The myth that Luck had a better team around him than , fatass. The Colts went 2-14 the year before they drafted Luck. Only a handful of players were left from the Manning teams by the time Luck showed up, and even that's counting the kicker and punter. He was surrounded by rookies all over the field at the skill positions. In contrast, $cam walked into a team that already had Steve Smith, Greg Olsen, Ryan Kalil, Jordan Gross, Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson, Chris Gamble, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Thomas Davis, and Jon Beason (though the last two ended up getting injured).
Are you for real?
How many wins did the Panthers have the year before Newton was drafted, try....2-14.
And, ya might recheck the career of Reggie Wayne.
Sorry but all yoiur BS just won't work, Andrew Luck is a turnover machine....ok?
And despite all that talent around Newton, he only won four more games than Matt Moore, Jimmy Clausen, Tony Pike and Brian St. Pierre did the previous season. The Panthers didn't start turning it around for real until they drafted Luke Kuechly and Josh Norman the following year.
Meanwhile, Luck dragged his tier supporting cast to 11 wins and a playoff spot immediately. You can't even use the division excuse, because both Luck and had a double-digit-win divisional rival to contend with that year (the Texans and the Falcons respectively).
