Andrew Luck a Bust?

That’s a BS standard for any QB no matter expectations.

No QB should ever have SB victory of bust status. This is too much of a team game for that to ever be realistic.

 

Getting 5.5 years out of the #1 overall pick is bust worthy IMO, unless he brought a championship (which he didn't)

When you take a guy that high, you expect him to be the cornerstone of the franchise for the next 15years.

Sure he was productive when he played, but 5.5 years just doesn't cut it

 

Physical toll on Andrew Luck through 6 NFL seasons:

» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs

» partially torn abdomen

» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood

» at least 1 concussion

» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder

» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue that led to this

 

People don't understand a bust is someone who doesn't contribute at all. Not reaching borderline impossible expectations does not make you a bust. People are just butthurt because he chose to walk away on his own terms

 

Hard to say he was bust, he was very productive when he played and for the most part carried that team for the years he was there. The Titans haven't had that good of a QB in forever.

Someone earlier said the better term might be disappointment. I agree, only 7 years probably wasn't worth the first pick of the draft, but still, he was pretty damn good

 

Luck is probably more of a disappointment than a bust.

 

I say he is a bust in this way: his presence allowed management to send manning packing when he still had productive years left.

 

Luck was just about everything you want in a franchise QB. His play, his character, his competitiveness.. his body just didn't hold up after 8 seasons. Maybe if the Colts protected him better, he'd still be around. Or maybe his body just isn't built for this game. You can't predict that when he's coming out of college.

Consider every QB drafted since 2005 and he's easily top 3 out of all of them. A tragic ending, but he's not a bust.

 

When you consider what his father accomplished for us, to think he could be anything more, was just wrong. He probably overachieved given the bloodline.

 

Not a bust but a major disappointment. Most people expected him to have an Eli, Big Ben, Rivers kinda career. Closer to Tim Couch.
