[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 407507, member: 1429"] Agreed. Regarding Luck, as I've stated before, it would shock me if he didn't turn out into a very, very good QB in the NFL. But I'm not so sure about "surefire elite" QB. And it's not just from the games I've seen. Watching what Harbaugh did to Alex Smith in only his first year, and without any offseason, is very telling of just how much the system helps the QB. Now, Luck plays better than Alex Smith, better arm, better intangibles. But I still question Luck's accuracy downfield and as well as on improvised passes (not timed). I do think he's a really smart and hardworking kid, but to have the mental capability of Rodgers, Brees, Manning and Brady is rare, to be able to recognize defenses and make the correct adjustements every single play is not easy. He does it and does it well in college, but he has the great benefit of playing in a run-first offense and working the playaction passes. Luck doesn't do 30% of what the Elite guys do at the LOS (in the terms of the passing game, not counting reading the box and checking to a run). What Luck does at the LOS is not even close to what Matt Ryan has to do, and Ryan plays in a similar system. Let's just say this: Luck plays in an offense that emphasises the RB. I question if he can excell in an offense that emphasises the QB. Play very well in such an offense, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to. But he's being painted as better than Manning, and I think that's premature. [/QUOTE]
