I think Griffin and Trent Richardson will be neck and neck all season as the best rookies.

But I think Andrew Luck will actually get the (somewhat undeserved) rookie of the year award when he leads the Colts to the playoffs in the NFL's weakest division.

What the hell are you smoking?

Help me with this statement, GTripp. Because I can't follow your logic whatsoever.

The road to the WildCard seems littered with insurmountable obstacles for the Colts. Either the Steelers or the Ravens will end up with one of them, they are both excellent teams returning basically intact. In the East the Pats should take the division, and in the West the Broncos should take the division. That leaves the Chargers and Jets involved in the Wildcard chase. And the Bengals were 9-7 as well, last year, and you have to figure Dalton, AJ Green and Jermaine Gresham will continue to grow.

Then if you talk about inter-division play, the Colts sit well behind the Texans. And the Titans aren't half bad with Hasselbeck making that offense not-so-one dimensional.

You really think Luck is enough to bump the record from 2-14 to 9-7 or 10-6, all while losing Garcon, Saturday, and a number of other key parts?

I'd love to hear why.
