I always find it interesting how mediocre the running backs from that draft class became. Knowshon is very mediocre and i believe he was the 12th pick, donald brown was taken before beanie and is basically useless, and Beanie is the most productive one taken 31st overall. Running backs in the first round now a days are usually so post to be very special.

I didnt see his TD
It was a simple WR bubble screen.

Still can't believe Luck is playing after his 2 td's. He looks 10000x better than Kolb/Skelton so far -- it's not even close.

Damn, I wish we had a QB:

Luck: 10/15 188 yards, 2 TD's, 1 rush for 9 yards.

That's better than all 4 of our QB's combined. LOL

No one should be surprised.

I'm not necessarily surprised, but more-so very impressed by how he makes it look so easy. Sometimes the "speed of the game" takes a while to get used to, but Luck made it seem like he's been a pro for years. He will easily break the rookie record for QB efficiency -- book it.

Looks to me like the Colts have tailored their offense to suit Lucks skill set. As opposed to paying a King's ransom for a guy and trying to cram him into an unfamiliar offense that likely doesn't suit his skill set.

Cramming a gun shy, fragile QB into an unfamiliar offense probably works equally poorly as an offense tailored for one. Unfortunately.

So let's hire Kevin Sumlin or Mike Leach tomorrow ;)

He had more touch on his passes and was better in the pocket, as a college QB, than virtually anyone in the NFL. The guy will not be a bust. He is going to be one of the best in the league for a long time.

Also one thing that has not been mentioned....I don't think he was even touched while playing today. I have never doubted the guy will be one of the best in the league though.

Already the best QB in that division. Will be top 2-3 by 2014. Never been as sure about a guy.

So are there any in next years draft who compares favorably to Luck? We gotta get a QB in here............and an o-line...........imagine Fitz with an NFL caliber QB & O-line......

Gruden had some amusing Andrew Luck plays on his QB camp:





I'm sure he'll be more careful against Pro talent, but that tells you where his mindset is at. :D

If we're lucky, we can pick this guy up when he's 35-36 and make another SB run!!
