When it comes to Luck, I simply have not followed him all that much. When I have seen him play, my general impression has been "What's all the hub bub, bub?" From what I have seen, he has been a solid QB. I have not seen the "Wow" plays from him with the consistency that I have seen them from the elite QB's. Also, while he is constantly extolled for his ability to lead his team to wins in the 4th Q, I rarely see him excoriated for putting his team in that position in the first place through the various untimely INT's I have seen him toss.

For me, the bottom line is that he is decent QB and solid starter, but not in the same league as the Rodgers, Brady conversation or ever the Brees, Manning of yesteryear conversation. Just not sure I have seen much growth from year one to now. I'd take him over most QB's but certainly not Rodgers or Brady.

Apparently, he is slumping hard this season. Is it a sign of things to come or just a slump? Check back in five years. If he does, he won't be the first QB to flame out and he won't be the last.

If the Colts offered us Luck for next year's first rounder tomorrow, how many (besides SFR) would bite on that trade? Me - probably, but not sure.
