What a luxury to have that running game, defense and pretty decent receiving corp (especially that tight end.) I guess advance stats show that Wilson's OLine is not any better than Luck's and his receiving corp in 2013 was average (ADB aside, of course), but everything else on that team is just awesome. That GM has built an amazing roster.
I would do the same, but are there one, two, or three players on the Seahawks roster that you would trade Luck to get? Doubt it. Luck is a top tier NFL QB, Wilson is the next tier down but the dropoff isn't that brobdingnagian. OTOH, the dropoff from a LOT of the Seahawks roster to the Colts roster is going from top tier or second tier to bottom tier. Marshawn Lynch vs. Trent Richardson is one of many examples.
Irsay has done an AWFUL job of building a talented roster around Luck, and in spite of that they've still made the playoffs the last two years.
