RG3 has definitely been better than luck. Also, Luck is nowhere near the MVP convo.

Just remember the Colts were 1-15 last year.

When you compare the teams, its debatable. Numbers RG3 looks better. But the Colts are horribly on the line and rookies EVERYWHERE but Wayne.

With probably the worst qb in the last 10 years starting.

They're this year's version of the 2011 Bengals. Only 1 win against a team above .500. Everyone knows they aren't really a legit team.

RGIII has a rookie RB too, and he's been throwing to Joshua Morgan and Leonard Hankerson all year. The Colts TEs may be rookies, but they're both better than Logan Paulsen.

I would say Luck definitely has better weapons in the passing game (especially when Garcon wasn't healthy).

RG3 is sexier than Luck too...and has a bigger unit. /saidoutta'd

Luck looks like he just got thawed out of a block of ice. He's the real deal though.

Yep. He might not win ROY but there isnt a QB in this class that I'm taking over him for the rest of their careers

I read an article awhile back that basically showed Luck is having the better year despite having worse numbers. Has to do with how far his passes travel in the air along with lowest % of passes to RBs and passes behind line of scrimmage. Essentially there is a much higher degree of difficulty to Lucks offense.

Soooo. The same as RG3 and the Skins??? (I think they win tomorrow though...lol). The same as the Bears (whose only win against an over .500 team was Lucks very first game as a pro versus the Colts.)

Look, I think the schedule plays a HUGE part in wins and losses, obviously. But at the same time...its the NFL. They are all good. And the Skins and Colts are playing a similar schedule based on where the teams finished (though NFC E>>>AFC S). Your record is what your record is, especially this late in the year. Colts are 8-4 and have (essentially) a 2 game lead on the WC spot.

Most impressive, and it has a LOT to do with Luck if youve seen all the games, they are 8-1 in 1 possession games.

No question Bruce A has him running the entire playbook. Colts go downfield more than most teams in the NFL, it seems. Very few dink and dunks. They are vertical and no gimmick (not that RG3 is gimmick, but they run shorter routes, for sure).

I'm not calling RGIII an MVP candidate either, to be fair. My point was there shouldn't be any way Luck even sniffs the MVP voting just because of the Colts record. His numbers don't back it up.

From 1-15 to 8-4. He's pretty damn valuable. And I'm not saying he's going to win MVP, more that he'll be in the talks.

The Bengals might be clearing a nice path for Pittsburgh.

Bengals beat San Diego, knocking them out. The Steelers get the Chargers next week.

Bengals play Dallas, if they win, they essentially knock Dallas out (for sure if they lose this week). The Steelers get the Cowboys in 2 weeks.

Would be more than a trade off for the Bengals to get Baltimore playing for nothing the final week.

The Cowboys hosting the Steelers will be a slobber-knocker regardless of records.

Philly may take care of Dallas's chances before the Bengals get them.
