Maybe Luck really is done.

Luck is the one fantasy football pick I did right this year.  My other QB was Carr ?.

Oh the hairs that will be split in defense of Kim Jung QB.

 

This from the guy who says that because Luck is not the next Wayne Gretzky,

 

[sorry, I just keep laughing that that's the premise of whatever comes next to justify how "right" you are].

 

Please keep posting. It's really good stuff.

At least it wasn't David Carr.

HA!  He was my backup too!

 

Sure glad I didn’t waste a pick a couple rounds earlier on that Mahomes guy.

THREE AND OUT: Quick takes on big developments across the league

1) Andrew Luck's evolution under Frank Reich. It's hard to justify including a .500 quarterback in the MVP discussion, but Andrew Luck deserves "honorable mention" status based on his exceptional play this season. After missing the entire 2017 campaign with a shoulder issue, the three-time Pro Bowler has posted fine numbers in 2018: 67.3 percent completion rate, 29:9 touchdown-to-interception ratio, 101.8 passer rating. Luck's projected final numbers (4,430 pass yards, 46:14 TD-to-INT ratio, along with the aforementioned completion rate and passer rating) show he's on a pace quite similar to the average of the last 10 quarterbacks to win the MVP award (67.0 percent completion rate, 4,507 pass yards, 39:9 TD-to-INT ratio, 109.2 passer rating).

 

That's an insane amount of production coming from a quarterback returning to the lineup following a career-threatening injury to his throwing arm, but it is even more remarkable when you consider Luck's circumstances. He returned to a Colts team that featured one blue-chip player (T.Y. Hilton) and a handful of "possibles" (Eric Ebron, Jack Doyle, Erik Swoope and Mo Alie-Cox) on the perimeter. Not to mention, he's playing behind a rebuilt offensive line with a couple of rookies (Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith) acclimating to the pro game.

 

Considering Luck is also stepping into a new offensive system crafted by a first-time head coach, No. 12's success demands great appreciation, especially with Indianapolis (5-5) surprisingly right in playoff contention.

 

While most of the credit for Luck's performance should go directly to the quarterback for his diligent work on and off the field, the arrival of Reich (and his quarterback-friendly system) has certainly helped Luck become a more effective and efficient player from the pocket.

 

Instead of Indy's old "bombs away" system that encouraged Luck to hold onto the ball while waiting on deep routes to uncover from traditional and spread formations, the Colts are using a quick-rhythm scheme that features a number of short and intermediate routes from spread formations, as well as two- and three-man vertical routes from run-heavy sets following hard play-action fakes.

Come on now! He's done!

I've watched a couple Colts games this year and parts of many others on the Sunday Ticket.  And here's my assessment: when the experts said he was the once in a decade QB prospect coming out of college, they were right. Despite the beating he took in that Colts offense the last couple years he played, he still shows remarkable accuracy and field awareness. Maybe Mahomes will be next, maybe Goff. I don't know. But Luck is still really, really good ...

Looks like someone failed EJ 101.

 

Well done. That was my favorite EJ excuse for years. 

[Bfanlc]

Gase lost this game for the Dolphins. He has no idea on how to wins games and has screwed up the rb situation. Drake has all 4 of the dolphins running tds this year, constantly makes plays and he isnt getting the majority of the handoffs??

[26CornerBlitz]

Absolutely, positively DONE!

I saw in another thread where stuvian had a hot take about BBMB being the "golden age of message board posting".?

 

Which, come to think of it,  is consistent with the fact that he thought starting this thread was a good idea.

 

This thread is the quality of hot take you could find on that illegible, seizure-inducing BBMB shite show.

 

That place is mercifully done........Luck is not.

Fillm Study: Andrew Luck Better Than Ever

 

 

For much of the past year, many wondered if we’d already seen the best of Andrew Luck.

 

Even three weeks into this season, some questioned the health of Luck’s surgically repaired right shoulder, citing a wealth of dink-and-dunk throws (5.3 yards per attempt in Weeks 1-3 despite a 68.6 percent completion rate) and Jacoby Brissett’s cameo on a Hail Mary against the Eagles.

 

Two months later, Luck might be better than ever.

 

He posted his eighth straight game with three-plus passing touchdowns — the second-longest streak ever, behind only Tom Brady’s 10-game run in 2007 — on Sunday against the Dolphins, earning the Colts their fifth straight win with a rally reminiscent of Indy’s 2012 and 2013 teams.
