Off Topic: Bold fantasy football predictions

I am watching Griffin tonight, and I got to tell you, the dude doesn't look like he is ready to play in this league. He will make some plays in the passing game and with his legs, but you won't see much consistency out of him passing this year while he is learning this offense. I wouldn't be surprised if Luck outpasses him by 1500 yards this year.

No, seriously.

I can easily see Luck throwing for 4000+ this year. I don't think Griffin will see 3000 yards.

I don't disagree with the comparison but to just leave it at Baylor didn't have a playbook is a little misleading. While Baylor may not have had a physical book it's not like they were just drawing it up in the dirt or telling everyone to go long. The article even states they had to memorize 300 plays. One could argue that to be able to do that without having a book to study is actually more difficult.

The big problem for Robert Griffin III is that his offense rarely required him to go past the 1st read.

The design of the offense was to suck the defense up with handoffs and bubble screens and then hit them over the top with the bomb. He never had to go to a second read on bubble screens and on the bombs, if it wasn't there he would just take off running. I just think it is going to take him a while before he passes the ball consistently in this league.

Andrew Luck is about to get a great preseason test in Pittsburgh, hopefully he isn't going to make me look like an idiot for all my Luck hype lol.

If the officials let the Steelers sexually assault the Colts receivers on every play, I don't suppose Luck is going to have a great game in this one.

[Peyton]

Wow, Andrew Luck just threw the most undeserved interception of all time.

Haven't watched the game tonight, but regardless I do think that Luck is a better fit for the NFL now, more NFL ready. Who knows how it will all play out but I doubt Indy will end up regretting the choice.

Yeah no chance of that. Luck threw an awful pick 6 early in tonight's game, then came back and sliced the Steelers up for the rest of the half. Would have had 4 straight scoring drives if not for his receiver turning a perfect pass into a gift wrapped interception.

Man, Andrew Luck looks like he's the stud everyone has been building him up to be for years now. I can't believe it, but i think the Colts have struck gold again. Un-fricking-believable.
