Thought about this while listening to the radio this morning.
Mike and Mike were bragging about how Flacco had beat "Luck, Manning, and Brady" and how that was such an accomplishment because of how good those three are. So it got me thinking about just how good Luck really was.
Luck has gotten a ton of hype and high media praise. He's part of the ROY conversation. I can even link to you an article that listed him as a pro-bowl snub (a major network article).
But are you sold on him and did he really do enough to cement that he'll be great, as many have already decided in their minds? My perception was that he had a really good year. Then I look at the numbers and see a 76 rating, 23 TD's and 18 INTs, and a 54% completion rate. He was sacked 41 times and fumbled 10 times.
Cam Newton had a better rookie season. Russell Wilson far outplayed him as a total player this year IMO.
I'm starting to think this guy isn't necessarily the lock to be amazing that people think he is. He could be though like any QB could be.
