Andrew Luck, Colts – 90
OK I’m just going to say it. Andrew Luck is a little overrated, not only in Madden 18, but just in general. Luck came into the league with a ton of deserved hype, as the successor to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis. He’s been very good when healthy, but a lack of support has kept him on the injury report way too often than Colts fans would like (which is zero time of course). Luck was sacked an incredible 47 times last season which obviously makes it difficult for him to get done what needs to get done. Yet, he still gets treated like it’s a given he’s going to take up the mantle of “the next Tom Brady/Peyton Manning” and obviously have an incredibly successful career. Listen everyone, he was drafted in 2012, and still has less AFC Championship appearances than Mark Sanchez. The honeymoon is over, it’s time for Luck do actually start doing something. That said, we fully admit that it’s probably due to a lack of support around him, rather than a lack of talent, but results are results.
Because of his injuries, he usually misses out on truly leading the league in categories that would earn him his 90 rating. Hell, because Wilson at least has won a Super Bowl, an argument can be made that he gets a little ratings bump from that, Luck can only claim that one AFC Championship visit. Like Wilson, Luck is another QB that is very good, but in his case, we’d like to see him stay upright, and accomplish a little more before just handing him the title of 6th best QB in the league and a 90 overall. If the Colts management actually put some support around him, he could easily earn that and then some.
