That's part of it. The other part is that Andrew Luck's otherworldly gifts got us accustomed to succeeding on offense with iffy wide receivers. The third part is that Nunes plays a terribly unaesthetic game: his failures look really awful and his successes look labored. (case in point: his old-man-at-the-pickup-game scrambling style, which never looks like it's going to be successful...until, boom, he's made a first down. Well, except for the fumble on Saturday.)
