The last time that anyone got the amount of hype that Luck did last year was with Elway.
And to say that Geno wouldn't have had success in a pro style set like Stanford ran with three NFL level linemen protecting him as well as a top 20 defense covering his ass is, redundantly, assinine.
Geno played in a pro-style set in 2010 as a sophomore and put up excellent numbers.
You are seriously giving Geno the Warren Moon treatment right now and that's a little embarassing in this day and age.

Luck was hyped because there wasnt a blemish. Perfect technique, good arm strengTh, phenomenal accuracy, phenomenal pocket awareness, good mobility. Add in that he ran a pro offense. Add in that when he ran a pro offense, he was making pre snap reads and quick decisions more surgically than many nfl qbs. So please... Stop with the ridiculous bullshit that Genos sophomore season in a pro offense and his success later in a spread remotely compares to Lucks. It's embarrassing. Luck wasn't hype. He was the real deal. Geno isn't even close to lucks level as a prospect, but then, nobody in the last ten years was even close either.
I don't know what you're implying with the warren moon example. I sure hope it's not what I think you are.
