Some of these arguments in here would contend he wasn't that great.

The NFL and even the college game has dramatically changed since Peyton Manning was a rookie. The comparisons are absurd. Luck had a good rookie year but he wasn't sensational despite what you're trying to make us believe.
He won a ton of games on the final drive. So did Tebow in 2011. He was often mediocre and their 11 wins were a complete aberration.
Luck may very well end up being the best QB ever...he certainly has all the talent.
But he simply was no Russell Wilson this year...especially down the stretch.
