He was never the QB he "once was" because Kim Jung QB is the bestest there ever was. He never made a mistake.

Was he touted only as a comparison to players selected with him or after him? Or was he touted compared with previous great prospects?

I didn't criticize him for looking rusty in preseason. I merely gave a tip of the cap for a half a season's worth of excusing in advance. And I think Luck is a good dude. I don't have any problem with him. I just find the 1984 type treatment he gets very odd.

What do music and the Utah Jazz have in common? The post Malone era sucks for both.

That's what I'm saying. Those movies were crap so why not just use the hotter twin?

I guess. She was in a movie with Keanu Reeves back then and her twin sister was in it too. I know they are twins, but the other one was hotter, albeit a terrible actress.

I agree with his premise that most people are actually good people. But it is naive to assume that people can't become bad, either by being taught directly or just being surrounded by it. They put themselves in a position where the numbers games was more likely to work against them, and it did. Being surrounded by naïveté and assuming everyone is kind, was something they learned, either directly or because they were surrounded by it. Bad combo. Reality is reality whether we want it to be or not.

Agreed but I can't fault him for those three. It seems clear that was Rex's dream trio.

That's the spirit. He gets half a season to have excused suckiness and still be the greatest draft prospect of all time. And this after a full year of European treatments.

The last line above. Invert the last word. What just happened to the broad who accused Weinstein? Oldest trick in the book.

He said "Love Me Do" was actually written by Ringo who had an obsession with poop. It's real name was "Love Me Doo". Gross but we all knew Ringo was weird.

Some moron coach made them pick Lawson, Ragland and Washington. Rob forgot the dude's name.

He "dominated" the worst division in the history of football.

I don't know that I would call him bad. He was simply supposed to be the greatest player drafted in 50 years. He has not been anything approaching that but the narrative cannot be changed. Kim Jung QB must not be criticized.

While we realize you have no use for Newton, Bridgewater, Mahomes, Jackson, Taylor, Watson, Wilson, and Winston because they aren't as good as Connor Cook, Blaine Gabbert or Blake Bortles, this thread is about excuses for Andrew Luck. Please feel free to start a thread about why you hate Cam.

It seems to be a good time to start this with the Colts preseason game being featured on MNF. He was hurt last year and got European treatment which took a while so there was really only one 2017 excuse and no need for a thread. The 2016 thread was a doozy with everything but the Loch Ness monster being blamed. All arrows seem seem to be pointing up for 2018 but I'm sure there will be some reasons for the turnovers and 4th and 1 incompletions to wide open guys. I think the leading candidate is that the Titans, Jags, and Texans are all much stronger than the last time he saw them. Then again, Brisset swept the Texans.

You have to be kidding. Most of those guys were gone BEFORE last year. Darby, Gilmore, Goodwin, Watkins, were not here in 2017. Glenn barely played. We were a well coached winning team with a plan. Your argument is reduced to Wood, Incognito and Shareece friggin Wright. So tell me, when we signed Wright last year were you doing cartwheels or whining? Where was the salary cap money with which we were supposed to sign Jerry Rice and Anthony Munoz? This team is headed in the right direction. Don't be too upset when that becomes obvious. I hated the Dammy trade. Look back if you must. Turns out I was wrong.

Sammy wasn't on the team for one game last year.

Who is giving him undo love? Someone said he has a million holes in his game. I'm aware of one.....and its a big one. What are the others?

Why all the hate for Nate? You are very consistent wit it. His arm isn't strong enough and that is a big hole. What are the others?

True but it makes you wonder if this Danny Elfman guy they just drafted might be good too.

What was our record last year? What talented expensive players did we shed?

I'll trust the coaches on which QB starts but losing Incognito and Wood, while not ideal, does not turn a playoff team into a rebuilding team. The Bills are going to be a good team this year.

We made the playoffs last year. What is missing from 2017 that makes 2018 a rebuilding year? Please be specific and please don't say Preston Brown.

Figuring out if Ben's brain is back to functioning "normally" has got to be quite the task for the doctors involved.
