I'm arguing against Captain Insano Hootie who's basing his whole argument on Wilson's great 2nd half against the Greg Robinson Falcons' secondary, while bashing Luck because he had a bad game against the Chiefs (and like so many of Luck's games, still found a way to win it in the end).... while turning around and accusing everyone else of not having watched these guys actually play.

I watch a LOT of football and I am absolutely FASCINATED by good QB play.
Andrew Luck was inconsistent and mediocre. That's expected. He was a rookie.
Russell Wilson, after the 49ers game where he threw 3 picks, was flat out FANTASTIC and played the QB position in HIS offense as good as anyone else in the NFL including Peyton Manning and Tom Brady for 2 straight months. He also brought his team back down from 2 scores TWICE in the postseason (as a rookie) and had one of the greatest postseason performances by a QB in recent memory (as a rookie).
I'm sorry.
The Luck was better in 2012 than Wilson is invalid and untrue.
And Wilson and RGIII aren't comparable. Wilson is a pocket QB who runs a pro style offense with a READ OPTION as part of their running game. He's not a gimmick.
He has a 6th sense in the pocket and his escapability and the way he extends plays is something that can't be taught and something only a few NFL QB's have EVER had.
I'd take Wilson over Luck in 2012 and beyond. I do understand that is the minority opinion for beyond. I don't understand how 32 teams passed on him two times while scouts and "experts" were saying he had top 5 pick talent if he was 3 inches taller (ridiculous).
I hate that he's not a Chief. I hate Scott Pioli.
