Luck is better than Kap in any scheme. I think people are too caught up with comparing stats and don't realize Kap isn't asked to do nearly as much as Luck because he has a running game and a defense. He also has a better line and better receivers (Davis and Crabtree are both better than any of the Colts' receivers and Boldin is as good as Hilton or Wayne who are overrated because they get tons of targets in a passing offense where Luck has no one else to throw to). Kap has a slightly better arm and is a little faster (Luck is an underrated athlete), but Luck is the better quarterback - he's better at going through progressions, more accurate, makes better decisions, and appears to be clutch though it may be too early to say with that. Alex Smith was one of the top rated QB's in the league with the same offense and I don't think anyone would say he's better than Andrew Luck.
Statistically, Nick Foles was a better QB than Tom Brady last year.
It's a pointless thread now, but people underrating Luck because of his supporting cast is probably the most annoying thing to me in sports.
Found myself agreeing with most of this until you compared Newtons athleticism to Lucks. They are not even close.
My opinion, Kap is the QB I would rather have on my team.
Also, Kap is more clutch than Luck. There's no argument there.
You're too quick to knock the Colts secondary, it's a lot better than you think.
Any scheme? I don't know about that.
