Andrew Luck's Performance since Framegate

We have an ongoing thread about TB12's performance since Framegate. I think we have all been looking at the wrong place. Andrew Luck's performance deteriorated in all the games after the Framegate. Is it possible that Colts are the ones deflating the balls illegally before Framegame and once they stopped after Framegate Andrew 'HOF' Luck's stats took a nose dive.

vs NEP - 12/33 36.4% 126 3.8 Avg 0 TD 2 Int

vs BUF - 26/49 53.1% 243 5.0 Avg 2 TD 2 Int
vs NYJ - 21/37 56.8% 250 6.8 Avg 1 TD 3 Int
vs TEN - 18/30 60.0% 260 8.7 Avg 2 TD 2 Int
vs NEP - 30/50 60.0% 312 6.2Avg 3 TD 0 Int
vs NOS - 23/44 52.3% 333 7.6 Avg 3 TD 2 Int

Since, Framegate Luck has 11 TDs & 9 Ints.

And those TDs are misleading. Check out the article on why Andrew Luck is the King of garbage time touchdowns.

Andrew Luck is the king of garbage-time touchdowns

Well I guess inflation played a significantly more probable than not factor to his previous successes.

BTW, Andrew Luck led the league in TDs in 2014 Regular season. 40 TDs , 16 Ints

Luck needs flat footballs to play at a mediocre level, otherwise he's horrible to the point a 40 year old backup is a better option than he is.

The weird (well, one of the many weird) part of the Wells Report was that they had a direct quote of the Colts "cheating" with balls. Game balls are allowed to be prepped but not practiced with and it was clearly brought out that Luck likes to practice with game balls (footnote 21, page 41).

Practicing with game balls is against the rules. But, you know, no-one cares.

Luck has been rumored to be regretful and remorseful for ever having laid eyes on the Monkey's Paw...

And the TDs that he's accrued were almost entirely in garbage time. Looks like someone's struggling without overinflated balls.

While I'm sure Luck will rebound, how amazing would it be if he didn't? I would love nothing more than for Luck to have an RG3-esque fall from grace while Brady keeps kicking ass for another 5-7 years. Would serve Indy right.

Here's the best comparison. Including playoffs, Luck has thrown at least 2 interceptions in a game in 7 of his last 10 games, going back to week 13 of 2014..............
Tom Brady has thrown at least two interceptions in a game in 7 of his last 69 games going back to week 8 of 2011...................

This is called Karma.. what goes around, comes around.

the ravens are basking in the same karma

That's more solid statistical evidence than the Pats fumble frequency 'evidence' bandied about a while back.

That's not fair. He's missed 2 games he should have 10 or 11 interceptions by now

All that "saltiness" must still be effecting his throwing mechanics.

I still think that Luck is a fine quarterback, he has just been too good the last few years. And, I can't say I blame him much for Deflategate.

Grigson is another matter. I have very polarized hate/love relationship with that guy. On the one hand, I think he is a scumbag, and I think his part in Deflategate was absolutely despicable. On the other hand, I consider him as arguably the most incompetent GM in the league, apart from drafting Luck (a no-brainer) and Hilton (a definite find), his drafts have been abysmal and his free agency and trade moves worse (my favorite being sending a 1st to Lombardi for Richardson).

I just thank my lucky stars that Grigson is GM of the Colts. If they ever got someone somewhat competent in there that could bring in some good players (such as, say, some decent offensive linemen), I think the Colts with Luck leading them could be very, very dangerous for a long time.

Hopefully Grigson will be with the Colts for the next 20 years. With him as GM, they should be able to re-stock with several overall number one draft picks during that time.

More than Andrew Luck had been pooned by FrameGate ...

The truly talented QB's are still playing well ...

To be honest I don't have any problem with the Colts players. Especially D Jackson who was truthful with his tweet regarding the ball the following day. (Much to the Colts,Ravens and the NFL's chagrin.)

I do however highly dislike the owner,how they went about getting Luck, the fanbase(in general, not all) and especially the NFL brass.

Luck? He's harmless.

He's been getting better each week, at least.

That is effect of playing the AFC South. I think it is the worst division in the history of NFL
