according to their overall passer ratings

Interesting.

If you went by hype, Luck would be ahead by a mile. I've always thought he was overrated, going back to Stanfraud.

    Stats aren't everything, but Luck is definitely overrated as an NFL QB.

    Luck's hype died when he Brownsocked the 2015 season

    Luck is a pretty good QB that everyone acts like is a great QB. If you wouldn't take Russell Wilson over him you're Hugh Millen FS.

    He's mediocre now.

    AT BEST.

    I'd say his 2015 was mediocre at best but I'm not sure I'd downgrade him to that level just based off that one year. If he repeats it, definitely. But yeah, the gap between perception and reality with Luck is Jack Lockner sized.

    There was a thread here about that and it needs to get bumped.

    The only thing I will give Luck a lot of credit for is his rookie year when he took a kind of shitty Colts team to the playoffs. They were promptly destroyed, but still.

    Tannehill is a POS ... you don't need stats to tell you that

    Luck's a pretty damn good QB ... he had a bad year last year for a number of different reasons ...

    Unlike Wilson, he's been on a team where they've had to outscore the opposition and as a result he's probably felt like he's had to take chances that Wilson doesn't. While both have shitty OL's, the Hawks had Marshawn Lynch whereas the Colts really have never had a running game. Add to it the fact that Wilson's far more mobile and therefore hasn't had to take anywhere close to the hits that Luck has and you probably start going a long way towards explaining the difference between the two.

    If you set a Yes/No bet right now on whether or not Luck would eventually be a Super Bowl winning QB, he's got way too much talent at this point to think that the Yes bet wouldn't be a favorite.
