1. Apparently none of you would draft Troy Polamalu, because having shaggy hair like that means he isnt as good of a person as Andrew Luck is.

2. Wonderlic = Coordination. Both Quarterbacks are in extreme majors at good colleges. They are both very intelligent.

3. Luck ran an extremely condensed pro style offense with decent players around him. RG3 ran a spread with one receiver and 9 scrubs. Also it is worth mentioning that Cam Newton ran a spread (best Rookie in the history of the NFL).

4. Regarding Luck, I find the way he behaves asinine and fake. He tries WAY too hard to convince everyone he is a good ole boy. Everyone time I have seen or heard RG3 speak, he is extremely honest and well spoken, he is a jokester, and and an entertaining person in general. He seems unaware that he is a complete dork, and hes the kind of person that would energize the locker room.

Every time I hear Luck's wind up "Can't miss quarterback with intangibles and a coach for a father, hardest worker ever" all i can think is that I am being pitched at.

I'll take RG3 and his arm strength, accuracy, and physical superiority over Luck and his "Motor that never quits" any day.

i don't care if a guy has braids or not, but troy p didn't have braids. i do think the whole polynesian hair thing is silly, though

one QB went #1
the other QB had a team mortgage the future to move up and pick him #2

nobody is saying there is this huge gap between the 2

Wait a minute -- you mean the Colts drafted a guy who ran a pro-style offense in college? I thought you were suggesting they drew up plays in the sand, but the Colts drafted him no. 1 JUST BECAUSE HE IS WHITE? I'm so confused.

I know, right? And STILL he hasn't been drafted!

I'm not familiar with him, but I assume he must have been a white QB to be picked no. 1.

LOLWUT? So you are saying the Wonderlic tests your physical coordination? Since when is a 50 question multiple choice test deal with coordination?

I get not liking some guy for no particular reason - but you have to realize this is your particular bias and not extrapolate so negatively RE: everyone else who does like him

And yeah, Luck has a little bit of the Tebow goody goody golden boy thing - but so far as I can tell he is not a publicity hound and has handled his fame and success very well
