For those of you that are Indianapolis Colts fans, or just like to see a good player do well, then you have to be excited about last week for Andrew Luck, and the fact that his arm strength is back and in fine form. He's been out for quite some time, and had taken it easy over training camp and the pre-season. How that translates as the season progresses, we'll have to see.
Luck's arm looked to have all the zip it used to in last week's loss to the Texans. The Colts might view it as a loss, but the fact that they have their starting QB back to normal should be considered a win for the most part. Tonight's game against the Patriots should be a different story however, with Luck needing to have a great game and bring home the W if he is to be taken seriously from here on in, as the skeptics (myself included to a certain extent) maintain that he is an underachiever so far in his career. At the time of this post, Luck is 6/10, with 65 yards passing in the first quarter.
Granted, Luck took over the Colts from Peyton Manning, and those are big shoes to fill. But somehow, he needs to step up sooner or later and definitively make the Colts his team, and show them he can win and lead them into the postseason to contend for a Super Bowl. Until that happens, he's just another dude throwing a ball.
