If you put together Teddy's 2019 season with the Saints and his first 10 games with the Panthers (he was playing through a knee injury after that) his numbers would be:
Games played: 15
Completions: 371
Attempts: 526
Comp%: 70.4
Yards: 3936
Yards Per Attempt: 7.4
Touchdowns: 24
Interceptions: 13
Passer Rating: 96.95
That's not setting the world on fire but when you consider our how bad our QB play was last year, it's a MAJOR upgrade.
2020 Broncos QB's:
Completions: 317
Attempts: 556
Comp%: 57
Yards: 3673
Yards Per Attempt: 6.6
Touchdowns: 21
Interceptions: 23
Passer Rating: 72.5

You can't make projections like that based off of 2 seasons with 2 different teams that were not even the Broncos. The variables are not the same. If he had been with the Broncos the last 3 years, okay, maybe you might have a valid argument. But he hasn't.
He had a career year (albeit abreviated) with the Saints in 2019 starting in place of Brees. Then again, the Saints were a MUCH better team that year than the Broncos currently are now. You have a lot of young pieces (at WR & TE) that haven't figured out the NFL game yet. Nor have they had a ton of time with Teddy B. Your O-Line is still a BIG question mark.
Your QB is a career 66% passer with a TD-INT ratio of 53-36.
2021 Season for Teddy B. 18TD's, 12 INT's, 67% completion %, 3700 yards.
Go ahead and write that down. Those will be his #'s for the year (and I think I'm actually being a little generous). That is assuming he gets to start the whole year and doesn't get injured or lose his job to Lock at some point.
Is that better than your 2020 QB's? Yeah. But enough to really move the needle much?
He might take you from a 5 win team to a 7 win team. So you've got that going for you, I guess.
