Nice Andrew Luck interview in Indy

Great video interview with Andrew Luck on WRTV 6 in Indy. I was suprised how much of a humble guy Andrew Luck really is. He seems like he is also a real team player, giving most of his success to the guys he played with at Stanford. If Peyton is released in the next couple of weeks like everyone is expecting, I am glad we are going to be replacing him with another class act, IMO.

Couldn't agree more

He seems like a bright kid with a bright future, representing the horseshoe.

Peyton is known as 'The Forehead'; Luck will be known as...

‘The Lab Rat’. The quarterback scientist par excellence.

Why is humble good?

What great QB has ever been humble? I hated the interview. All of it sounded incredibly scripted and I really got sick of hearing ‘down the road’. There seemed to be no free thought in the interview and it seemed kind of awkward. I’m really concerned about what he’ll be like in the lockerroom.

Teams only seem to succeeed with these type of players when there is a dominant coach or superstar. Reminds me of Flacco who has Ray Lewis, Alex Smith who has Jim Harbaugh, or Matt Cassell who has nobody and sucks. High intelligence and physical ability really helps, don’t get me wrong, but without the confidence and leadership tools, the NFL will eat a player alive.

I read your argument on your post and I disagree...

I can name many Humble QBs who have been successful. Roger Staubach, Jim Plunket, Troy Aikman, Joe Montana, etc. etc. Heck, if you go back at look at interviews from Peyton early in his career, he is very humble during interviews. “Yes sir”, “no sir”, “I would be honored to be compared with those great quarterbacks”, etc. etc. Sorry, but your point is well, pointless. Leaders can still be humble in any line of business.

Well said, Radcolt

Mark Olson sounds like a guy who can’t let go. I see many similarities between young Peyton and young Luck. He’s our next QB, so everybody better get ready. I just had a Steelers fan tell me how unfair it is that we had Peyton and are getting Luck.

Pretty sure he wants RG3 who has a lot more swagger. Of course, he sound about half as intelligent as Luck and only a couple of notches above Cam Newton but hey… swagger!

I'm not saying I want or don't want Luck or RGIII

I’m really concerned we’re traveling down a dark road of putting this guy on a pedestal. Aikman, Montana, and Staubach all were very confident. The thing these interviews are missing for me is confidence.

I love Luck and what he did at Stanford is great. All I’m saying is that we, as fans, need to calm down a little bit about this guy. If the Colts draft him I’m going to be ecstatic and assume (for obvious reasons) that he’s the quarterback of the future.

In the mean time, I’ll support Peyton and hope that he comes back. I’ve seen what that guy can do to opposing NFL defenses the last almost 15 years and he’s deadly. At the beginning of last year almost any team in the league would have paid him the contract the Colts gave him an more. If he recovers then the Colts are in the running for the Super Bowl for the next 4 years. If he is cut, the Colts will struggle for the next 2 or 3 before possibly making the playoffs.
