The Cold Hard Truth


Recommended Posts

In recent history Manning was in the SB two years ago. Luck never has been. If you're talking future you shouldn't call him elite, you should say you're projecting him to be elite one day.And by your criteria shouldn't Wilson be Elite? He's been in two SB's and won one in recent history.

Different circumstance for Wilson.... An no I firmly believe Luck has reached elite status. He has the stats,playoff victories,and all around status to be considered elite. Personally I think Big Ben surpassed Manning last season he (Peyton) just seems to have fallen off a little.

I would take Luck over Peyton on a one-year deal every day of the week. If I had to choose "elite" quarterbacks then it would be Rodgers and Brady at the moment, with Luck just behind them. Peyton and Brees have both declined a decent amount, in my opinion.

I personally look at it like this....

Last season Manning had all the tools necessary to be at another SB. He had a great defense,awesome talent,decent coaching,etc. but he couldn't get it done. As for Luck he had an average defense,decent offensive talent,and good coaching. Now if you really want my Cold Hard Truth of an opinion as to how I think the QBs shook out last season it looks like this....

1.Tom Brady

2.Aaron Rodgers

3.Andrew Luck

4.Drew Brees

5.Ben Roethlisburger

6.Peyton Manning

7.Tony Romo

8.Joe Flacco

9.Matt Ryan

10.Russell Wilson

11.Matthews Stafford

12.Phillip Rivers

13.Ryan Tannehill

14.Cam Newton

15.Andy Dalton

Yes, not denying it but to say he's worse than Manning cause of it is silly.

Manning has a SB ring, and has been to one of the last two SBs.

Are you saying Manning is worse than Luck because of one game in the second round, while he was injured no less?

Remember:

But Willy you're gonna say Luck is a worse QB than Manning because of 1 bad game

Please apply no biases in your assessments.

Also just for funning let me give you a glimpse as to just how incredible Luck is....

Luck numbers in his 1st 3 season where...

58.7 completion %,13,907 total yards,98 total TDs,86.6 QBR,and 56 total turnovers

While Manning's in his 1st 3 season where...

60.3 completion %,12,287 total yards,88 total TDs,85.6 QBR,and 64 total turnovers

Edit: and before anyone yanks my chain about TOTAL YARDAGE feel free to take off 905 yards rushing by Luck to make Manning look slightly better.

No of course not I just think Luck has more to offer at this point in their careers than Peyton.

Quite simple Luck has shown he knows how to win in the playoffs at at least a 50% rate while Manning.... Not so much. He is on that decline stage

Yet:

Luck played terrible in his biggest game.

Manning has won one SB, and been to three.

He has proven to be a winner.

Luck has not.

And based on your criteria here:

Nah I know what Luck did in that game is was exceptionally pissy. But Willy you're gonna say Luck is a worse QB than Manning because of 1 bad game against the future SB winners?

Manning's recent losses are excusable, seeing as:

1) He was injured in one of them

2) The Seahawks were a juggernaut, and seeing as you mentioned Luck played bad against the "future SB winners", this would surely be taken into account, yes?

3) He has already proven he knows how to win a SB.

"One bad game" does not dismiss Manning as less of a guy to depend on than Luck. Your own criteria argues this.

If you're actually taking circumstances and the rest of the team into consideration, you should never list SB's, or even wins, as a QB stat. It's a, well, logical fallacy, as Mo put it.

Did something get edited out? I must've missed it.

Apparently so. It's for the best.

People always forget to consider the times are changing in the nfl. Franchise marks are being set across the board with qb passing numbers. Now, I'm not saying that Luck is nothing special, but you've gotta keep things in context. That team flings the ball at a high rate. Of course his numbers are going to be that high. Frankly those numbers actually aren't even that impressive to me. The td/int ratio is not great nor is the completion percentage. Based on those stats he's pretty much shown that he's producing more quantity than quality. Edited by Atlfanstckndenver

Luck has performed well with a shaky O-line. VERY well

He's 3-3 in the postseason, with the defense surrendering a combined 88 points in 2 of those losses. Their defense has failed them miserably the last 2 years in the playoffs

3-3 ain't bad at all considering that

Sounds very similar to all the reasoning Ryan gets as pass by a few, to be honest.

I deleted the Tuggle comments because those things where taking away from what I want in this thread. Critical Falcons football discussion. If you are reading to see those comments then by all means leave this thread.

Then you shouldn't have added them in the first place. You're no victim here. Only an fool would think that having that as your opening part of your post would not then lead to its discussion.
