Donnie Avery? Meh
T.Y. Hilton? He's got some talent but he's a rookie too. So no real advantage there.
Dwayne Allen? Who?
Coby Fleener? Someone he's used to throwing too but Fleener missed 4 games with injuries.
Austin Collie? He's talented but he's always hurt. Played 1 game this season and made 1 catch.

His leading rusher is Vick Ballard, yet another rookie. Pretty impressive what the Colts did on offense with all these rookies and injuries.

They almost have two 1000 yard receivers in Wayne and Hilton, they almost have a 1000 yard back in Ballard (and some guy that almost broke 500), Luck is sixth in pass attempts for the season, and has almost as many Ints as TDs. Yes, Luck's receivers (and how much they pass) make him look better than he is. Do I think he is a terrible football player? No. I think he will turn into a fine QB as he gets more experience. Do I think he has had a better rookie year than Wilson? No.

EDIT: Wow, just looked at their schedule and am not surprised they made the playoffs: TENx2, JACx2, NYJ, MIA, CLE, BUF, DET, KC. I am leaning further away from Luck as an outstanding rookie than I was previously.
