Andrew Luck excuse thread 2016

[4merper4mer]

SDS ran out of storage for last year's excuses, so please put 2016's here.

So far Kim Jung QB is 0-2. There were 5 defensive or special teams touchdowns in the entire league yesterday. 40% of them were gifts from the impervious one.

No running game

No defense

Bad coaching

 

Played best D in the league. Last week, Luck looked great but his defense gave up a million to the freaking lions who turned around and scored 15 vs the Titans and lost.

Good QBs don't need excuses, smart people that watch them know what is wrong.

Where was this thread after last week's game?

[jr1]

he hurt himself in the TD Ameritrade commercial

[MAJBobby]

The shine has worn off for me the last two years on Luck.

 

Not the automatic first ballot HOF that people were annointing him after his rookie year.

Where was this thread after last week's game loss to the friggin Lions?

ANDREW LUCK BORTLES WINSTON TANNEHILL IS A QB ON THE RISE

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Reminds me of the great David Carr. Here were the excuses every year:

 

1) all he needs is a great no. 2 WR.

2) just give him a great TE.

3) better slot guy

4) better RB

5) better line

6) better defense

You're just trolling now.

[4BillsintheBurgh]

He needs a gm. He should have realized that before he signed for all the money.

You're just trolling now.

 

 

My point is this:

 

When Luck wins he is brilliant.

When he loses you must be trolling if you criticize him.

 

He's not a bad guy, he's just not the QB he is touted to be or anything close to it. Any QB, if given credit for wins and absolved for losses would be undefeated. That is basically the luxury Luck enjoys. It is a function of him being thought of as the next great marketing opportunity/QB. ESPN and Madison avenue hold on to their narratives for a long time.

 

If he had the storyline of a good prospect with things to learn it would have been easier on him because that was the reality. He instead had the storyline of the anointed one. The miracle of miracles. He isn't that. He is easily flustered as seen by him being rattled by the Rex D last year. Kirk Cousins shredded it. If Luck had that kind of game against us they would have built statues.

 

Everybody in every field should have to earn their stripes. If the stripes are given to you may never progress.

[SoFFacet]

He's a good player on a bad team. Wins and losses are a team outcome. Dumb thread is dumb.

[Wayne Arnold]

They're just waiting for Michigan to win the national championship so they can welcome back Jim Harbaugh to turn the franchise around.

This!

 

Luck won't find much success in Indy until the owner fires the current GM and HC. That same GM is the same idiot who traded Jerry Hughes to Buffalo because he was a failed Polian draft pick and he is too stupid to build a proper line, run game and hire a top DC. Luck looked like the next Manning until Arians left for Arizona.

Exactly - just get a better everything and he'll be amazing.

Maybe they can try firing the OC

Maybe they can try firing the OC

In this case one would fire the DC
