Here are the rookie QB records that Russell Wilson has a shot at breaking this year (including where Luck, RGIII stand)...

Most Passing Touchdowns, Rookie, Season:
26, Peyton Manning, 1998
*Currently*
25, Russell Wilson
21, Luck
20, RGIII

Best touchdown pass–interception differential, rookie, season:
14 (20–6) Dan Marino, 1983
*Currently*
15 (25-10) Russell Wilson
15 (20-5) RGIII
3 (21-18) Luck

Highest passer rating, rookie, season:
98.1, Ben Roethlisberger, 2004
*Currently*
104.1, RGIII
98.0, Russell Wilson - can break the current record, but RGIII looks like he'll get this one.
75.6, Luck

Most wins in a season, regular season and post-season, by a rookie starting quarterback:
15, Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers, 2004
*Currently*
10, Russell Wilson - (winning out, including the Super Bowl would tie the record)
10, Luck - (see above)
9, RGIII - (can't get record)

Most wins in a post-season, by a rookie starting quarterback:
2, Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens, 2008; Mark Sanchez, New York Jets, 2009
*Currently*
0, obviously

There might be others in that list that I didn't see. I pretty much only looked at rookie records. If anyone wants to go through and post any all-time records that aren't "rookie-only" records that our boy Russell Wilson could get, I won't hate you for it. :th2thumbs:

It's kind of amazing that RW started getting mention along with RG3 and Luck just halfway through the season. Heading into the last game of the season, he's now on a level to be compared with every rookie QB to ever play in the NFL. Wow.
