Some people thought Manning was washed when he first came to Denver. His arm was shot. He learned how to compensate for it, though.
Favre threw 22 TD's and 22 INT's at age 39 and then went on to throw 33 TD's and 7 INT's the following year in Minnesota.
Rodgers had the two lowest 16 game TD totals of his career before he won back-to-back MVP's at age 37 and 38.
Tom Brady was considered washed numerous times over the last decade, only to have back-to-back 40 TD seasons at ages 43 and 44.

Personally I think Russel's bounce back depends more of the offensive line and Javonte regaining his health. Don't see Russell ever dropping back 50 times a game and being successful like those on the list above. Maybe wrong but I think the we have to have Russ Cook is going to lead to starvation.
