Well you should “‘re-look up” those stats!!! Lol In case you missed it, there was a young man last season that without OTA’s shredded all of the all time rookie stats! His name is CAMERON NEWTON!!!! P. Manning is no longer the name synonymous with with setting the bar for Rookie achievement. I’m just sayin…..

Quit comparing Andrew Luck to Rick Mirer please!!!!!!!!!
________

I hate to arrogantly showcase my reading comprehension skills, but no one compared Andrew Luck to Rick Mirer. Someone merely used Mirer as an example of why it takes a couple years to truly grade NFL quarterbacks, and how a QB’s first showing, especially a preseason showing, does not make or break his career. A similar example that, for whatever reason, is not discussed very often is Mark Sanchez’ 2009 campaign.

Up through about week 6 of the 2009 season, everyone was talking about Sanchez was the next great NFL quarterback, and the Detroit front office was moronic for taking Matt Stafford. The hype around Sanchez continued as he brought the Jets to the AFC title game, but since then the words hype and Sanchez have not been seen within a paragraph of each other.

In summary, read things more carefully, and reserve judgment on rookie quarterbacks until a couple years from now.

Luck might be very good at one or two things, but if a defense focuses on that, can he adjust? Rick Mirer went through an entire rookie year doing well – until teams fiqured out he couldn’t throw to his left – at all.

Nobody is crowning Luck off of one preseason game against the Rams. The fact is the kid was so impressive at Stanford that the whole “Suck for Luck” thing got started before he entered his final college season. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: best prospect since John Elway.

Anyone who watched him play today simply saw a confirmation of what they expected Luck to be. Extraordinarily smart player. Super accurate passer. Very good arm and very good athleticism from the QB position.

I would not be shocked if the kid is a top-10 NFL QB or better from Day 1.

Indy fans are by far the most spoiled in the league, especially when you do the football interest/success ratio (oh condolences on that crappy 2011 btw).

It may be 13 years from now, but there is a whopping curse headed your way if there is any justice in the football universe.

Maybe you have the next Payton Manning, or maybe you have the next Rick Mirer….?

Mirer was awsome his first game, his first yeat, and then …

Way too early is my point.

Fine, they KNOW.

Just like I, Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, Warren Moon, Mike Shanahan and everyone else with football knowledge KNOWS that Robert Griffin is the better QB brother.
=============================

Wow, it’s a shock you and your football “knowledge” haven’t been hired as the Colts’ GM after they chose such a clearly inferior QB.

Where are all the Redskins fans who thought Luck wasn’t anywhere near as good as RGIII?
———————————-
Actually, what this Redskins fan said last April was that someone in St. Louis was going to lose his job in a year or so because both Bob and Andy were going to be better than Sam Bradford, and the Rams made no effort to upgrade to either Bob or Andy. (Sounds like Toy Story 4.)

You heard it here first.

What you failed to realize is the the Redskins and Redskins fans would have been happy with either Luck or Griffin which is why they moved up to the 2nd spot in the draft….win\win situation! It’s the Colts fans who were anti Griffin and down playing Griffin’s abilities.

What i find most sad is how Irsay tweeting like a high school girl just seconds after Luck threw his 1st TD.

The media want to make RG3 the second coming by week 8 they will be singing a different tune in DC you just wait.

Luck is the real deal and I am no Colts fan.

Either way, both of these quarterbacks should be great, and there’s no reason that Luck and Griffin should have anything but a friendly rivalry. Magic and Bird still consider each other extremely close friends. Indy fans and Boston fans never got at each other’s throats over the Manning/Brady rivalry the same way that peytonsneck and hulkhogan have single-handedly turned Indianapolis and Washington against each other before either quarterback has even taken a regular season snap.

The point is that the Colts and Redskins have no historic rivalry, and are more similar than different right now: two bad teams putting the future of their franchises on the shoulders of two of the best quarterback prospects we have seen in a long time, hoping to return to their glory days. There’s no reason to try to drum up some kind of bitter Indianapolis/DC feud out of nothing. When bad teams get better, the whole NFL improves, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to hope for the success of both Luck and Griffin.

In summary let’s all take a step back, let the DMV enjoy Robert Griffin, let the Midwest enjoy Andrew Luck and let peytonsneck and hulkhogan realize that they’re wasting their lives on trivial idiocy.

Just like I, Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, Warren Moon, Mike Shanahan and everyone else with football knowledge KNOWS that Robert Griffin is the better QB brother.
