There have been a couple speed bumps this season for Andrew Luck on his way to Canton. The legend of Luck grew and grew in his first three seasons. He played very well, enough that we overlooked a lot of his faults, like a penchant for a few too many turnovers. Maybe it was that there are so few great young quarterbacks, we wanted someone to be that future Hall of Famer. And if you watched Luck close enough though, you knew he was legit, seemingly the best prospect in however many years who lived up to the hype. Luck was basically LeBron James in the NFL, the rare once-in-a-lifetime prospect who actually played to that level. But it’s also rare to have an immaculate career, and Luck is gong through either a horrible slump or is having some of his flaws finally called out in his fourth season, depending on how you view Luck. Luck is having a bad season and not surprisingly, the Colts are going with him. Luck’s final numbers Sunday against the New Orleans Saints — 23-of-44 for 333 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions — look a lot better than he played. Luck did almost nothing until the Colts were trailing 27-0. He had 100 yards on his first 25 attempts, an unfathomable 4 yards per attempt against a bad New Orleans Saints defense. He threw a rookie-type interception very late in the first half with the Colts in field-goal position when he never saw cornerback Kyle Wilson dropping in a zone coverage. Luck came into the game with a sickly 75 rating and bumped it up just a bit with an 81 rating on Sunday, thanks in large part to T.Y. Hilton getting free for an 87-yard touchdown. Luck’s rating in the first half, as the Saints took a 27-point lead, was 19.3. A big second half means little when your team is in such a big hole by halftime.
