Agreed... I think he did that, but it's just an opinion.
Luck didn't have as many weapons, which I think is showcased by the fact that he threw 627 passes - compared to Wilson and RGIII who each threw only 393 passes.
Luck threw 234 more passes which will bump up the INTS and the incompletions.
Luck - 4,374 yds / 23 td / 18 int / 62 rush for 255 yds & 5 TD
RGIII - 3,200 yds / 20 td / 5 int / 120 rush for 815 yds & 7 TD
Wilson - 3,118 yds / 26 td / 10 int / 94 rush for 459 yds & 4 TD
Again, they're not playing in similar offenses (aside from Wilson and RGIII). Luck has over 1k more yards thanks to those 200+ more pass attempts and more INTs. One could argue that his passing TDs should be higher and that's a valid argument.
I'm not suggesting that Luck should get it - I don't think he will or that he deserves it, but he's in the conversation and he is far from just 'not sucking' as a rookie.
These 3 guys as well as a few others give the NFL hope for another decade plus of great QB play.
