Kurt Warner: Colts Are Asking Too Much From Andrew Luck 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Oct 6, 2016 12:52 pm

Andrew Luck is carrying too much of the burden for the Indianapolis Colts, Kurt Warner says.

"Let's be honest here. Since Andrew Luck has been with the Colts, they have not had a great supporting cast around him in any way, shape or form," Warner said. "... He has to do so much for this football team if they're going to have any chance of winning. How many times have we seen him fight and bring this team back late in the game with big plays and give them opportunities to win?"

Luck led the Colts to many come-from-behind victories in his first three seasons, but as the talent around him has decreased those comebacks have started to fall short.

"This kid has been really special at times," Warner continued. "But they've asked him to do a whole bunch within this organization, and I think they're asking him to do way too much to expect to be able to do that every time out with the guys around him.

"So I point the finger much more at things around him whether it be the organization, the general manager and putting the pieces together around him to succeed more than I point it at Andrew Luck, even though after the last year and a half he hasn't played his best football, either."

Yep, Luck will keep getting the benefit of the doubt, but Stafford, who has been put in a worse situation over their careers is somehow not worthy of the same conversation.
