Luck was, by and large, a top 3 or 4 regular season QB last year. It was only 1 year obviously, but it's only been 2 games this year against the toughest 2 defenses he will likely face. Good money says the Colts make the playoffs and Luck finishes among the top 5 regular season QBS again.

He wasn't top 4. I say there were 7 for sure better QBs last year, Rapelisberger, Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, Brees, Romo and Ryan. He's like right behidn Rivers and Flacco,

I think he's better than Flacco and it isn't close.
I love Flacco, being a South Jersey guy. But Luck is a much more dynamic QB.
Talking about regular season stats from 2014. He was most certainly better than Ryan, Flacco, and Rivers in 2014.
So Matt Jones was timed at 21.7 mph on his touchdown run; which among ball carriers is 2nd in the NFL behind Darrius Heyward-Bey. Do you believe me now that he has good burst or no?

Wait did someone just say Joe Flacco was better than Andrew Luck?

Not entirely. Have I ever said that Ryan wasn't a great quarterback? I know that's what you are trying to get at.

Trade him back to the Saints! We need a good WR.

No he wasn't. Ryan was vastly his superior, Rivers and Flacco just better.
Ryan has Luck beat handedly in any advanced Metric, DYAR, DVOA, TotalQBR, name it, Ryan won it. A lot of it has to do with Ryan's ability ot move the sticks. Luck is better at the big play though. There's value to it. But give me Mike Trout over Chris Davis anyday of the week.

Last year he was. In the future he won't be. Flacco had a crazy good year by his standards last year.

So Matt Ryan is the Mike Trout of the NFL...

Way to use your reading comprehension skills there. Not shocked you failed, more sad at the school system you came through.

Even if Flacco was better last year, which I disagree with, that doesn't make him better. Luck was better the previous two years, too. He's a better QB.

Opposing coach quoted after breaking down Atl film:
"It's a long season, and two games is no enough to draw conclusions, but I really like what they are doing. All the fundamentals are installed. They have the big guys running and the little guys hitting. They have great body posture, which allows for explosive changes of director in the underneath coverage, which should limit YAC (yards after the catch). They have a four-man rush and know how to rush. Combine low YAC with violent tackling and tons of jerseys to the ball, it looks good."
