Both Luck and RG3 are our next generation after Peyton Manning and tom Brady. They’re both gonna be great for their franchise and I could see both winning a superbowl in the future.

lets give both RGIII and Luck credit here. After one pre-season game, they both have as many play-off wins as Matt Ryan.

I’ll give him kudos. I’m happy for the kid. Besides, now that Peyton’s gone, The rivalry just isn’t there anymore. I hope the Colts can come back to being a contender. They seem like a standup club, and I’m a die hard Pats fan.

I’m not impressed. RGIII play less and threw bullets down the field against a better defense. Hey, you Colt fans have your little festival over Captain dumpoff though. RGIII will have the great career brother. Case closed.

So shall we also take away yards from Marino, Tom Brady, Peyton, Brees, or any other NFL QB? Just go and change how the NFL does the stats? C’mon people, it says pass is a 63 yard touchdown not a 63 pass is a touchdown.

he showed poise, accuracy, and arm strength on that pass. 💩

Not bad, not bad, his balls has a good spin on it and he’s very accurate. The only negative thing I have against him is when he hands the ball off, he spins around. He’ll improve and you colts fans have a QB locked up for the next 10+ years.

The defense is not on watch, it’s the offense. Schotty & Sam are going into this season with A LOT to prove. The first half was not a good case to quiet their critics.

Look, the kid is obviously gonna be good and I wish the best for him, but let’s be honest here, most 2 year-olds coulda thrown that screen pass.

It’s the two other drives he lead for scores that are more impressive.

Well he drove it on first team defense his third drive i believe. And scored. And then just drove it on the 2nd team defense. To bad rg3 couldnt do anything untill second team defense came on field. Which was also a over glorified screen pass. Ill take Luck this week.

It didn’t even make it past the line of scrimmage… any reader on this board could have made that throw… what a joke…

And then he made a bunch of other good throws and led two more touchdown drives. Where are all of the people who said he couldn’t hold a candle to RGIII?

Yeah, so? Matt Ryan’s first REAL NFL pass was a 63 yd TD. If he does it in a game that counts, then I’ll be impressed.

As a Lions fan, I remember that pass well. I also remember our team didn’t win a game all year. How impressive of Matty Ice!

Paulitik74. Check your facts. Ryan first touch down was 11 yards to Jenkins .. Then Jenkins did the rest for a 62 yard touchdown…

Yes, it was a screen pass, much like RG3′s TD pass in his debut game. I think the “omen factor” — if you’re into that sort of thing — is what made this play interesting.

The impressive part for Luck came after this first TD pass. Ball after ball pushed downfield with zip and accuracy and preceded by heady decision-making. Different body types and different jersey numbers, but Luck plays the game very much like his predecessor in Indy.

If you don’t watch much college football or haven’t seen Luck play often, let me say this: the kid is the real deal. This isn’t just some media hype job. He truly is the best QB prospect to enter the league since John Elway.

It is pretty amazing that both Manning’s and Luck’s 1st professional passes were TD’s.

Andrew luck is insanely good! They will forget Payton Manning all to fast! He has been pin point accurate through his first several drives!
They will be better on offense than people think, due to the play of Luck alone!
He is fun to watch throw such a perfect ball

Well…that glorified 2 yard pass was probably one of the least impressive thing Luck did today….

Rg3 td pass was a screen pass turned td by the runner, so give the play call credit and theowner rb and Luck will have a good year, not here to say ROY but good Luck to him and RG3

I would have given the headline to the halfback for eluding tacklers for a 63 yd TD.

So what you’re saying is we can look forward to Luck devolving into an over-hyped noodle arm with happy feet who can’t win a playoff game?
