Throwing picks as a young QB helps you develop.

Luck is amazing because he wins anyway. In the 4th quarter he can take shit over with his arm. Ice cold killer.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Not sure how the author of the piece in the OP defines "modern day", but I'm pretty sure that rules changes between the times that Tarkenton and Luck began their careers have resulted in systematically higher current TD/INT ratios.

 

[HammerDown]

Post Favre and Brees the last three seasons they played.

 

[RobBase]

Too bad he will never win a SB thanks to his drug addicted owner.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just like Geno Smith or Ryan Leaf????

He doesn't hold a match to other young QBs like Russell Wilson and has horrible 4th quarter stats when compared to Brees, Manning, Flacco or Brady. He's never been an "Ice Cold Killer".

His ability to crush the juggernauts in his division year in year out is astounding. Has to be the best QB in the league

Ok, then take Tarkenton off.

What does that have to do with Luck's perception as an interception machine?

 

[Across The Field]

I'd take him on my team

Another moot point.

Is it me or is there something off about these numbers ..you have guys at the top who have thrown the same amount of ints as TD' in the frist 3 years? Young, Farve Rodgers ??? Aikman had 31 td and 46 Ints?

 

[Clayton]

Another moot point.

Not moot. Tennessee and Jacksonville haven't had a good defense since Luck has been in the league. Houston's D has been good for 1 year in that span I believe.

I don't think I have seen any team worse on the bases.

There appears to be some fine young QB's that are MISSING from your list.
Did you randomly make this list to to included only certain QB's that you wanted?
I think ya did!

 

[R.J. MacReady]

Doing a quick check ..looks legit Very surprising.

 

[TxHeat]

a whole lot of those picks are against the Pats.

I've ranked them soley on ratio, not the amount of INTs. I could do INT:ATT ratio if you want? The rankings still won't change much.

I just did not believe that some of these guys had the same amount of ints & td's after 3 seasons. Very surprising

Yes the Titans pass D has been ranked 15, 11, and 26th
Jaguars 22, 25,22
Texans 21, 3, 16

Hardly juggernauts, but nearly as bad as you attempted to perceive it. It's the offenses that drag the AFCS opponents down.

Didn't know your inferiority complex would come out this soon in a thread.....oh wait, yeah I did. Do you see Russell Wilson's name in the title? This thread is about Luck's perception by ignorant NFL as an "INT machine"....and obviously an unintentional attempt to make Seahawk fans cry.
