Quote:Not even close... Wilson is working with a much better roster than Luck. Wilson is being asked to not lose the game while the Colts are asking Luck to win it.


Wilson has had some bad games and they still win. That's not the case for Luck.

 

This is a comment I simply don't understand, if you think Russell Wilson is simply managing games then you clearly don't watch the Seahawks play much. There have been multiple games this year where the Seahawks were not able to run the ball effectively, Marshawn Lynch has had 5 games where he has ran for 2.5 YPC, 3.5 YPC, 3.7 YPC, 2.9 YPC, and 3.2 YPC, Russell Wilson (in those games) was the primary reason that offense was scoring points.


 


Russell Wilson plays 6 games a year against 3 of the toughest defenses (San Francisco, St. Louis, & Arizona) in all of football, and while the Seahawks are a talented team, he has been the key for that teams success over the past year and a half. Wilson's stats 2362 yds 8.4 YPA
64% CP 19 TD's 6 ints compared to Lucks 2430 yds 59.4% CP 7.0 YPA 14 TD's 6 ints
are much better, and considering he doesn't have a dynamic downfield threat in T.Y. Hilton, a hall of fame WR in Reggie Wayne (before the ACL injury), or even a Coby Fleener makes it more impressive, if Wilson's defense wasn't good his numbers would be through the roof, there have been multiple games this year where the Seahawks literally shut it down after half time because they were annihilating their opponents.


 


So I'm standing by my original point, Russell Wilson (at this stage in his career) is a better player than Andrew Luck and doesn't get the respect from fans and the media, that's not a slight against Luck because he is good, but Wilson is a more accurate, consistent, dynamic QB that is raising the level of play from the likes of Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, and the rest of Seattle's underwhelming weapons, Russell Wilson is going to put up video game stats once Percy Harvin is fully integrated into that offense.
