You don't take a guy like luck and have him run the read option. Where Arians screwed up is by having hardly any checkdowns available. Very few screens and such. When he did call the rare TE screen, it worked very well.
Arians wanted to chuck it downfield every play even though the offensive line was horrible and nobody cared about playaction.
You say you love good qb play but call Luck mediocre this year? That is reeruned. You point to his completion percentage and say he was mediocre. What you don't look at is the other qb's in Arians system. It does not do the qb's any favors historically. How many times did RG3 throw screen passes? You put him or Wilson in Arians scheme and their production falls a good amount.
Also do you know how many drops the Colts had this year? I believe Avery and Hilton were 2 of the worst in the league. You can check that but you don't need to. It is accurate.
Packers, Lions, and Dolphins. Go watch Luck in those games and tell me he didn't pass the eyeball test as much as Wilson.
I am arguing for Luck. Not against Wilson. I really like that kid
