Way too many turnovers. He may improve but not now
Reasonable opinion can differ. I think TB12 would throw 15-20 picks if he was trying to carry that crappy team. Whether Luck could play within himself if he had talent around him is an open question.

I think Luck is elite when he's healthy. It's not his fault his team sucks donkey balls.
I don't think so, he's a turnover machine. Too much Favre in him. Big Ben is that 3rd guy imo, but he's a level below.

Brady has never thrown more than 14 picks in a season despite 2006 and 2013 levels of talent

Packers coaching worries me.
They were up double digits after the first quarter, yet somehow only called 8 running plays (including a WR end around) after that point.

What is happening in Seattle is true to form. Teams coming off SB losses don't tend to fare very well. Also shows how hard it is to sustain any kind of run in the NFL.

They are not in a killer division. Arizona and St. Louis are very up and down.

Also, elite =/= in the GOAT discussion. I agree we have only two of those (plus Manning, who obviously is nowhere near the form that landed him in that discussion).
Drew Brees is still decent and is a top 10 QB of all time.

Denver may be able to stop this iteration of Green Bay.  Without Nelson, Adams, Montgomery and Lacy Green Bay is having trouble against SD's pass rush.

This is the third week in a row Rodgers has looked mortal.
 
I was just about to say the same. They're likely to win here, but he hasn't been Super Shredder the past 3 weeks.

I mean, a below average game by his standards is a very good performance by pretty much anyone else, but there are times you watch him play and wonder how could an offense ever punt with him on the field. Hasn't been that guy.

Right, and he's been at home twice against .500-level teams and in San Fran the other week. I wonder if something's shown up in the tapes.

I wish Rivers played in a bigger market. His craziness doesn't get enough attention. Remember when he was on the sideline screamed by at Cutler? Imagine if Eli did that awesome type of stuff

There should be a rule that allows the offense to choose to let the clock run after a defensive penalty here.
