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 up

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.

Yea, he also had 28 INT's to go along with those 26 TD's his rookie year and a 3-13 record. The Colts went 11-5 Luck's first year.

But pump the breaks on comparing that straight up.

In an older era without the rule changes...Manning would probably be gone from the league when Luck entered and maybe Brady.

There were some joker QBs in the early 2000 time when Manning was entering...

I'd say Luck has had it much tougher to crack All-Pro teams with Manning, Brady, Brees, etc still in the league.
