Earlier today it was announced that the Colts will draft Andrew Luck from Stanford for the first pick of the NFL draft. ESPN had said the Colts have had a decision for a few weeks now but today, Indianapolis notified Andrew Luck of the decision. With the Redskins most likely taking Robert Griffen III, the Vikings are now on the clock. http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7831853/2012-nfl-draft-indianapolis-colts-tell-andrew-luck-no-1-pick-source-says
I think this is a good decision by the Colts to draft Andrew Luck. He may not have as much talent as RG3, but I feel like Luck is better at the talents him and RG3 have in common and also has a better QB mind. I feel like RG3 would be a good decision for the Colts, but not for a long term situation. I think RG3 is going to be like Donavan McNabb type QB, good in his first few seasons, but slowly loses his talents. I believe Luck will be a good long-term QB, like a Big Ben or even a Peyton Manning type QB.
Yeah I totally agree with ya here Matty boy. Luck is a good fit for the colts. Big, white, smart QB that can jump right in and get the colts back on track. RG III would not be a good fit because the colts offense doesn't have any QB run plays! When was the last time you saw Big Peytey Pie turn his head down and take off down the field?! I can't remember. Lol. The Colt's would have to completely change their offense and maybe even take a year or two to get used to. Therefore, the Colts are looking to get "LUCKY" with Big Andrew this season!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you gotta say. Big 'ol Luck is said to be a homerun. That's just what we need here. Peyton really set the standard high when he was here. I just hope Andrew can fill those shoes. RG3 gonna have some good years like ya said, but he won't be a homerun. At most he'd be a triple, but double sounds more like it. I hope that Andrew brings his LUCK this year to the team.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you have to say. Luck seems to be a lot like Peyton and everybody loves his style of play. RG3 is a great college quarter back but I'm not sure how he will play in the NFL. But the best of the best have been players like Peyton which Andrew is like so I'm hoping for a great career out of him with the Colts.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a good pick by the colts. RG3 is more of a running QB and the colts are more of an Andrew Luck style of offense, which is not much running and more throwng. Luck can still run if need be and thats just like a bonus for the colts. I'm sure he will do great.
