I think Luck will be just fine. He's not the first QB to take some lumps in his first couple seasons, and won't be the last either. Let's see how he plays when Wayne comes back opposite Hilton, and they improve that running game. Obviously Luck had overall a rough night, he did make a few throws that were terrific, in my opinion he seems like a smart kid who can grow from this seasoning and experiences bad and good in the last couple weeks.
Oh and regarding Skip Bayless, the few times I have heard the guy he sounds like an idiot in my opinion.

First, Andrew Luck had bad night. However, he still made some excellent throws, too. He does not get scared & keeps trying until final whistle. His time will come.

Second, Peyton Manning is already a Super Bowl winning QB. Through 47 Super Bowls, only 30 winning QBs exist. Very exclusive group.

Last, Skip Bayless was well-respected print journalist years ago. Now, he is fish monger one who will say anything to get noticed. Bayless still makes some excellent points from time to time. Luck and Peyton comments rate as pointless ones by him. His 'First Take' gig has made him a caricature.

They were 2-14, then drafted Luck and went 11-5 while making the playoffs in the last 2 seasons. This year, they beat KC & SF on the road and while also beating Denver & Seattle at home. You couldn't be further off base here.
And for the record, Your Joey S's top 10 QB list, sucked balls.

2-14 with literally no QB because Peyton was hurt. Anyone competent would have improved them.
As for my list 7 of the 10 in the playoffs. 4 of top 5 still playing with only Rodgers out, barley out.

He mentions Luck's 27 int's in two years but either doesn't know about or fails to mention Peyton's 28 ints in his rookie year alone. 40+ picks in his first two yrs.

Andrew Luck is certainly on his way to being regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the league, imo.
