Andrew Lucks scary blend of talent...

He's still in just his 3rd season, and already might be the best QB in the NFL. And his physical talent is scary, but his mental ability is even better than his physical talent.
IMO, he's a blend of a few QBs. Part Peyton Manning, part Tom Brady, part John Elway, part Cam Newton, part Ben Roethlisberger.
He is an extremely smart and cerebral player, almost robotic at times, like Peyton Manning. He's got that "it factor" and is a winner like Tom Brady. His athleticism and size is a blend of Elway and Newton. And he has the guts to sit in the pocket and throw a perfect pass and then get crushed by a DL or LB like Elway. And his physicality and ability to shrug off DL and LBs like its nothing and keep a play alive is similar to Big Ben.
He came in to the NFL as highly touted as you possibly could. Some people have even said he's the best QB prospect they have ever seen. And in just his 3rd year, it's safe to say he has lived up to those expectations. He's been nothing short of amazing since day 1 in the NFL.
But the scary thing, is that it's just his 3rd season. Manning didn't win a playoff game til his 6th season. He's already this good in his 3rd season... Imagine what he's gonna be like in his 6th year? Think of how much he will improve by then. He's not even in that prime NFL QB age yet. When he gets there, he could be playing the QB position at a level that we have never seen before and might not see ever again.
Every time I watch him I am amazed at how good he is. Then I remember he's just in his 3rd year and it's hard to fathom how good he could be when he's actually in his prime.

Luck already has a career-high 26 touchdowns entering the Week 10 bye. Just the fourth quarterback in history with 3,000 passing yards over the first nine games of the season, he's now on pace to break Peyton Manning's single-season record for passing yards. He's three games shy of breaking Drew Brees' record for the most consecutive 300-yard games.
3rd year...

Going to cruise into the HoF

I thought the hype was too much. I was concerned about his accuracy in college. Happy to be wrong.

I was wondering when he would have his break out year and be "Manning-like." He was obviously quite good his first two years, but this year you can tell he's putting it all together. That offense will be a juggernaut for years to come.

I think he has reached the point where, like Manning, he could make any coach look good.

This. Glad we get to watch him the next decade

Same here... I thought the expectations put on Luck were unrealistic. I mean to be called the best QB prospect since Elway, or ever by some... That was just too much.
Nope... Not for Luck. He has surpassed the hype and expectations placed on him out of college IMO. He's amazing.

Luck is off the charts good. If he stays healthy and Indy keeps any kind of talent around him, he is an HoF lock. May be in the conversation for GOAT in 10 years.
ETA: Let's pump the brakes on the current Peyton comparisons until he takes over as his own OC.

He could wind up being the greatest QB to ever play the game.

tom dickslaps him in the playoffs every year bruh

Which is why I said might... You could argue he is and a lot of people think he is. And he's also a serious MVP candidate right now and probably the MVP through the 1st half of the season.
In his 3rd year...

Let's relax gents. Manning was second team all pro in his second and third years. Luck didnt acomplish that. He also turned the colts from 3-13 to 13-3 in one year. He also had 26 TD, 26TD, and 33 TD in his first three years in a different era of football.
I'm not biased at all, just saying comparing him to the GOAT is premature.

I agree with you, FWIW. But Luck could be one of the best of all time if he keeps this upThis post was edited on 11/4/14 at 12:12 am

I was told that Wilson is better by a few on here.

He makes the cerebral part look effortless, at least compared to Manning who's losing his mind pre-snap (sometimes I wonder if his absurd attention to detail costs him in some bizarre way). With Luck it doesn't feel like he's even needing to grind hard upstairs
Would not be surprised if he becomes tGOAT. He does need to take a lot less hits, though it seems like every time he takes a big pop he's dropping bombs. Very glad he's in the AFC

The Colts were 2-14, drafted Luck, 11-5 as a rookie and made the playoffs. Manning went 3-13 as a rookie. And Luck won a playoff game in his 2nd year. Took Manning 6 years to win a playoff game. And that playoff win Luck had in his 2nd year was the 2nd largest postseason comeback victory in NFL History. Also had 11 4th quarter comeback wins in his first 2 seasons, which led all QBs in those 2 seasons and is an NFL record for a QB in their first 2 seasons.
And yes Manning threw 26 TDs in each of his first 2 seasons... Also had 28 and 15 INTs as well, much more than Luck. And Luck already has 26 TDs this year, in 9 games. On pace for like 46TDs. And also on pace to break Mannings single season yardage record this year too... In his 3rd year.

Wait, why is Russell Wilson not in this discussion for best QB in the NFL? I thought some people here thought he was in the same league as Luck, maybe even better?
