Bruce Arians touts Andrew Luck as best QB he's ever coached

Yep, it's Andrew Luck, not Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger. Now, to be fair, he did coach a mid-40s Brady. Still, he was able to lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl in 2020. In 2021, Arians' final year in Tampa Bay, Brady finished second in the MVP voting. Despite his age, Brady was clearly still playing at a high level. 

As for Luck, Arians spent just one season with the Indianapolis Colts as their offensive coordinator. That also happened to be Luck's rookie year, when the quarterback finished second in the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year voting and made the Pro Bowl.

That was all despite him throwing 18 interceptions, which was tied for third-most in the 2012 NFL season. Some of Roethlisberger's seasons came without Arians, so it's not too surprising that the coach opted for Luck over the Steelers future Hall of Famer. In five years with Arians, No. 7 did make two Pro Bowls. The former OC also helped Roethlisberger cut down his interceptions a significant amount, throwing just 57 of them in the five-year stretch.

Arians retired just last year, which took place just after Brady's announced retirement. He had quite the coaching career, bouncing around the league quite a bit. After being an OC with the Steelers and Colts, he finally got his shot as a head coach. Arians spent a combined eight years as a head coach between the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No hard feelings from Arians in regards to Roethlisberger, though, as he praised everyone throughout the episode.
