5 Reasons Andrew Luck Will Become An Elite Superstar In 2015

Andrew Luck is without question one of the best quarterbacks in the game, and he has earned the superstar title from quite a few people. While that is a fact, there are still some that have yet to put him in the elite group of quarterbacks due to a few issues that he still has to fix. Those issues will be a thing of the past following the 2015 season. What five reasons can be given to prove that?

As simple as this point may seem, it is a very valid point and will be noticeable during the upcoming season. Andrew Luck has already proved himself to be a star, but experience is something that every single player in the NFL can benefit from. Heading into his fourth season, he is primed to explode and put everything together now that he has the experience under his belt.

The Indianapolis Colts have had one of the deadliest offenses in the NFL, but one thing that Andrew Luck has never had is a legitimate ground game. Signing Frank Gore this past offseason is going to be a big help to him, and it will force defenses to respect the rushing game. Luck is going to have quite a few more openings for big plays with defenses not being able to sell out against the pass.

Perhaps the biggest issue that Andrew Luck has had to this point in his career has been forcing passes and always trying to make a play. That has been part of what has made him so good, but it has also been the biggest reason for his turnover issues. He threw 16 interceptions last season, but those numbers will see a decrease with improved decisions during the 2015 season.

Just when the NFL thought they had seen one of the best passing offenses in recent NFL history, the Colts went out and improved Andrew Luck's wide receiving corps. Andre Johnson was signed to replace the aging Reggie Wayne, while Duron Carter and Phillip Dorsett will also be nice depth pieces. T.Y. Hilton is a budding star himself, while Donte Moncrief will be an even bigger threat in his second NFL season.

Consistency is the most important aspect of being an elite superstar, and Andrew Luck will have a chance to prove that he can do just that in 2015. He has already had three very good seasons, but his big breakout year was in 2014. If he is able to put up the same type of numbers or potentially even bigger numbers, he will join the elite group of superstar quarterbacks and no one could continue their skepticism.
