Quote:Yes, Luck has thrown more because that's the team's strength. What does that tell you about RW? Marshawn Lynch is their offensive focus.

 

Let's look at RW's numbers by themselves. Again, he's only thrown for 978 yards in 5 games. He's averaging less than 200 yards per game. Never mind how that compares to Luck's numbers. Is that what you want from the "best young QB" in the league? 

 

Wilson's success so far is fairly easy to define. The Seahawks have one of the best run games in the league, without including RW's rushing stats. He's had the best defense in the league, and they're still a very good defense this year. And their special team's is one of the best.

 

Why have the Colts won so much? 11-5 both of Luck's first 2 years with NO running game, one of the worst O-lines in the league the past two years, and a defense that's ranked in the bottom third the past two year's. Is it because Andrew Luck has contributed significantly to those wins? An easy schedule?--with wins against the Packers, Lions, Chiefs, Texans (AFC South Champs in 2012) Vikings, Forty Niners, Broncos, Seahawks, and Ravens.

RW has a stronger arm than Manning and throws a nicer ball. You and I know that arm strength and a pretty spiral doesn't mean much. Look at Gabbert as a perfect example.

 

Quote:With that said this year bis OLine isnt terrible, Bradshaw can run, and tne defense is good enough to be termed good. He needs to make noise in the playoffs now.

Yes, and what has that translated to?  Luck is #1 in passing yards, fist downs, and TDs. What Colts fans have been saying since he entered the league is that he is very special and given a good team, like Wilson, he will easily separate himself. We can't deny that now since he is leading the league in these categories and has the same passer rating as RW, 99.7.

 

Quote:Just because he doesn't have to throw that much doesn't mean that he wouldn't be able to successfully.


RW throws for more YPA than luck and completes more of his passes. Yeah, they have the better overall team but if you put luck on the colts and he had to throw the ball more, he would be putting up better numbers than luck, in my opinion.


He already won a Superbowl in his second year and he seems to get better every single game he plays.


Luck looks pretty much the same every game.

A. You can't prove that Wilson will be just as successful throwing as much as luck since he's never done it.

B. If RW does throw as much as Luck, then defensive game plans will drastically change. His success would absolutely decrease throwing as much as Luck, and most football fans would agree.

 

He throws for more YPA than Luck. Per Greg Cossell, the Seahawks offense is based on deception, more than any other offense in the league. This is done to compensate for RW's play style, allowing for easier passes. If you have watched the Seahawks, he throws the ball in opportune moments. This translates to easier passes and a higher YPA. If you look at RGIII's stats when he ran an offense based on misdirection, his YPA was very high too. But when asked to throw from the pocket as a traditional drop back passer, he was poor. RW is a better passer than RGIII, but the same would happen if asked to play in the Colt's offense.

 

Luck looks the same every game- His completion percentage has gone from 54% to 60% to 66% this year. He's gotten better every year in this regard. As mentioned earlier, so far he's leading the league in passing yards and TDS, and first downs. He's clearly improving and not recognizing that is intellectually dishonest.
