Luck is the better player, end of story. There's a reason he was the #1 overall pick so comparing him to RW is essentially irrelevant.
I disagree. They are in completely different situations.
The colts are in a horrible division, in a bad conference, and have no expectations.
Has Luck looked good? Absolutely, but to say he a better QB and there is no room for discussion is laughable.
Look at Cam Newton, last year he was the next coming, this year I bet the Panthers had that pick back.
There are obvious differences in character I understand. But the point is you can't judge the career tragectory after 6 or 7 games. If you could Rick Mirer would be in the Hall of Fame and the Seahawks would have 3 Super Bowls right now.
Does Luck have more yards, Yes, but works in a different offensive system. He throws the ball 42 times a game on average. RW throws in on average 25.
The Seahawks are developing RW and protecting him, because they have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs.
Here are some stats thru the first 7 weeks. Again I am not saying the RW is better, only that there could be a conversation.
Completion %
QB A- 53%
QB B- 59%
Yards per completion
A- 12.5
B- 11.5
Touchdowns per game
A- 1.1
B- 1.1
Interceptions per game
A- 1.1
B- 1.0
They look pretty similar to me
