Luck took at team who was zero wins into a perennial playoff contender all by himself. He has no running game to help him in PA situations, he has no defence. He has to drum up the team success all by himself.
While Wilson's statistics may be better, I'd still take Luck.
That is incorrect on all counts lets look at this
in 2010 Indy had 10 wins, in 2011 they had 2 wins in the suck for luck campaign, that everyone including the experts knew was about getting the #1 pick. IN other words they had a lot more talent than their record says they were playing for the #1 pick.
now you know what they did in 2012 and 2013.
But what you obviously do not know is Luck as a HOF wr, he also has another Wr in the top 10 of NFL players. HIs defense was top 10 in scoring last year hmm. His o-line was ranked top 10 in pass blocking. HIs run game avg the same ypa as Seattle's at 4.3, the difference in yards was a by product of 100 more carries. and in fact they had more rushing tds then we did. Oh and Luck plays in the AFC while Rw plays in the NFc and in the toughest division in the NFL . OH and Luck gets to play in a pass orientated offense
So lets look at this
Rw top 10 scoring defense, worse pass blocking o-line, no top Rw, very good run game, plays in the toughest division
Luck top 10 scoring defense, top 10 pass blocking o-line, top WRs, good run game, plays in one of the easiest divisions.
defense advantage Rw but its close
o-line advantage Luck Huge for luck
Wrs advantage luck Huge for luck
run game advantage Rw
competition advantage Luck Huge
Passing offense Luck huge
So Luck has advantage on Rw in 4 of the 6 areas, as I have always said Luck has more around him then people will admit, and that is because if they admit it they have to admit he is not as good as they hooped.
