Surprised to hear some would take CK over Luck. Andrew Luck is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer when all is said and done. Ultimately, accuracy is essential for a top tier QB. Luck has that going for him already. Not sure CK will ever get there. Great athlete, big arm, but accuracy is where I think CK is going to struggle to reach the top tier.
I think you're letting a draft crush blind you, look at Luck in the play-offs.
4 Interceptions against the Patriots trying to force something to happen, yet people beat up Kap for 3 turn-overs against one of the best defenses to ever play in a far more hostile environment when he was having to do the same.
Not to forget the escape against KC where KC melted down but Luck still threw 3 interceptions against a defense that had disintegrated, ignoring the fact that Charles went out on KC's opening drive injured.
I think Luck is a great player, and he will be a great, but you have to have some serious blinkers on to overlook things like the above whilst pillorying our own QB who took us further against better competition. The Seahawks crushed Denver, and Denver were good enough to beat the both of the teams above.
I can't understand people giving Luck a pass for worse performances against weaker opposition while beating Kap up for strong performances against better teams and in a more hostile environment.
