I know this might have been said before, but it's one thing saying this before Luck has really played much or just starting his career like last year. But now with 2 years in and seeing the games he's won and comebacks and his style of play. I know he's replacing Manning and how some could make that comparison and he does do his own audible, but Luck's game is so much different from Manning's. Luck can move around and run while Manning is more like a surgeon dissecting defenses and so timing and precision based and mental. A lot of it is mental for Luck too. But am I the only one that see Andrew Luck if comparisons can be made to be similar to John Elway? I know he playd at Standford like John did. I'm not saying he is John as John is a HOF and Luck has much more seasons to play even be in that category. But there's a lot of similarities. Manning has always had the big stats. What people don't realize about elway is he was pretty good with TD to INT ratio, but not always the prettiest stats with that, but Elway found ways to win game.
Already so early Luck has carried his team and won so many comeback games already and from big deficits. Elway was known as mr comeback, and one of the most clutch qbs as far as rallying his broncos from big deficits in games. There is so much in relation. Oh yeah and like I said with the stats, Elway could or would not look so great sometimes early in the games and might throw some interceptions like luck did, but when crucial situations came and they needed a comeback, Elway would comeback and score td despite the Ints and rally for the Win. And Elway carried his Broncos withouth much of a ground game for many seasons.
Elway is a big qb, a big guy, but was pretty athletic. Some people might not remember, but Elway was quite the scrambler especially early in his career and could run or create time and space with his legs. Luck would by time and improvise with his legs like Elway would. Elway has a stronger arm though, while I think Luck is slightly faster than Elway was, but a lot of similarities. Which is a great sign for Colts fans for their qb to share a loit of similarities with a HOF qb like Elway.
