A Lucky Sunday

With a 23 yard pass to wide reciever T.Y. Hilton in the 2nd quarter, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Andrew Luck eclipsed Cam Newton's one year old rookie passing record of 4,051 yards. Luck finished with 205 yards as he one-upped Cam Newton's record to 4,183 through 15 games this season. Being drafted number one is not only special, but the team depends on you. Luck took full advantage of this opportunity to be the Colts starting quarterback. The amazing think that many people don't mention is that Luck did this with 2 rookie wide recievers (T.Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazil), 2 rookie tight ends (Dwyane Allen and Coby Fleener), an unproven starting wide reciever in St.Louis that signed with the Colts this offseason (Donnie Avery, who replace Austin Collie who landed on IR), and a rookie running back in Vick Ballard. Avery, Hilton, Brazil, Fleener, Allen, and Ballard all came together to help guide Andrew Luck to be a successful rookie quarterback. Luck also extended his own rookie-record the same day, as he engineered the Colts in the 4th quarter to defeat the Chiefs 20-13, and most importantly clinching a playoff berth at 10-5. Despite the fact that Luck has thrown 18 interceptions, a 54.3 completion percentage, and has posted a mediocure 75.6 quarterback rating, Luck still has all the tools and confiedence to become a star NFL quarterback. He has thrown more yards than even the elite Aaron Rodgers (3,930 yards through 15 games) and has helped Chuck Pagano's team have a huge turnaround season at 10-5, following a 2-14 record. Congragulations Andrew on accomplishing this feat.
