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.

Lockers potential was almost always based on his physical gifts and intangibles. Not his production. Keep in mind Luck completed 70% of his passes in a pro style offense. He will probably be one of the 10 best running QB's in the league as well.
The year before fine, the production wasn't all that different from Lockers. However when Gerhart left and Luck was given control of the offense he shined. His numbers are extremely impressive and combined with his physical attributes and intangibles theres little doubt why he's the highest rated player to come along in about 10 years.
You're dreaming if you can envision a scenario where Luck isn't the top pick next year.
