One of the reasons in my opinion for optimism is this new Andrew Luck. I'm not talking about his excellent play, but his leadership. I remember Luck in years past being this guy looking to hand the leadership reigns somewhere else, seemingly comfortable without the leadership responsibility. More of an "aw shucks" and "giddy" kid in a candy store.... I'm not seeing that so much. Maybe it is just maturation, but I've been seeing more of a laser focused man on a mission. He's not on the sideline yelling at Ryan Kelly telling him to just play center and snap the ball...
bet he may be getting there.
