Andrew Luck will be eligible for the HOF in 2024

[Gregg]

NFL Rookie Watch on Twitter: "Andrew Luck will officially be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2024. Luck’s stats over his first six seasons in the NFL were mind BOGGLING. Luck had 171 passing TD’s (3rd all-time), trailing only Dan Marino and Patrick Mahomes. 23,671 passing yards (4th all-time), trailing… https://t.co/sl2KzHmkZz" / Twitter

 

 

He was really good when he played. But he didn't play long enough to get in despite those impressive stats. IMHO.  if I remember correctly injuries forced him into an early retirement. He took a lot of hits playing behind a bad Colts OL.

Ya he'll be an interesting player. No doubt he had HOF talent but the lack of years will hurt him

[GoBills808]

this is the Allen comp, not Cam

[HOUSE]

Oh sure Steve Tasker doesn't belong yet you would even consider this guy ?

 

This is a sad sad day....

When Ray Guy got in the HOF, I thought that would open the door for ST players. Tasker should get in IMHO.

Andrew Luck should win something for his Civil War twitter act as Capt Luck or whatever he was. That was some funny stuff.

He can go into the "Hall of Fame of Players Who Had a Great First 6 Years in the League"

Terrell davis got in with the same number of years.  But I don't think there is any chance Luck gets in.  Not even if he gets lucky....the way he walked away I think is preceived a certain way even if it is unfair.

 

Comparing his number to Allen....Luck completed 60.8% of his passes which would be considered bad today. His won/loss record was just above 500.   I dont see mind boggling.....yes high for first few seasons but when you consider the changes in the game its not as impressive.  Allen beats him in TD%, INT%, rushing...they are tied in Y/A.  Both are 4-4 in playoffs but Lucks postseason stats blow, he threw more INT's than TD's.

 

Comparing him to Allen has no bearing on HOF but he is not HOF worthy at all.  If he put up 15 seasons, maybe.

The only short career player I’ve ever approved of being in the hall was Terrell Davis.  He was dominant and won a ring.  
 

Luck would be a lock if he played a few more years and won a ring, but not with his body of work as is.

Wow, what are the odds of posting the same argument at the exact same time

Great minds……………………..rarely appear in this joint!   😋

I like to visit the HOF it's a fun vacation spot.   That said, the selection committee is bogus.   Calvin Johnson was a 1st ballot and Terrell Owens was not, despite having 4,000 more yards and 60 more career touchdowns.   Andrew Luck belongs nowhere near the hall of fame. 

[GETTOTHE50]

Luck has no business being in the hall of fame. ***** him. but i do appreciate it how he screwed over the colts by retiring early.

[NewEra]

I vote no

[BuffaloBillyG]

Nope. Great skills. Put up solid numbers when he played. 

 

My personal criteria for HoF is: can you tell the story of the era of football they played without mentioning their name? If the answer is yes, then they don't belong. Luck was good, but never really moved the needle of the era IMO.

[Dopey]

Nope. Liked watching him play, but he hasn’t done enough. He’s not even in the Colts ring of honor yet. 

[HurlyBurly51]

Might as well just leave the barn door open if they let him in.

[Logic]

A career 89.5 passer rating, 0 All-Pro selections, 0 championships.

He ain't gettin in.

When I watched OJ, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, or Payton Manning play, I knew I was privileged to observe a HOF talent do their work.

 

I never felt that way about Luck, though I admit the stats are impressive.

I vote no.

It’s becoming the “hall of above average players” so, why not.

May be a good history piece on how Tanking doesn’t work in the NFL.
