A look at the much vaunted QB Class of 2012 shows that Luck is in a class by himself, but interestingly our very own Ryan Tannehill is currently having the 2nd best season out of that class. Foles and RGIII dealt with injuries, so its hard to compare, but they weren't playing all that well before injuries anyway.

Andrew Luck

63.6 3,085 26 9 100.3

I like the completion % and 17 and 7. If he can ever connected deep then look out.
 
Luck is a freak. I mentioned this a while back, but one reason to feel good about what Tannehill is doing this season is that it actually looks a lot like the kind of efficiency improvement Luck made last season.

Progress is good. Progress is our friend. Progress is our pal.

Just keep making progress.
 
Tannehill is nowhere near where he needs to, and will likely be, but considering his only 20 college starts, his QB coach until Lazor effectively took over, and dinosauristic OC the first 2 years as well as at Texas A&M, he's come a long way since London. I don't think it's a coincidence.
 
Luck is the next great one, sadly.

Luckily he plays for the colts.

Tannehill has made and will keep continuing to make progress. Deep ball is next.

Good point. I know that wasn't a strength for Tom Brady when he came out, but it is now. Maybe the deep throw can be developed. Can you imagine the offense if Ryan Tannehill became more proficient with the deep ball?

I think it's something he'll add to his game. Keep in mind that I wasn't sold on him coming out of college and that I really wasn't even sold on him after year one. It's after I saw him continually addressing flaws in his game that I decided to drink the Kool-Aid.

Some of the things he's been dinged for where I think he has made HUGE progress:

- Finding passing lanes, changing trajectory of throws, and pump faking (still needs to do this more).
- Ball security (remember the stat from the other night that he hadn't lost a fumble in like 25 games?)
- Looking off defensive backs.
- Ball placement on short and intermediate throws, which is a function of better throwing mechanics.
- Throwing with touch (Landry TD vs Packers, or the throw to Clay vs the Chargers GREAT examples of improvement in this area).
- Stepping up in the pocket and extending plays when the pocket crumbles.

These are all areas where I think we've seen legitimately important growth in 2 and a half years. Keep in mind that he spent the off-season getting coached up on his footwork to improve his accuracy and his ability to navigate the pocket or get out of trouble.

When you have a young person who has a ton of TALENT, but is short on skill, the key thing you want to see is dedication and improvement. That's true not just in football, but in anything in life. You gain talent through dumb luck at birth. You gain skills through practice, effort, and repetition.

Moving on from #17 right now would be the dumbest decision in franchise history. You've just invested in talent and you're watching the player move toward realizing his potential. And now people want to cut bait? Get, *ahem*, real.

I'm not usually big on conspiracy theories, but I think the Colts "sucked for Luck"

Consider this, Archie Manning and Oliver Luck (players' daddies) are friends and former teammates. They engineered (along with Colts management) the events that transpired as the Colts decided what to do about Peyton when he was injured. Think of the difference an Andrew Luck means to a franchise. Fix was in I tell you!

I've been saying since 2012 that the only conceivable reason to continue starting Curtis Painter in 2012 was to suck for Luck. Painter is ****ing terrible. Dan Orlovsky was much better, and as soon as they put him in they promptly won two games.
 
You can definitely see improvement in RT17. The 114.8 passer rating was his 5th highest of his career. But even better yet 3 of his top 5 passer rating games have come in the last 5 weeks. Getting better every week
