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.

Alex has only demonstrated that he can succeed while crutched with a good defense and running game.

I agree they have more passing weapons, but I don't think Alex could operate in those conditions either. When Alex throws 35 + times, KC was 0-5. When Luck threw more than 35 times the Colts were 8-3.

KC wins the less Alex does, and the opposite is true with Luck.

He's rising quickly, but I'm not sure there are 11 guys better.
