After seeing how natural Andrew Luck looked and what great success he had running the no-huddle during the Colts’ final drive in Week Two (it was Luck’s first fourth-quarter game-winning drive), it is only natural to ask why the Colts wouldn’t use the two-minute offense more frequently. The answer directly relates to what the coaching staff identified in the offseason as one of its biggest challenges: trying not to confuse their young players by moving at the uniquely advanced pace of Luck. Luck is clearly ready, but an offensive line in flux because of injuries and a lack of continuity and a young WR corps simply are not. Source: Pro Football Weekly
Excuses for what? Lucks looked every bit the part thus far, no question, and has plenty of talent around him. Just a matter of getting everyone on the same page.
Yea i've had both his games on TV so far and he has looked pretty good. Really surprising considering the talent level on that team.
I think Luck is legit, but no huddle against the Vikings really doesn't count given their history of blowing leads the last two years. Look what Blaine freaking Gabbert did against them; 1-10-JAC 24 (1:18) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass short right to 84-C.Shorts to JAC 44 for 20 yards (41-M.Raymond). 1-10-JAC 44 (1:03) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass short middle to 32-M.Jones-Drew to MIN 49 for 7 yards (50-E.Henderson). 2-3-MIN 49 (:43) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass incomplete short right to 84-C.Shorts. 3-3-MIN 49 (:36) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass incomplete short right to 14-J.Blackmon (52-C.Greenway). 4-3-MIN 49 (:32) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass short left to 14-J.Blackmon ran ob at MIN 39 for 10 yards. 1-10-MIN 39 (:27) (Shotgun) 11-B.Gabbert pass deep right to 84-C.Shorts for 39 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
