I think it should be a Co-MVP.
RGIII has made the Redskins relevant and he has created his own brand. However, last year the Redskins still had a shot at the playoffs late into the year
Luck has taken a team with arguably no head coach (although a GREAT story) a team that won 2 games the prior year and revamped their most of their roster into the Play-Offs. As noted before, without a running game.
Knowing what you know now, would you still draft the same player? I can't see Indy passing ( pardon the pun) on Luck nor the Skins passing on Luck if the Colts took RG3. Of course, Russell Wilson would probably go higher as would Cousins.
Either one deserves it so I hope they both share it.
And also don't forget that the Colts O-line is practically a train wreck and the defense has done them zero favors as well.
Luck got sacked 41 times, 4th most in the NFL, and it's not like he is an immovable object who can't scramble, guy has 255 rushing yards on 62 attempts this year and five running TDs. That's the 8th most rushing yards, just four behind Rodgers for 7th. He's no RG3, Newton, Wilson, or Kaepernick when he runs the ball, but he's not some slow footed non-"athlete" like Brady either. I don't really understand ESPN's QBR, but Luck has the third best QBR on running plays, sitting behind only Newton (#1) and Wilson (#2).
Colts only team in the playoffs with a negative point differential and 10 non-playoff teams allowed fewer points than the Colts. This is the same team that gave up 41 to the Bears, 35 to the Jets, and 59 to the Patriots and only 14 of the points they gave up to those three teams came off special teams or defensive return TDs.
