Finally, somebody has called Luck overrated

[Jangler]

Bob Ryan on ATH had the guts to call Andrew Luck overrated, and in the same breath say that Cam is getting better and better.

Luck was destined for this as he had extreme expectations placed on him following in the foot steps of peyton manning. not the kids fault.

...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....

I am so glad Luck stayed in school.

He needed it!!!!

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.

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.

Cam's biggest rival is, and will be for a long time, Matt Ryan.

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.

As you guys are talking about Cam's biggest rival, will it be Winston?

Doesn't change the fact he is overrated and has been since college.

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.

to be fair Bob Ryan is a massive Pats homer so I have no doubt that he had no good things to say about Luck.

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.
