Lynch only averaged 4.7 YPC (which is just a bit better than league average) last year but the Seahawks COMFORTABLY led the league in YPC at 5.3. Russell damn near added 1,000 rushing yards by himself.
Wilson also hasn't had the receiving options or number of attempts Luck has.
You could argue Luck is asked to do more but I argue he's been given more chances to do more.

Well, yeah he's been given more chances, it gives them the better chance to win with luck throwing it like that.
You're kind of furthering the argument against it with the defense and lynch, plus Wilson's running ability.
For 2 first rounders and that salary, youve gotta win from the pocket and make guys around you that much better.
So far, we haven't seen wilson do that consistently, save for lynch and the running game. That's great and it'd a skill, but it's also a risk.
