I don;t agree at all with that statement, both teams were building for the future with young and older players... They still had Wayne and a veteran in Avery at WR so they still had a edge even with Green coming in, and their offensive line was on par with ours, we had a edge at Running back, so really splitting hairs on who was deeper.
You just seem to be holding on to this idea that Luck was so superior to Dalton starting out with a much more minor league team and I don;t think the stats or personal support that.. THE END
Damn, you're seeing a whole lot of shit that's not there.
Whether you go by year one or the first three years, facts are, Luck took a bad 2-14 team to 11-5 his first year, lost a playoff game and Dalton took a 4-12 team that wasn't nearly as devoid of talent to a 9-7 record and lost a playoff game. Luck threw for 1,000 more yards and 3 more touchdowns.
Regardless, i wouldn't take Luck over Dalton anyway so you can stop trying to twist this into me saying things i'm not saying. I'm just not going to sit by while people comment with their orange and black glasses on and make ridiculous statements.
One guy is the prototypical NFL QB that was taken #1 overall in the draft and thrown for over 4,000 yards twice in his career, a high of 40 TDs in his best year and has 20 less TDs and 3,500 less yards in 23 less games, while doing it with what is widely considered an inferior team and the other guy was taken 35th overall in the draft and has yet to crack a 68 passer rating in four playoff losses while the overrated #1 pick had 98 or better twice and is 3-3 in the playoffs.
If you want to look through those glasses, be my guest. I prefer not to so i can see things a little more clearly without bias.
