Here's the difference between the two QBs: Griffin is the leader of this offense. Everything runs through him and depends on him. Wilson is more of, to use the overused term, a game manager.
Take a look at these game performances and tell be Wilson is the key to their offensive success:
@ 25 /33 320 yds 75.8%
CAR
vs 8 /19 142 yds 42.1%
SF
vs 14 /21 202 yds 66.7%
JAC
@ 12 /23 123 yds 52.2%
HOU
@ 15 /31 210 yds 48.4%
IND
vs 23 /31 257 yds 74.2%
TEN
@ 18 /29 235 yds 62.1%

He seems to be a Jay Cutler-like QB who will have a good game or a bad game, nothing in between. His team is carrying him. He's really only had 2 solid games passing the ball this year. When your QB can pass below 50% and for less than 150 yards almost every other game and you're still winning, you know you have a solid team around that QB.
His defense scores a lot and they usually play with the lead, so they can run the ball all game long. If he had to try to come back every week with his arm, I don't think he'd have as much success.

See...this is a classic case of looking at everything with your RG3 glasses on....lol.
