Kurt Warner: Andrew Luck most like Matt Ryan - monoxide - 07-19-2012 10:56 PM

For those who are interested, Kurt Warner was a pretty good QB. Also for those interested, Andrew Luck will be a very good quarterback. And finally, if you're still with me, Matt Ryan is a very good QB. As a huge Andrew Luck fan and an even bigger Matt Ryan fan, it's good to see Kurt Warner (one of my favorite players of all time) also sees the similarities from intelligence to accuracy.
Quote:Probably a guy I liken him to a little bit is a guy like Matt Ryan," Warner said Thursday on NFL Network. "A guy that maybe doesn't have the top-notch physical skills, meaning that great arm. But he's a very timing-oriented quarterback and he gets back and sets his feet, he's very accurate, can make all the throws across the field.
"And so, coming in, I'm not sure I expect him to wow us so much as I expect him statistically to be a good player," Warner went on. "He's very much like a Matt Ryan, who at this point hasn't necessarily blown us away, but he's come in he's won a lot of games, very consistent, makes a lot of plays, maybe doesn't have the wow factor of somebody like a Cam Newton or an RG3."

Kurt I love his opinions though others do not. Still I agree there.

I view him as a mix between Matt Ryan and Tim Tebow; Ryan a quarterback, Tebow as an athlete.

Yeah....I think this is a horrible comparison. I love Matt Ryan, he has toughness and he is smart and he is a winner. But physically, Luck just has so much more than Ryan, and I think Luck is way ahead of where Ryan was with regard to flowing through a bunch of progressions on one play.
That's not a knock on Ryan, I just think Luck is more polished in that aspect than any guy the league has seen as a rookie.
