Why is it, with that offense, it's ok for Luck to turn the ball over as many times as he did?
The Colts lost to all 4 elite teams they played in lopsided games.
Andrew Luck is not yet elite. And I'm tired of hearing he is and I'm tired of him getting excuses.
HE HAD 24 TURNOVERS THIS YEAR.
24.
He plays in the worst division in the AFC.
His stats are bloated because half of his games came against shit competition (20:2 against the shittiest teams on his schedule), and the other half of his games the games were so lopsided he played catch up and amassed a shit ton of yards and garbage TD's against prevent defense (see Denver, New England, Pitt).
They freaking kept him in against NE for no reason other than so he could extend his streak of 300+ yard passing games. It was a joke.
Stop quoting his stats as why he's elite. His stats are bloated and non-representative of the year he truly had.
He was arguably better as a rookie than he was this year.

The Colts have used 10 different O-line combinations in 16 games. 10. The Indy line is pathetic, IMO, one of the worst in the league. That problem was exacerbated when Bradshaw, their best pass catcher, went down for the year.
They have NO running game, at all. Against Dallas they ran it 10 times for 1 yard. TRich is slower than Andy Reid and Herron is a 3rd stringer, at best.
If the Colts are going to win this year, Andrew Luck HAS to carry them.
Now, having said all that, I do agree that he's regressed some this year. But only because he's trying to do to much. He's trying to hang on that one extra second when he doesn't have the time b/c of that horrific line.
