I'm trying to come up with an explanation on how this dude is playing so terribly. A big part of me thinks he has to get better, mostly because he can't really be any worse.
I went back to look at the first 5 games of a few other HoF QBs with their new team and these quick three I chose seemed to do just fine at the start of the transition.
Brady: 12 TDs and 4 INTs
Manning: 11 TDs and 3 INTs
Favre: 13 TDs and 6 INTs
Wilson: 4 TDs and 3 INTs
I'm not going to count Rivers or Ryan because those dudes made the switch in their last year (Ryan seriously needs to hang 'em up after this). The others, including Russ, are definitely in their twilight years but they still had some juice left in the tank.
