Luck is the Real Deal! Look out N.F.L.

For many years now we have seen number one overall draft picks not meet expectations. Maybe it was the pressure of being labeled the savior that will save the organization; however, this year is the second straight year the N.F.L. has found the right ingredients. With Cam Newton of the Carolina Panther and Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts, they will be able to carry on the great tradition that we have come to love. I am truly sold on these two players, but tonight I want to talk generally about Andrew Luck. Luck being the number one overall pick this year in the N.F.L. draft the pressure is on; not just being the top pick, but him replacing Colts legend Peyton Manning.

Manning put that organization on the map and made them relevant for the past 14 seasons. He is one of the greatest players of all-time. Luck will be in the shadow of Manning until he gets a championship. He will be compared to Manning until this happens. This isn’t fair for a young rookie that didn’t ask for this. He was put in this situation by an organization that is yearning for another championship. The players just have to just catch the ball because Luck can throw the ball. The Colts looked pitiful last season. They mailed in those games in my opinion to get Luck. Can you really blame them, but that is not what pros do but that is what the Colts do!

I think that Luck is a hell of a player. He will be just fine; wouldn’t be surprised if he will become an MVP caliber player for years to come. Winning a title is another question though. First he needs to just get acclimated in the N.F.L. and learn to play on the professional level. We have seen Cam Newton come out of nowhere and become a star quarterback in just his rookie season. The scary part about Luck is that he can even be better than Newton and many experts think so. I know it is too early to give this young man the crown, but watch out; Luck is coming! Tell me what you guys think about Luck and his potential?
