While Luck is older, it doesn't mean they won't have 10 years to cultivate a rivalry. Luck is as close to Manning in temperament that you can get right now. He is a "gee golly gosh" kind of person that absolutely loves football. He will never embarrass the Colts, the NFL, or himself. If he weren't uglier than Eli he would be on every ad possible.

I think the NFL has had a lot of those golly gosh qbs. Mayfield is so different from anything we've seen in a while. Jury's still out on if he can maintain success. But if he's any good, this will be a hell of a rivalry because the two cities have such similar sensibilities and because their leaders are cocky as hell. Mahomes may be polite but he has his own version of cocky. Luck mahomes may be the more interesting game. But once Mayfield and mahomes both have the swagger and firepower to compete against each other, it's going to be fun as hell to see what develops.
