Is Andrew Luck more Brett Favre than Tom Brady?
Could he evolve into the latter?
Luck makes some truly incredible plays but he absolutely makes some head scratchers that cost his team ballgames. Both guys are QBs that you'd love to have but there's a definite tier there. You can and most likely will win a championship with Brett Favre at some point in a full career but you're a clear favorite every year with Brady (or Manning when Manning was at his peak).
Luck's just a little too aggressive; a little too risky sometimes. And this has become a league designed to trick you; to fool you into that critical mistake. That's what's going to make the Pats such a brutal matchup, especially for the Chiefs. They're not going to give us 2-3 turnovers. I'd honestly be surprised if we grab a single turnover from them. Brady's just too damn smart.
Luck has a step to take before he gets there. He can be fooled. And he's not a young man anymore. Alex Smith came to KC for his age 29 season - Andrew Luck will be in his age 28 season next year. There's a good chance that we've seen the peak of Luck's evolution.
Aaron Rodgers can mask a shitload of deficiencies and make his team good. Brady can as well. Hell, Wilson's done that this year. Can Luck? Maybe...but maybe not.
Sure, it's a bit of a 'hot take' but there's a real question to be asked there.
