What do you think about Donald Brown this year, JT?
tbqmfh he started to come on toward the end of last year but i think someone else will be the starter by the time the season is over.
If you are asking for Fantasy reasons, that was a fool's gold touchdown aided by some very nice blocking.
From the Donald Brown I've seen, it doesn't matter who the QB is or how good the line is, he's a running back in every way. He's indecisive and the wind changing direction is enough to tackle him.
The thing I liked most out of Luck today aside from him going right back to Collie for the clutch 3rd down conversion on the play right after Collie dropped that easy ball (most rookie QB get scared and don't go to the same guy in that situation) was the scrambling. Those would have all been coverage sacks with Manning.
he has terrible vision and can't pick up blocks to save his life. to his credit the colts never really gave him a good line, but he needs a wide open hole and some swole sitchoassdown blocks downfield to get those big plays
I mean, he is supposed to be the real deal and we all knew he was a stellar athlete so this is no surprise, right?
If he has a legit year, my reaction will be "It's about damn time."

While I put well nothing into preseason football Luck is going to be a solid NFL QB. He has it rudden all over him.
Donald Brown has a career avg of 4.2, he can go the distance as we've seen a few times. While it's debatable if he's "feature back" material he is an asset if put in the right spots/situation.
In college I didn't realize he was such a great athlete. Then when you got to see some of his workouts I was really amazed at the athletic ability.
Good post...why can't you have decent takes like this more often?
oh I agree he is so much better then peyton
he actually might be able to beat the chargers in the playoffs to
peyton is going to destory denver![]()
Has there ever been a more criticized poster than myself? I'm a football junkie as you will see, so what if I like to talk about whatever in the off season, anything is better than nothing. Now it's time to cool the bull and start getting serious.
Luck looked pretty sick, tbh. To be smart enough to dump off that pass when it all blew up was pretty impressive. You might have one bad ass rookie on your hands.
Colts gonna go 23-0, preseason wins baby!
Now back to reality.
Being realistic what will their record be?
Hard to judge how good this team can be. The most impressive thing today for me was the defense only giving up that field goal. The Rams are rebuilding too so it's not really a fair assessment. Let's see how they do against Pittsburgh next week before we all start sucking each other's s.
Its hard to find any flaws in Luck right now. Good footwork, decision-making, size, mobility, accuracy.
I could see the Colts winning at least 6 games.
Take away just one run from Browns career (his 80 yarder last year) and his average dips below 4. It's not even debatable if he's feature back material...he really does suck lol.
----------------------
As for Luck I'm really not sure why people are expecting him to come in and struggle? He's basically a much more talented sam bradford and has some decent weapons to throw to still. All the people before the draft who jumped on RG3's bandwagon and said he is better only did so because Griffin is brand new and we've seen Luck be awesome for three years.
I remember when Luck was a freshman and Harbaugh said he had the best quarterback in the nation on his team...he was right. By his 3rd year, Luck will be putting up Aaron Rodgers type numbers.
Good that he has Wayne and Collie to throw to--that'll help his growing process and after they get him the talent in the future, he'll be top-5 someday.
LOL, I just happened to catch this game last night. It wasn't planned and I didn't even know it was on. However THIS particular game was perfect, it was great because about half way through it I dropped sam bradford and picked up andrew luck.
Lets not start sucking each other s just yet over Luck.
The Colts approached that game like it was the frickin Super Bowl. Rookie coach looking to impress the fans,and on a national stage....gameplanning and blitzing against a St Louis vanilla defense(hang your hat on that)....Colts kept the starters in for nearly a full half in pre season game 1?
Settle down....
Do I hear an echo?
