In year two no less… the Brady-stans didn’t start watching football until 2007 so they have no frame of reference.

Certainly there is truth there. I hesitate on putting everyone in that category but it’s not uncommon here.
Careful they’ll start accusing us of being the same person.
That was incredibly weird. A lot of us had a good chuckle.
Jeff George, Ryan Leaf, Rick Mirer, etc, etc, etc. The field is littered with cant-miss QBs, including "generational talent" (which Jeff George was supposed to be) that had all the "tools" but couldn't craft much winning for myriad reasons from external to internal (or both).
Luck’s career ended prematurely and without Super Bowl victory because GM Ryan Grigson didn’t think Andrew needed an offensive line in front of him. By the time they realized he couldn’t do it alone and started drafting O-Linemen, Luck’s body was shot, this after traveling to Oslo to shoot stem cells in his dead shoulder.

I don't think I ever said otherwise.
Football was a bit different back then. Guys lead the league in TD's with 28...which was brady in his second year as a starter. He played 14 games in his first year as a starter as well. So trying to use that as a reason is not a good comparison. I mean why not just use Elways first season, take a lot at that amazing feat. Gootball is different now with passing
Career Sack %
Tom Brady - 4.7% (Protected by an iron wall)
Andrew Luck - 5.0% (Thrown to the wolves)
Luck took 174 career sacks and racked up 332 rushing attempts. It was obvious from year one he played recklessly. The Colts didn’t do a fantastic job with the o-line, but they didn’t fall into some outlier category when it comes to sacks and pressures.
Was this the line’s fault? The play where his shoulder got blown up, lacerated kidney, etc? Trying to cut past defenders like a running back?
This one? On the pass protection?

Probably a late hit here….but who is responsible for putting himself in danger?

This was a widely accepted understanding about Luck…evidenced by this article in 2016 (and others like it.) The damage was mostly done by that point, as he had sustained major injuries due to his stubbornness. After re-aggravating the injuries a few times, the narrative totally changed to ThE cOlTs DiDnT pToTeCt HiM! and the typical bozos who media driven narratives - like yourself - jumped on board. When Luck retired, the revisionist history took an emotional surge to new levels.
Andrew Luck "reluctantly accepting" need to slide to avoid hits
The Colts have made no secret of their desire to see quarterback Andrew Luck do more to protect himself during games, particularly when he's running out of the pocket on plays like the one that left Luck with a lacerated kidney last season.
Well you just showed that you didnt start watching football until recent, because Passing was a lot different in 2001 than it is now as far as numbers go. Brady lead the league in Td's in 2002 with 28, today that would be half a season for some.

There is no sure thing coming out of college.
Andrew Luck was a "generational" prospect (Elway, Peyton, Luck, Lawrence). He was living up to it, but getting his ass kicked in the process, and he didn't survive long enough, as a result.
