Does Wilson get to play with that defense his whole career? If so then him.

Luck. Wilson is really good but he benifits from that defense that won't be dominant forever. Luck is the better player. I think he'll win MVP this season.

Luck will be a more prolific QB.

If you want to know who wins more rings that may be a different question

Wilson throws passes to his defense?

Luck does more with less, and is the superior player.



I like both, and they will both have successful, long careers. However, Wilson is backed up by an all time great defense, and stud RB. Seattle is a stacked team, and he manages the team well. Luck carries his team, stats don't tell the whole story here.

So Wilsons defense has allowed him to have a higher completion %, a higher yards per completion, and 11 less ints with only 1 less TD. Interesting

Stats don't tell the story, don't be a sheep.

You are being the sheep. Since Luck came in with the hype and the media pumped him as the next manning, people have been eating that shite up even though Russell the Hustle has been unreal

If they were to switch teams;


How would Wilson do?
How would Luck do?



Think about it, let it marinate for a bit, then get back to me.

Well considering Wilson was elite with two separate college teams and has been elite so far in the NFL I would think he would continue to be. Luck would prolly continue to mouth breath and turn the ball over while throwing for alot of yards and tds

I think Luck is this group of QBs Peyton Manning, while Wilson is their Tom Brady

Which means I think Luck is the better player and will finish his career with the more impressive numbers, but Wilson may very well have a more successful career

Wilson's defense allows him to be more conservative. Thus leading to higher completion percentage.

Wilson is a stud and understands his role on the team perfectly. He isn't asked to put up gaudy stats but it seems like every time the team needs him to make a play he makes it.


It's very possible that if Wilson and Lucks' roles were reversed he would be doing equally well on the colts or even better.

This seems oddly similar to another QB debate that rages on here...one has 1 ring and the other has 3 while the QB with 1 ring has most of the other stats

The truth is no one knows

Luck has been unreal this season, and his progress/improvement every single year have been

What about the same number of TD passes with 300 less attempts? Does his defense help him with that too

I'd like to see a breakdown of Luck's stats by quarter. It seems like he has really struggled over the years in qtrs 1-3 but gets on another level in the 4th. Maybe I am wrong tho.
