Of course it takes more then a rookie season to predict or know what type a QB a rookie will become.(I believe it takes about 36 starts depending on schematic continuity)
But, again I'm not asking for a career prediction based on this season.
I'm asking for opinion on whether or not there is a benchmark level of production Luck(i.e. the greatest prospect since Peyton Manning/John Elway) needs to reach THIS season to justify the hype.
And if someone thinks there is a statistical benchmark what is it?
Maybe there is no rookie year benchmark for some people.
Maybe some think regardless of his rookie year production the hype is warranted?
Maybe some think production on par with Blaine Gabbert is good enough to warrant his hype or maybe some others think production on must be at least on par with Andy Dalton?
Its just something I'm curious about that I didn't think warrants its own thread, so I figured it fit here.*shrugs*

I think Griffin has the better first season stats,

Cool, what do you think the ballpark will be? Close or wide margin?

Compare that to the Colts who have new everything and will take a year to get the whole offensive scheme and direction, plus having many new players, and losing lots of key veterans.

When I look at the success of Dalton and Newton in their new schemes without the benefit of an offseason, I have a hard time considering everything being new a stumbling block.
I think the Colts have replaced almost as many pieces as they've lost and still have enough pieces to field a quality offense.
