    Luck is over rated but it's not just him. ESPN has been part of the cause of the downfall of QB's. They continue to talk about a "must have franchise QB" when time and time again, teams with marginal QB play win Super Bowls. QB's aren't given any chances to develop, either they're a star out the gate or gone. I use an example like Rich Gannon. The guy was a nobody/backup for 11 years before his first true starting gig. When he finally got one in Oakland, he became the league MVP. The list of solid QB's that took more than a couple years before breaking out is way longer than the QB's that had immediate success and continued for entire careers.

    I think the difference with Warner was that he didn't develop ala NFL but was a gold mine from the AFL. The NFL currently has zero issues let QB's disappear from the league to try improving via CFL, AFL, Indoor league or the on again off again NFL Europe and of course the league of leagues, XFL. Typically more common from those leagues to get a backup like Tony Graziani and Stan Gelbaugh, or the rare Tommy Maddox.

    Mariota has a better rookie season than luck other than wins and yards thrown, Mariota's got a better completion %, td/init ratio, TD %, Yards/Avg, Yards after the catch, better Rating, same amount of fumbles, rushing yards, and less times sacked so IMO hes on the right track to be great.

    ESPN NEEDS there to be another Manning-Brady like rivalry, theyre not content with the league only having a hand full of household names, bad for their business. Thats why they love Luck the way they do.

    Its good for mostly everyone to believe in the 1st overall pick who replaced a legend is a legend in the making.

    Absolutely agree with this. This is the main purpose for the overhyping of whatever the top college QB's are every year. I first had a real issue with this when the overhyped Geno Smith because of the lack of QB's coming out. Without seeing an NFL snap, I think both Wentz and Goff are both overrated and unless they're superstars, they will be considered big time busts despite being over hyped from the get go.

    Its part of the process to overhype guys coming out for the draft. All year you heard very little from ESPN in the way of those two, come February-April thats all they talked about.

    After 2014 with Mariota and Winston the drop off is SIGNIFICANT. Thank God we had our 2-14 season when we did, if not it could be years before we got another shot at a franchise QB.
