I didn\'t think Luck showed anything special for the NFL scouts. It was a great performance to be certain, but he\'s not going to be scrambling like that against NFL defenses, and he rarely took shots downfield tonight. The great majority of his throws were targeted within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, and on his deep throws I would say he missed on more than he hit - the Whalen shot downfield 1-1 that was underthrown, the Reuland flag play that he plain missed, and a Baldwin post that was completed but required the receiver to go to ground rather than stay on his feet and gain more yardage.
Perhaps we\'re not taking the downfield shots as often this year because we simply don\'t need to, or maybe Owusu still is not up to 100%, but I\'ve seen fewer truly impressive Andrew Luck bombs this year than last. Those perfectly lofted fly routes that fall into the arms of a streaking receiver or the 20 yard flag lasers have been less frequent this year and seem less frequently completed when attempted.
Also, when is Loukas gonna attempt a pass? Again we had to burn a timeout when he couldn\'t get a play off. Really concerned what would happen to our offense if Luck were to miss any appreciable time.
