Player	Games	Attempts	Completions	Percentage	Yards	Yards/Attempt	TD	INT	Ratings	Att/Game	Yards per game
Luck	12	373	261	70.0	3170	8.5	35	9	167.49	31.1	264.2
Griffin III	12	369	267	72.4	3998	10.8	36	6	192.31	30.8	333.2

If the numbers were reversed and Luck had Griffin's numbers instead of the other way around, I would, reluctantly, cast my vote for Luck.

That was a very civil post!  Thank you.
The problem with the statistical comparisons is that they only can capture a portion of what a quarterback is asked to do and the material/opportunity he has to do it.

A large measure of Stanford's success as a team this year has been due to Luck's ability to read and recognize defenses and call plays at the line.  Quite often he will call a running play at exactly the right time for the good of the team that actually works out to be to the detriment of his stats.  How do you measure playcalling in a statistical line?  Do you give Luck credit for a lot of the yards earned by our running backs? 

Luck is the first college quarterback in living memory who controls the game so effectively with his playcalling.  How do you measure that?  The answer is:  you can't.  Which is why statistical comparisons can only go so far.
