That being said, look at the way Arians handled Ben Roethlisberger while in Pittsburgh. He didn’t care about the hits that Ben took. As a Steelers fan, I believe that had the Steelers not parted ways with Arians the career of Ben Roethlisberger would have lasted another 2 years before he was hit too many times.

I just hope for the sake of the Colts that the owner starts telling Arians a lot sooner than the Steelers did that their QB was taking WAY too many hits and they need to do something to cut those down.

Go ahead and ruin your career if you want.

He emphasized that the Colts almost never call run plays for Luck. Unless the game is on the line, or a standard QB sneak on goal line situations. Luck has surprised many by his ability to shake tackles (see GB Game shaking off Clay Matthews), scramble (5 rush TDs), and turn a bootleg into ground yards when needed… but the Colts don’t push Luck into Running situations.

Vick, RG3, Newton seem to use the running option more as a standard part of their offense. The Colts offense (O-Line approach too) is that Luck is 1st and foremost a pocket passer with the ability to scramble.

Exposing QBs (franchise QBs no less) to defenses on a regular basis is playing with fire. While QBs are always a target, Pocket Passers vs. Running QBs come with different risks. The Luck vs RG3 debate needs to include these risks. Scary to realize that every time a QB leaves the pocket could be the last time they do so that season. Defenses are bigger and faster than ever before, teams need to think twice about throwing their QB to the wolves.
