I'm beginning to think he is. The talking heads keep making excuses for him. I saw him make several poor throws that resulted in interceptions. All I know is that Geno was never given the pass that Luck is getting.

I really like Geno and I hope he becomes a huge star in the NFL, but until he gets to the conference title game like Luck did, he's not gonna get a pass.

Luck might be overrated but only because he's hyped so much. He is really good though. He looked like crap last night of course but the hype around him isn't because of how he played last night, it's because of all the games he played well.

In the big picture I don't think Luck is their problem, I think it's most of the rest of the team, crappy secondary, crappy o-line, etc. I'm not sure the management of the Colts know what they're doing and valuable Luck years are passing without a Super Bowl. In not too many years they're going to have to pay Luck a lot more and when that happens they'll have less money to pay good players on the rest of the team.

Luck has been hyped so much that if he doesn't win at least one Super Bowl in his career he's going to be considered a big disappointment. But the Colts, with basically the same team they had the year before they drafted Luck, went from 2-14 to 11-5 with Luck at QB. He's legit.

Geno is just a borderline QB, so far at least. He's not in a position to be getting knocked out of a starting job because a teammate hit him. He was going to be the regular Jets starting QB this year. Now it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up being nobodys regular starting QB ever again. He's not good enough to be doing dumb stuff, at least so far.

You're not very good at politics or sports. You should quit, this isn't for you.

Do you play any sports beyond 4th grade?

I don't think he is overrated. I think at times he seems to be doing too much. The first three drives of that game were killed by bad penalties on the offense. The Colts today remind me a lot of the Colts when Manning first came into the league.

Football, baseball and wrestling - all the way through high school.

What colleges offered you scholarships or grants in aids based on your athletic ability and also have the needed academic requirements to gain admittance. I had several for football, Dartmouth and Brown among them.

Getting a bit personal aren't we? Marshall offered me a scholly in baseball, I turned it down to focus on academics, attended both Marshall and WVU. I was smart enough to realize sports weren't going to pay the bills, academics could provide a nice living (and has).

Getting a bit personal, Really???? You are the one who is ALWAYS touting your supposed degrees. You are the poster child for "grandiosity".
