Andrew Luck in Pro Bowl


L-TownCat

Recommended Posts

Am I losing my mind or did i watch some other ugly kid with a horse shoe on his hat throw 1000 interceptions? So Tom Brady declines the Pro Bowl and L-yuck gets in?

Lets not forget that our own Carolina Panthers are sitting at home with no one going to the game. It's just hard for me to fathom that Luck is more deserving than the 50 guys on our roster.

I'm well aware that he plays in the AFC not the NFC

He plays in the AFC though

We are in the NFC...which is the stronger conference in my opinion

You don't say? I must have missed that somewhere.

Really though, not my point about which conference he is in. My point is that Andrew Luck is not a pro bowl caliber player right now. Further making this "game" a joke.

Luck had a good season. He helped Colts to the playoffs and yes, he did have a lot of interceptions because they asked him to throw too much. Luck's arm isn't as strong as Cam, Flacco or Stafford. I expect fewer INTs next year when they return to WCO. He was better than a lot AFC Quarterbacks like Dalton and Schaub.

I don't understand the Luck, WIlson, RG3 or Kaep hate. Cam will be in the playoffs and has more talent, but it just took more time and Panthers had more bad luck then the other teams. The team needed 4 more plays to make the playoffs.

luck has played one season in the NFL and tied for the second most interceptions thrown in the league.

he's going to be good as he continues to develop but he's not on schaub's tier at this point. no way.

Luck's certainly not all they cracked him up to be. No. However, he probably does deserve the Pro Bowl nod, considering his team went from the number one pick, to winning 11 games and making the playoffs (regardless of the teams poor schedule), and he certainly contributed to it. Good for him! Remember, it's the AFC.

Brady declined, somebody had to go, right?

Luck did have six come from behind wins and a playoff berth as a rookie.

Name the rest of the qbs in the AFC to choose from and Luck is the obvious choice.

    • 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
