I agree he's played in a bad division, and Jacksonville and Houston are probably both better teams this year. I just don't think they've done a great job of putting talent around him.
Idk. Saints fans are pretty excited about Coby Fleener and that was Luck's #2 TE at times. The weapons have been there, regardless of whether or not Hilton > AJ Green. As for their o-line, Luck is statistically proven to hold the ball longer than most QBs. When Hasselbeck was in last year, the o-line mysteriously got better.
Let's face it, if Luck were all he's been hyped up to be, he wouldn't need a great team around him. The greats make it happen with lesser players. Like LL said, Luck has one very good year, two mediocre years and an awful year. It is what it is. Great players don't need excuses.
In the end, I think Luck will be more like Stafford or Palmer than someone like Rodgers or Peyton.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
