Luck might do the same. He'll be without his coach (Harbaugh) next season. This will be a great test to see what he's really made of.
I don't understand how people put so much value on a QB whose college career is not even complete.

Exactly. He could also blow out a knee or shoulder that could set him back a year or two.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is they see a college player like Luck on tape do incredible things and think it will automatically transfer to the NFL. Yesterday I watched a very informative episode of ESPN's 'College Football Live' and they did a very good segment on the top college QB's. Besides being amazed at the quantity and quality of the top college Qb's, there are many. What really was eye opening was the highlights of these top Qb's and seeing them run over players that will never be good enough to play in the NFL. Especially Luck's highlights against some really undersized and lacking in ability PAC 10 players. The bottom of the PAc 10 is not very talented.
