Again, any time we try to use Luck in these conversations, we look irrational.

Peyton Manning wasn't the "best pure prospect" people think. Questions about his ability to win the big games, arm strength, mobility, etc. Roughly half the league thought Leaf was the better prospect.
The last time that anyone got the amount of hype that Luck did last year was with Elway.
And to say that Geno wouldn't have had success in a pro style set like Stanford ran with three NFL level linemen protecting him as well as a top 20 defense covering his ass is, redundantly, assinine.
Geno played in a pro-style set in 2010 as a sophomore and put up excellent numbers.
You are seriously giving Geno the Warren Moon treatment right now and that's a little embarassing in this day and age.
