode and be worthless.

Matt Ryan will be a big rival for Cam for the next 5-7 years.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
