Thoughts on Andrew Luck Thread.........
Date: October 07, 2011 03:50AM

If any of you have gotten to know me at all over the past year you will know I kinda always look at the worst possible scenerios sometimes as kind of a defense mechanisim. If i expect the worst I can't be disspointed..........

While everyone is bathing themselves in the #1 draft pick next year to help sooth the Pain of this horrible season have you ever realized , he's just a 22 Yr. old Kid? My god the expectations placed on him already......no wonder he stayed in college for another year! I think he was hiding. He comes out and god forbid throws 1 Interception , Is he ready for this city and the National press? Our Stinkin fans!!? (I'm as guilty as the rest). Can he handle the Pressure of all the Marino comparisions? Look how easy Brady had it as a 6 round draft pick.

And thats if everything goes according to plan. We have a few other Teams that want Luck as well. And its just getting started. I hope the Kids is character is as strong as the rest of him.

If we get him, I just hope that we have someone running the team who can help him and not ruin him! They would definitely have to fix the o-line to protect him; something that the current regime just can't do.

Every thread on here seems to have Andrew Luck on it lately spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Here's what I think: If we get him, and he doesn't produce RIGHT AWAY, I'm worried that the talk shows and message boards will be buzzing with the BUST word right away. Quite a few (not all) of the very people who "sucked up to Luck" on this very message board will brand him a bust the first time he throws an incompletion in practice. He'll get booed in his first exhibition game. We'll have a campaign to tank the season in favor of the next hyped up college QB

Hopefully, if we get Luck, the fans, press, etc will let him develop as a human quarterback and not expect perfection right out of the gate.

Considering how many fans have been patient with Chad Henne through his dreadful 2010 season, I think Luck will have to be colossally bad for people to turn on him during his rookie year.

Peyton Manning had a rough first year, but he emerged from that as one of the greatest QBs ever. If Luck has the same resolve as Manning, then we should have nothing to worry about.

I will give him 3 years.....I wont criticize him ( andrew luck )until the beginning of the 4th year of his career......

Because i know the OL needs to be revamped, we need a first string pass catching TE which we dont have and we need a true number one receiver which we dont have either...........

Daniel thomas will do well.....IMO....i just worry about his injury issues...


I would even not even mind if we do really bad in 2012 either as long as we can get the rest of the players we need in the draft in 2013...I hope we pick really high as well in 2013.

Andrew luck is not superman.....But i think he can be great if you build a good offense around him.

I think next year is the year we turn this franchise around.

Gruden and cowher are just around the corner...

OH..

Andrew luck.

Define his last name and tell me what you think.

Here i will do it for ya.

luck
1. The chance happening of fortunate or adverse events; fortune: They met one day out of pure luck.
2. Good fortune or prosperity; success: We wish you luck.
3. One's personal fate or lot: It was just my luck to win a trip I couldn't take.
intr.v. lucked, luckĀ·ing,
To gain success or something desirable by chance: lucked into a good apartment; lucked out in finding that rare book.

_____________________________________________________________________


There are words that can mean different things...good or bad

But if you look at the word LUCK in the dictionary.....you cant find nothing negative about it..

Yeah........Put me down as a person who believes in miracles.

GO PHINS.

Thats a scary statement. Becuase while I believe that slightly on some level, There is still a better then average chance we won't score him.
I'd be really careful putting all your eggs in one basket like I did thinking it was a sure thing we were going to draft Ryan Mallet, especially after we moved up into the second round. Do yourself a favor , as I am, and prepare yourself a little in case it doesn't work out that way. So many things need to fall in place including a new coach and upper mangement.

The problem with this franchise is that we're just an absolute trainwreck and we've been that way since that Jacksonville playoff game (I still root for the Jags to lose every single week during the season).

Having a #1 overall QB, great prospect, guy with a great chance to be the next Marino, would do a lot to not only restore some faith in the franchise, but restore some identity and bring some excitement back. It's hard to be excited for this garbage year after year, man. It's real hard.

Thats true. And I made that point to I was blue in the face here and pissed everybody off. Drating Mallet would just have been exciting. It would have given us a personality, a direction. Except for QB Chad Pennington, its something this team has been lacking for a decade. I mean.......moving up for a Running back!? really? Thats gonna sell seats?

Hopefully they finally get it.

And thats were we will stay. For another 37 yrs. We are looking to shake that cycle and up the ante. We want the Pats chasing US for a change.

Name 1 thing he has done that makes him a Punk? The best Coach in the NFL , possibly of all Time, Thought enough of him to pick him in the 3rd round , WITH TOM BRADY as their QB. You have been tring to silence me since weeks before the draft. I think your problem is you don't like the taste of Humble Pie. At least I admit when I was wrong. Enough about me and you though.

