Rookie QB Andrew Luck hopeful Indianapolis Colts to bounce back strongly – NFL News
Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck is hopeful of the team's progress to the playoffs and beyond and discarded an impression they are through a phase of transition.
Although the expectations from owner Jim Irsay and other members of the organisation are not higher, Luck said there are some veterans who want to quench their past season’s thirst, and making it to the playoffs and even beyond is certainly going to be a
target in front of them.
According to the rookie:
"I don't think anybody is viewing it as a rebuilding season. There are great players on this team. Guys that have made the playoffs for X amount of years in a row, and then maybe missed out last year, so I know they are hungry. I just hope that I can help
them achieve that goal."
Andrew who has so far given a little impression of being a rookie has offered to help them to an extent he can, sounding to be a veteran leader. The QB has distinct qualities of prompt decision making and calling right plays, and can certainly prove helpful
to the players on the offensive line.
The particular strength that can benefit others is that Andrew likes to note mistakes of players around him and talk to them to rectify the errors, a rare leadership skill of a player who has just hit the pro league career.
It is probably maturity of the player that he has managed well to avoid getting into comparison with his predecessor Peyton Manning, who has left behind a legacy at Colts, but instead has different targets and planning for him.
While coming on top in the draft, the rookie has a lot of confidence into his abilities and to an extent has proved them during recently finished preseason campaign. He still remains aware to the need of more experience and is willing to seek the coach’s
help in the overall workout scheme.
The Colts have so far not spoken of any target on their mind this season but reaching playoffs will be a remarkable turnaround for the team who had a miserable (2-14) season a year earlier. Any improvement from the past season’s poor showing should also
be a welcome development for the team.
