    Re: Here's my plea

    Come on OlBlu, I like you so be a man and don't just ignore this:

    "Both Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III have been excellent this year, but only Griffin looks great when examining traditional metrics. The above analysis isn’t intended to denigrate Griffin; if anything, it should raise questions about why the coaches in Indianapolis are making things so difficult for Luck. He has being asked to throw more deep passes and has made fewer checkdowns than just about any quarterback in the league, despite an extremely inexperienced set of targets after Reggie Wayne. He has also being asked to throw the ball frequently — he ranks third in pass attempts per game, the cost of doing business when paired with a below-average defense and an anemic running game. As a result, his completion percentage and yards per attempt averages are underwhelming, but it’s tough to say how well Griffin would do if the players switched teams. Griffin may have the highlight reel runs and the showy statistics, but Luck has arguably been even more impressive under considerably more challenging circumstances."

    From the NY Times, the "National Media" you love so much. We're not saying Luck has been outplaying RG3 or anything, we're just saying conventional metrics aren't giving you the full picture.

      Then the coaching staff needs to be replaced at the end of the season......

        It's honorable that you are willing to go down with your ship captain blu.

          Blu is full of more excuses than anyone i've ever seen.
          There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

            I was only kidding. I just thought that blaming Luck's bad stats on the coaching staff was a stretch but he leads the NFL in excuse makers....

              There's nothing to make "excuses" about. He is right where he should be as a rookie quarterback with virtually no running game. The team is 3-3 and he led game winning drives against Minnesota and Green Bay. He would have led one against Jacksonville if the D didn't blow the lead. We got smoked on the road in Chicago and New York, as we should have. I think things are progressing about as good as anyone could have imagined.