Name what Mallet has done that makes him so undisireable and a punk.

I am very well known as one of the guys on here who admit when they are wrong, I have no clue what you are talking about.

As far as Mallett, I dont get a flip. He is a Patriot and if you wanna talk about him, then take your patriot lovin arse over to their board and leave us Phin fans alone.

I just watched Luck play today. Very impressive. He can be an immediate starter in the NFL. Has all the tools & smarts to play the game right. Didn't see one bad thing about his game play. He definitely needs to be on this team so it can begin to rise from the depths of suckness.

Treasure has had a boner since March over this turd of a QB and ever since the moment we didnt pick him, he has whined and cried, just like the little bitch he is.

LOL. No. Actually I was proven correct and YOU and your little Pillow biter buddy are not men enough to admit it.

Its not mallet. Never has been about Mallet. Its the fact that the Dolphins (current regime anyway) do not respect the QB position. On Top of that they Promised us competition for Henne and never produced it. They through all their Eggs into the Henne bag , and although he has improved, I knew it would never be enough.

Thank God Luck is in the next draft because its the only way for us Phin fans to rationalize what could ulimately be a worse season then 2007.

I said it then, I'll say it now. And the Phins Performance so far proves what I said. This draft will be the nails in the coffin of Saprano and maybe Irleland. Moving up and taking a RB , no matter how good , When your Team needs a QB , is a bonhead Dips**t move.

Being 1 and goal and not being able to score AFTER picking that RB Proves my point. So name call away. It shows your lack of intelligence and a major character flaw to be able to admit your wrong.

Takes a little bitch to recognize one. Beeeetch. winking smiley

The only thing you've proven is your complete lack of a hint of intelligence concerning our problems. Henne's been one of the few bright spots on this train wreck of a season (you even admit that) yet you keep whining about not taking a 3rd string QB that hasn't done sheet so far, you're even going so far as to pound your chest like you've actually made a point or something. Your argument would make more sense if you were bitching about not getting Orton or Hassleback (since they're actually playing and producing) or not getting Harbaugh because he's improving a team with limited talent and Sparano can't, but all you do is keep beating the proverbial dead horse about some douchebag with character issues.

I've come to the conclusion that any rational phins fan can do nothing but hope we lose enough games to get the #1 overall pick and andrew luck. there is no other way to get him. if that means rooting for the team to win but being happy when we lose than so be it (that's what I do). But we are clearly not making the playoffs, we clearly suck, we clearly need a pro bowl caliber QB to change our fortunes since the early 1990s/1980s, and luck is the most sure thing in that regard to come along in my lifetime of being a fan (starting in about 1985). anyone focused on what crappy backup QB we signed to replace henne, henne's so called "progress" this year, or any other issue on this team (other than coaching and the FO) is totally missing the point.

so, what matters most this year is (1) we lose enough games to qualify for the #1 overall and (2) the other sh*tty teams (Indy, Minn, Sea, KC, etc) win wherever possible. all aboard the luck train.

You see what you want to see. You and Aquaturd are bullies.Ever since I've gotten here you seem intimidated by me .Why even open my posts if I annoy you so much? Why the name calling ? Are you two too stupid to even try to disprove just 1 thing I've said? I'm not getting into a pissing contest with you anymore. I'll stay here and speak my mind within the rules. The more you attack and the more you ingnore the content of what I've said, the more I know I've gotten to both of you.

who cares about mallett. he's no luck and all having him on the roster would do it make it less likely we'd take luck next year. I love the team's plan---don't spend draft picks or $$ on QBs or try to upgrade the position and instead purposely tank the season to take one of the franchise QBs this year (better than any last year) and hopefully andrew luck

Treasure,

Listen buddy. Ryan Mallett has proved nothing. There was not even good reviews about him in Camp this year. But thats neither here nor there....lets move on to what really matters.

Here is the thing, we can look at the past and complain about who we did or did not take, but it does us (the fans) no good. Lets look at the future and understand what we need to do to fix this sunken ship.

We need a GM, Coach, QB, and about 12-15 new starters next year. Our team is terrible. Maybe worse (not talent wise) than 2007.

Cyber Handshake. I agree 100%. I did most of that complaining when I thought we had a few seasons Of Saprano and Mediocre ball left. I knew it wasn't going to be successful, but I never thought this Team would implode like it has.

It looks like I'm going to get want I want , a new QB, Coach and Possibly GM so so more need to bring it up. I just didn't think it would happen in 4 games!!

We should all raise Beers together anyway......Jets are almost as bad,at least we have an excuse! smileys with beer
