I don't know if you heard, but Andrew Luck played football yesterday. The Colts had their first preseason game against the St. Louis Rams, and Lucks line was as follows:
10-16, 188 yds, 2 TD, 1 rush for 9 yds (3 total touchdown drives)
I think a couple things really stood out to me as I watched.
1. He looks good running the offense. Now, he didn't audible at the line of scrimmage or call his own plays, but he did at least use a snap count a couple of times, and he got the ball where it needed to go. He made good decisions overall, and obviously did not turn the ball over.
2. His throwing mechanics are impeccable. From his feet, to his head, to his arm, Luck looks like a model when he throws the ball. His 2nd touchdown was a 23 yard strike to Austin Collie in the endzone. He threw the ball hard, with a perfect spiral, and it went exactly where it should. I read one blogger who thought that Peyton Manning could not make that throw with that velocity at this point. Very interesting.
However this works out, there is some positivity in Nap-town today, and we are all happy that the Colts got another goofy looking QB to replace their last goofy looking QB.
