Yeah but he didn't just do it on game winning drives. He threw for more yards than any rookie QB, ever. He threw for more 300 yard games than any rookie ever. In fact he had 6, I believe the previous record was 4 by Manning. Russell Wilson did not have a single 300 yard game in the regular season. He averaged less yards passing/game than Matt Cassel.
The game has changed but that doesn't mean what Luck did isn't amazing. Even Tannehill finished with more INT than TD. Rookie QB's asked to run a pass first offense usually don't do what Luck did. Stafford completed 53% of his passes his rookie year. Peyton completed 56%. Eli 48%. People shouldn't be holding his completion percentage against him.
