Luck averages more yards, less interceptions, more wins and even has a playoff win, but they're both relatively the same. He'll be paid more than Dalton when his contract comes up too.

Have you SEEN Indy's roster? Without Luck they are a 3-win team, tops.
And AJ Green is light years ahead of anyone on Indy's receiving core. And this is coming from someone who really likes T.Y. Hilton
Stats-wise they may be comparable (extrapolating Luck's to 3 years) but he's done more with much less. Cinci has a top-5 defense and Indy isn't even on the radar. It's a lot easier to have good QB play under less-stressful situations, whereas Luck has literally had to carry the team to make it relevant, let alone winning back-to-back 11-win seasons.
And that's just discussing their stats. Luck is a completely different passer to Dalton. Luck may throw the best long ball in the entire NFL (you could convince me otherwise but he's among the best)
Simply for me, I apply the "Do I want him?" test. As a Lions fan, if in some fantasy hypothetical you told me right now that I could swap Stafford with Luck or Dalton and no other pieces involved, I would swap for Luck in a millisecond. No way do I make that trade with Dalton.
