    Why he has taken it upon himself to harrass the forum is beyond me. No one here had anything to do with Manning not being a Colt anymore.
    I don't harrass the forum, I just point out management mistakes, in my opinion and some of you decide to take that into name calling. That isn't my fault...

      I have never once admitted to being any kind of troll and I have denied it many times.... So, that statement is just not true and you should retract it.....

        I think you should all be appreciative and amazed by this guy so far; how high of expectations he had coming into this year and how he is meeting every one of them.

          Find me a single player on a new team who has had a greater impact on that team than Luck. You can't do it. Not even with that guy out in Denver.

              Which is, needless to say --- ridiculous. He just shredded a very good defense without much help.

                So are you guys starting to believe now? I was sort of lambasted 4-5 months ago for some of my "wild" claims about him but like I said then and now, he's beyond special.

                  He looked very good, and this game was DEFINITELY a special one for him. But I wouldn't say he didn't have help. The WR's ran good routes and were beating those DB's regularly (not to mention TYs ridiculous catch over two defenders lol)

                  My biggest issue with him earlier in the season was his completion percentage and his tendency to turn it over a bit. Outside of his fumble today, he's seemed to calm some of those issues. Watching him play, he may never be a super high percentage passer simply bc he likes to go down the field (ala Big Ben)

                  The game seems to be slowing for Luck right now. And as it does he's starting to show why he was such a hot prospect coming out of college. Hopefully he can keep up his high level of play

                      Cam did it in his first few games, and then dropped off and has never reached those #s again. See my sig.

                        What an amazing game. We have ourselves a future MVP here. His performance and the Pagano speech has convinced me the Colts will make the playoffs.

                          What Luck is doing this year is unfathomable for a rookie

                            Re: Luck so far

                            His feats today, with guys draped all over him and still making completions... amazing. His knack for making 3rd down completions was ridiculous. 13 of 19. And they were usually 3rd and LONG... he wasn't making namby-pamby plays, he was making man-passes. He's a rookie....

                              I'm glad Jim Harbaugh is the guy who got to Luck first. Don't think that gets talked about enough

                                I didn't get to see most of the game, so I looked at the play by play and boxscore. He converted on 3rd and 14, 3rd and 16, and 3rd and 20.


                                I still vividly remember the 3rd and 12 he converted on the game-winning drive against the Packers with Clay Matthews preparing to "send him off on a stretcher."


                                Sometimes I have to pinch myself to not only realize that we're fully experiencing life after Manning, but to believe that it could possibly be going this well.
