After Monday’s loss to the Jets, Colts coach Chuck Pagano had some critical remarks for his quarterback — former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck. But after some time to get over the immediate displeasure, Pagano was thanking the heavens for giving his team Luck.
"We have one hell of a quarterback. We have a great player and a great leader there,” Pagano said Tuesday, via ESPN.com. “Thank God we have the guy we have.”

Luck threw three interceptions and lost a fumble against the Jets, prompting Pagano to tee off on his team’s lack of ball security (with eight turnovers) in its first two games.
“It’s not that hard,” he said. “It’s not trigonometry.”
Luckily, starting the season 0-2 is a familiar challenge for the Colts, who overcame the same start last season and made it to the AFC Championship game. The team hopes to get on track in Week 3 against the Titans.
