So last week I essentially told you to relax and not worry too much about Andrew Luck. My thinking was that every superstar struggles at some point in the season, and it was likely that we had already seen Luck’s worst two performances of the year. Well, he wasn’t as terrible in Week 3 but it’s officially time to be concerned for the length of the season.
I’m sure the big numbers are coming eventually, so it’s difficult for me to do a complete 180 and advocate bailing on him. The big issue is that he’s turning the ball over an awful lot, with seven interceptions and a fumble on the year already. Last year, you could have lived with his high turnover rate considering the amount of touchdowns he was throwing. With just five through three games, I think it’s safe to say that this just isn’t going to be the year Luck can keep pace with Aaron Rodgers (as so many had predicted).
If you can get full value for him, great, but you’re likely stuck with him unless you’d take a low-ball offer. That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to swapping Luck for say Carson Palmer and Brandon Marshall if you need help at wide receiver. Palmer has been superb and Marshall has exceeded expectations with no signs of slowing down. This is a case of poking around your league to see what you can get for him. Just don’t take the first offer that comes your way simply because you’re frustrated.
