See I just take issue with the idea that Luck has proved he is head and shoulders above the rest of these guys... because he hasn't. His stats aren't significantly better (he's thrown way more interceptions), he has had plenty of really bad games. He's had a great impact on his team, but I've seen them beat us- they have talent and it's not all him. They also had the Coach and Exec of the year last year, and people still claim Andrew Luck is 100% the reason they improved.
I think it's totally based on perception and draft status. He hasn't shown himself to be a tier apart in any way shape or form from these other great young QBs.
Luck IMO is head and shoulders above the rest. Dude just has EVERYTHING to be the next elite QB. He has the height, the arm, the accuracy, the smarts and mindset to be it. I'm not saying that they other guys don't have the talent but in my opinion they don't have all the tools. Each one is missing something. Wilson and RG3 the height for example. Luck has proven it in college and he so far has proven it to me in the NFL. Dude is straight up balling with a garbage oline, one good WR, and stone hands for another. This year, he is constantly placed into these situations where he has to comeback by his coordinator because Pep likes to do 3 straight runs and then punt the ball and before you know it, we are down 14+ points. He keeps most of the time bailing them out on his own. I don't want him throwing 50 times a game but this coming back from behind has got to stop. They are trying to be a power run team when they have the worst (IMO) interior OLine in the NFL. That's like trying to run a spread offense with Chad Pennington. As stated earlier, you give Luck, Wilson's team, that's a 13-14 win team right there and that's a SCARY team.
Now as far as 2012 goes, every one of those wins were because of Luck. They walked into that season having no idea what was going to happen, how this kid was going to perform, and he met every expectation. No one, expected that team to win more than 5 games. I said 7 and that is because they are my team. Haha. He came in, and worked with these guys and got the team on track. They had to deal with knowing the defense couldn't bail them out and like I said earlier, it was all on Luck. I just find it amazing they allowed 300 yards rushing against KC last year and somehow still won.
I'm not saying that RG3 and Wilson are garbage, matter of fact I think Wilson is the second ranked young QB. I think hes a better QB than RG3. He can run around when needed, he has the arm and what I like about Wilson is that hes a team guy. If he ***** up he says it was my bad and that loss was on me. RG3 to me and I may be wrong, hes a selfish player. He says we a lot. I don't hear him say I when the Skins lose. Like I said I can be wrong about that but that's the impression I get.
Now after all my rambling done, lets just sit back and enjoy the next 10-15 years of top notch quarterbacking in the NFL.
And as a side note, I swear to God and on my life, that I am not Coltfanb.
To bad it has nothing to do with what i was responding too
