7. With teams such as San Francisco & Seattle

They run the ball a lot more but for Wilson to match Luck in yardage with the same number of pass attempts he'd just need about 4 yards per attempt. His YPA comes out to 4,700 if he had the same number but generally the more passes a QB attempts it drops which makes Manning's YPA mark even more impressive since he also leads the league in pass attempts. But the reason why they have fewer yards and TDs is because the teams run more often.

Patrick Peterson said that Russell Wilson is the toughest scrambling QB to defend because he isn't looking to run you notice in highlights he often throws before he comes to the line of scrimmage.

It is easy to compare Newton to Luck with Passing. Newton gained 4,051 yards off of 517 attempts his first year. Luck had 570 attempts this season and gained about 3,800. I know his YPA was about 6.98 last season. Newton has a career average of 7.66
