Thanks to my Pac-12-less DirecTV I can confirm for all of you that Luck gushing is the norm during Colts' games.
It goes something like this, "Today's game Luck and the Colts vs. X" Then later, "We had a chance to talk with Luck this week, and wow!". Then later, "I have to tell you this is the first time I have seen Luck play in person, and in person he is even more impressive." Then later, "It is early, but you can tell that this is going to work." Until this game the 4th quarter has been close, and then Luck really pours it on as everyone is dazzled by his command of the team, the playbook and the clock.
9 games into the season and a few things are clear. First, Luck is playing much better now than week 1. Second, the staff is willing to let Luck be Luck more now than in week 1. Third, given that week to week improvement it is not hard at all to project Luck and the Colts in the AFC playoffs. Fourth, given the "Chuck Strong" storyline the Colts have a lot of people that want Luck to do well. It must be a great time to be an Indy season ticket holder.
I still remember a few weeks ago Inside the NFL had that terminally ill cancer patient who met Luck and told him, "You're the greatest football player the Colts will ever have." It was quite the statement, and a really tearful story. And yet, after 3 years of Luck watching I actually believe it could ultimately be true.
