Around The NFL...Week 16 Style

[KLHJ2]

I don't get all of the hype that Luck is getting. Sure he was the #1 pick and is leading his team to the playoffs, but he has 18 INT's to go with his 20 TD's. I understand that he is leading his team to the playoffs, but they are only 1 season removed from a deep playoff run. I think that the Colts were a better football team than the talking heads were giving them credit for. Curtis Painter was just really bad.

I am not sure if this stat still stands but last week the only quarterback that had more turnovers than Andrew Luck (fumbles and picks) was Mark Sanchez.

Still stands. Sanchez 29, Luck 28 total turnovers.

Also, Luck has lost 5 fumbles, so you can't go on 9 fumbles as turnovers. He actually has 23 turnovers, not 28.

Cam wasn't competing against 2 other qb's with better passer ratings, completion percentages, TD/INT ratio, and rushing yard statistics either.

In the end, I think they look at the record he broke and the fact he's taken a 2 win team and turned it into a 10 (potentially 11) win team. If you went with a all around better QB, it would go to RGIII, but I seriously doubt that's what the voters will be thinking. They'll be thinking that 2 win to 10 win team and the record breaking.

Looks like Tebow rode into practice this week blaring "Take this job and shove it" on the radio.

Let's not forget the 4183 yards passing with a game to go.
