The difference between Luck and Rodgers right now is that Rodgers doesn't throw into coverage as much as Luck. Both are good runners, both have awesome arm strength and accuracy but Rodgers takes the check downs and throws the ball away when he needs to. Luck is still in that phase that a lot of young QBs are in where he waits for the big play and makes throws into tight coverage and takes sacks.

That being said, I think Luck's ceiling is higher. Between the two, Luck makes more "holy shite how did he get that ball in there" throws. If he tones down the mistakes, Luck can be the best ever. He makes throws that I've literally never seen another QB make at times. The dart that he threw across his body 40 yards to the other side of the field against Pittsburgh might have been the best throw I've ever seen.

A few things Rodgers is lethal but he's a true vet. Luck hasn't even finished his third season yet.

And for those saying Luck throws a ton blah blah well Rodgers went through a similar stage when GB had no run game before Lacy came aboard

I do agree Luck takes more chances which is why his TOs are much higher, but he doesn't get a ton of help either. I'd say close to half of his picks have come off tipped passes. His WRs/TEs also drop a ton of passes. Nelson and Cobb are elite at what they do

Hilton/Moncrief should be a lethal duo going forward though
