Luck was the only significant change to the colts and has taken them from a 2 win team to nearly 10 wins and a playoff run. Using just QB rating in the evaluation is too simplistic.


Huh? The Colts brought in Donnie Avery, TY Hilton, Coby Fleener, and Dwayne Allen. They've surrounded him with skill position talent.

quote:

The one person that should be mentioned is Morris. Dude has been a stud for washington all year.


O Morris is an absolute beast, there's zero doubting that. However, RG3 and the scheme Washington runs because of him is a huge reason for Morris' success. It's basically Shanahan's patented zone blocking scheme combined with the zone read which keeps you from having to block the dominant freakish DEs that are so prevalent in this league.

If you want to bring up changes for Washington this year, though, how come no mention of the loss of their two best defensive players?

quote:

Luck has taken a lot of risks in order to win games. When you are asked to throw the ball 40+ times a game as a rookie and your team makes the playoffs: you are worthy of rookie of the year discussions.


People mention all the "risks" Luck takes. How about RG3? Every one of those reads is on him. You knew you were going to be throwing the ball 40 times with Luck, that's why you did nothing but draft and sign skill players.

Morris scored 2 touchdowns this week without RG3 and his read option.

also when you start off your rant with

Will it be the most ridiculous, shameful selection of all-time?


that doesn't make me want to read any further. not sure about others, but that's just outlandish. Luck is having an amazing year. statistics aren't everything. look at the 4th quarter comebacks he's orchestrated. he's very impressive.

i'm not saying he should win it over others, but to say it's the most ridiculous thing of all time is just in itself ridiculous

So the Colts rely on Luck, Hilton, Fleener, Allen and Ballard as their 5 offensive weapons (rookies) to go along with an aging Reggie Wayne, who is having one of his best seasons ever under Luck?

Interdasting. Every team in the nfl should add 5 offensive rookies since that's the recipe for success. No wonder they're winning more than 2 games
