  Colts fans have to be happy go from one franchise QB to immediately to another one and only had to endure one shit sandwich of a season.

  4.59 40 yard dash, 35 inch vertical, and 10’6″ broad jump.

  Well, Andrew Luck went out this morning and put up a 4.59 40 yard dash time, put up a 36″ vertical, and a 10’4″ broad jump.

  If there was any doubt (and I don’t think there was) Andrew Luck just showed why he is a oncetwice in a decade type prospect.

  /assumes your point is that Newton was missing items from this list: “Long time starter in a pro-style offense, consistent performer, excellent pocket awareness, great leadership skills”

  Cam Newton was better than people thought. Plenty of people were hating on Cam Newton last year and doubting he could play in this league. While we don’t know about Luck’s future, his prospects seem as good as any prospect to at least be a good starter for a long time.

  I would say Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Drew Bledsoe were hyped to a similar degree, Luck maybe moreso than Eli and Carson in the last decade, definitely more than Couch, Alex Smith, Russell, Stafford, Bradford, and Newton.

  Luck has had the longest hype of any recent pick I remember. How many #1 overall picks decided to stay in school, and ended up staying at #1 and reinforcing all the hype, rather than dropping (eg Matt Leinart)?

  I don’t really remember the hype with Peyton Manning, but was he an obvious #1 overall had he not come back to watch Charles Woodson win a Heisman?

  And, of course, Ryan Leaf and Matt Leinart.

  Yes. If he could have come out for the ’96 draft he probably would have gone #1. Definitely would have gone #1 in ’97. Did so in’98. Aikman was a similarly valued QB prospect and come out in the most front-loaded draft of all time. Ryan Leaf is in the class below and Matt Leinart is in with the guys who couldn’t hold serve on the hype. The only other one I can really think of for that is David Klingler.

  The person who would have matched this doesn’t only because he went to the USFL, Herschel Walker.
