Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

Especially a rookie who has been lauded, exulted and called the 'Second Coming' by the
Media spinheads.
Of course, apparently, CB, you're either 'oblivious' to the constant hype, or
you Lap it up?

Which is it?

I honestly think both Luck and RGIII have gotten a little too much praise for their play this year. The future definitely looks bright for both of them, but I think they've both got a ways to go before they're considered elite quarterbacks in the NFL. Especially since they're rookies, I don't think it's overly alarming if they have a bad game here or there at this point, and even more so since neither team is very talented.

Your melodramatics here do not lend itself to your argument. For a rookie to take a 2-14 team and have them competing to make the playoffs is a pretty laudable reason. Not to mention the 292 yds/pg average. Sure his TD-INT ratio is now 1:1, but you also have to add in his 5 rushing TD's. He's played like a rook at times, and played outstanding in others.

Besides, most of the year, its been RG3 this and RG3 that. Only when he had his team poised to make a playoff run has it been more Luck than RG3. And I've never heard the "second coming" bit.

One player does not a team make, but compared to the QB's the Colts had last year...well you get the idea.

I see what you're both saying here. I completely agree with you that RGIII and Luck are both having impressive rookie seasons. But I also see what Skyhawk is saying - a lot of members in the national media are acting like they've never seen anything like what these two guys are doing. They're playing well for rookies, but I also think a lot of the media is taking the praise too far for both of them. IMO, neither one is anywhere near the elite NFL quarterbacks at this point, but a lot of the national media acts otherwise.

You're right, Harrison won't be there forever ... in fact he's been out of the league for the last few years LoL. I believe you mean Reggie Wayne
