Justify why Andrew Luck is/was worth the #1 pick

After reading the entire thread about why Cam Newton is or isn't worth the #1 pick I was pretty frustrated. I didn't really see many legit reasons besides character issues, amount of time playing in college, and the type of offense he ran. The rest just turned to racism and flaming of one another.

So why was Luck worth the #1 to so many. It seemed as if most people blindly jumped on the luck bandwagon. I mean a ton of things said about why Newton is not worth the pick apply to Luck. Only difference is that everyone in the media had luck going as the number 1. I would love to hear what some people have to say on this matter.

...complete package?

good arm, tremendous accuracy, awesome decision making, great feet, good command of the pocket, amazing leadership, NO character issues?

thanks. you just made me feel even worse.

edit: forgot, played in a pro-style offense, incredibly smart, prepares hard for every game...

Why, well, one is he has a great arm with power and accuracy. Second, he's VERY smart (he plays for Stanford) and his dad was a former quarterback, so he learned from him. Third, people wont notice or seem to care about this one, BUT he can also run and he doenst run too soon. Hard to find many bad things on his game.

Luck and Newton both kind of had 1 hit wonder types of years. I guess Luck and possibly Newton if he does not declare for the NFL, Will get to prove it next season.

I was wondering when someone would post this. I did drink the Luck cool aid, but I did wonder about that. My bet is Luck's status will drop significantly with him playing again next year at Stanford.

      Trade deadline thread

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
