1. Not one person within the NFL believes Andrew Luck is anything less than a superstar. (Or “elite,” if that’s your preferred phrasing.) Luck made more incredible plays than any QB in the league last year. Problem was, he had too many negative ones too. Luck can curtail these and help his developing O-line, plus ward off the injuries that are starting to clutter his “work history” report, by getting rid of the ball quicker.
2. Here’s the paradox: what makes Luck special is his ability to extend plays. Most quarterbacks break down a play and go sandlot when they extend the action.
