We're only a few days away from the biggest game of Andrew Luck's young career.Not only is Sunday's tilt against the vaunted Denver Broncos important because the Colts will be looking to finally get over the hump and get back to an AFC Championship game, but also because it represents the first real opportunity for Luck to finally get out of the shadow of his legendary predecessor: Peyton Manning.There's no doubt that Colts fans are enamored with Luck - that is not up for dispute. The real question is: will he ever replace Peyton in their hearts? More specifically, will he ever surpass Manning on the list of all-time great NFL quarterbacks?Sure Khari Willis Jersey , Luck has been pretty successful over his first few seasons, but Colts fans will begin to get antsy if he doesn't "officially" move into the elite quarterback class fairly soon. He's only been in the league for three seasons, and has shown great improvements throughout his time in Indy - but Jim Irsay and the Colts didn't let Peyton Manning walk to draft a kid whose "improvements" they could flaunt. They want to flaunt rings, the Lombardi Trophy Josh Allen Jersey , and a Super Bowl winning quarterback. They drafted Luck because they expect him to deliver the championships that Peyton didn't (one was not enough considering the talent of the teams Manning played on), and if it doesn't happen soon, doubt will begin to creep into the equation.So the ultimate question - the one we've all been asking since the day Luck walked across the Radio City Music Hall stage in 2012 - remains: will Andrew Luck ever surpass the great Peyton Manning?
