Would you consider Wilson to be a qb like Manning, Brady, and Brees or a qb like Vick, Newton, and RG3?
For reference:

I think he is a pocket guy that can run, others think he is run first. As a fan of a team that watches him every day, what is he?
RW reminds me on none of those guys. With all respect to your question OP, Better examples could be used. OTOH, perhaps you're wanting to compare him only to active QBs (?).
He's smarter with the ball than Griffin
I see almost zero similarities between he, Brady, Manning and / or even Newton, though Newton is clearly trying to emulate Wilson these days.
He is a far better thrower than Vick ever was and certainly not as reckless (see RG3)
That leaves Brees but RW doesn't have the *pocket awareness Brees has, though he is more dangerous with his legs
* This isn't a knock on RW. Brees has been around for quite a bit longer and gets better protection as well.
I think it is very difficult to categorize Wilson at this stage considering he deals with a different O-line almost weekly and perhaps to a lesser extent, the same can be said about his TEs and WRs.
I can only picture what Wilson would be with a bevy of weapons and more consistent line play. The picture that keeps popping up for me is Steve Young. Under those conditions, I can't think of a better comparison than Steve Young.
