Russ is faster, more accurate, better at extending the play, better at making big plays, and better in the clutch anyway. They're really only similar in the fact that they're not asked to do a ton and prefer efficiency over gaudy stats.

Indeed he would make a fine QB, and I'm certainly not arguing that Russell isn't a fine QB.
But for two #1's I want a Roethlisberger/Luck clone, a top arm with the kind of size that he doesn't really have to run around too much, he can just stand in under the pressure 75% of the time and still deliver.
And I wouldn't say Wilson is all that much more accurate than Smith, Wilson is more accurate on deeper throws but he tossed 63% last year to Smiths 65% with me, you and Inmem at receiver.
So the accuracy argument is pretty arguable.
