Andrew Luck - I don't think the Colts can go wrong picking Luck, he seems to have all the tools needed to be a very successful NFL quarterback, but I am not willing to say that he is a "sure fire Hall of Famer" like most people out there seem to be proclaiming. I have liked him for a while now, but there are a few things that make me pause.
In some of the games I watched against some of the better teams I did not see the sound decision making that I like to see in the elite signal callers. Specifically, it appeared that he was timid when making deep throws and to often checked down due to what I felt was hesitation, almost like he didn't believe in himself. I want my quarterback to throw the ball with confidence and conviction every time. My other problem with him is that he has never played a down in the NFL, and yes I realize that applies to EVERY draft prospect, but to me I see the confidence and the proper attitude in interviews I just don't always see it on the field, which is where I want to see it.
So what is my overall impression of Luck? I think he will end up being a very good quarterback in the NFL, he has the tools to be an elite quarterback, it just worries me when people start piling on what could be unreasonable expectations onto a guy before he plays a down at the next level. I remember when Mitch Mustain committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks, and he was expected to bring multiple National Championships and Heisman Trophies....he flamed out, transferred to USC where he was a career backup before getting arrested for drugs and barely even made it on the field.
