I'll take Luck I guess, but Wilson is right there with him.
Colts:
2011: 2-14
2012: 11-5
Seahawks:
2011: 7-9
2012: 11-5
Redskins:
2011: 5-11
2012: 10-6
That is the order I would put them in. Redskins and Seahawks both have vastly superior lineups compared to the Colts, and yet Luck was able to get them to 11-5 and a playoff birth. All three are great talents, but RG3 is not nearly a good a passer as Wilson or Luck. He is a vastly superior weapon when healthy, but that is going to go by the way side within 3-4 years max (if not immediately following his return from injury). You can't run a quarterback of his size in the NFL 10 times a game expect him to survive the season. Just too many 250lb LBs and 330lb lineman.
Not taking anything away from him but Luck played a shitty schedule. They beat GB early when they sucked. Beat Texans late when they sucked. Their other wins are Clev, TEN (x2), Mia, Jax, Buf, Det, KC.
I hate to play the homer but RG3 was 2nd in the NFL in passer rating. He set an all-time rookie record for passer rating. He threw 5 picks all year as a rookie. The skins did not throw the ball much, granted, because they ran the ball so well. But dont mistake that for Griffin being unable to become a passer. I take him because of whats between the ears. The other guys are good too.

I'll be actually impressed if that interception ratio stays as low when he isn't in a one read offense. It is common knowledge that Shanny had him trained to run if his first read was covered.
Andrew Luck played a ridiculously weak schedule and had an enormous of luck. Colts will regress next year, even if he improves.
Not saying Luck isn't good - he clearly is - but the Colt's W/L record doesn't mean much.
Indy could easily be pretty nasty last year. Real young team, smart GM, and Luck figures to just keep getting better. Plus Tennessee and Jacksonville are good and terrible
