Colts QB Andrew Luck, who set an NFL rookie record for passing yards and tied the all-time mark for fourth-quarter victories en route to leading a 2-14 club in 2011 to 11 wins and a postseason berth, is his own biggest critic.

“I would give him an ‘A’, but he’ll give himself a ‘C,’ that’s just the type of kid he is," said offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who, after mentoring QBs Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger during their rookie seasons, again showed he has the magic touch with developing first-year triggermen. “He shouldered it without ever looking like he was pressed to carry the team. He just tried to do the job the best he could and at times I thought he was miraculous.

“He made plays that I’ve only seen Ben or Peyton make later in their careers, let alone as a rookie,” he said.

Not only plays; Arians put a lot more two-minute and no-huddle offense responsibilities on the plate of Luck than he did in the first seasons of a pair of future Hall of Famers.
