The Andrew Luck era started off with a bang in 2012 as the rookie signal caller led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth. Despite being saddled with a leaky offensive line, no proven starting running back, a pair of rookies at tight end and a pile of question marks at wide receiver behind Reggie Wayne, Luck set an NFL rookie record by throwing for 4,374 yards and 23 touchdown passes. He also displayed plenty of mobility, rushing for 255 yards and five touchdowns. If there was any knock on Luck's performance, it was his 54.1 percent completion rate, which could be at least partially explained by former offensive coordinator Bruce Arian's downfield passing attack. Look for that to improve with the Colts’ employing Pep Hamilton's version of the West Coast offense. With improved weapons out of the backfield and young receiving options Dwayne Allen, Coby Fleener and T.Y. Hilton having a year of experience under their belt, Luck should be a more efficient quarterback in 2013, cutting back on his turnovers (18 interceptions and five fumbles last season) and extending drives. Consider him a lower-tier QB1 with plenty of upside.
Comment: The Colts ran a lot of seven-step drops and deep throws for Andrew Luck last season under Bruce Arians, which resulted in a low completion rate (54.1%) for the rookie QB. More efficiency with three- and five-step drops are expected which may lead to slightly less passing stats but he still qualifies as a low-end QB1.
