the thing is ... Luck turns the ball over WAY too much. I wish he'd have been drafted into the AFC North or NFC West ...
he lucked into the 1 NFL division that afforded his team success because SOMEONE had to win it and now he has parlayed his big time prospect status into people thinking he's among the top 2 or 3 NFL QB's ... when in fact, he's not. He's top 10-ish. Probably 8-13 (just like his QBR has suggested). That's good. I'd take it as a Chiefs fan...
but he's not Tom Brady. He's not Peyton Manning. He's not Aaron Rodgers.
Dude isn't even Tony Romo.

Part of it is alot of people, both experts and fans, were thinking this was the year Luck would take the BIG LEAP into super-elite status. People had him down for potential MVP and all that.
And people do not like to give up and say they were wrong until there is no choice.
It's early in the season yet. Seahawks were 3-3 last year, and Pats 2-2 coming off a disaster in KC where some were suggesting Brady was done, and a media reporter even asked BB if he was goign to "re-evaluate the quarterback position". There's time for Indy to turn it around. Soft schedule/division will help.
I expect about what we've seen the last few years -- Indy wins the weak AFC south (probably at 10-6 or 11-5), and then wheezes out pretty unimpressively in the playoffs. Pagano gets fired, and then they go from there.
Might be a Manning/Jim Mora redux here in Indyville.
