Sorry, but that's just inaccurate:
Russell w/Payton improved in most of the categories that matter.
Completion% went from 60.5/
66.4
TDs/INTs went from 16/11 to
26/8
TDs% from 3.3/
5.8
INT% from 2.3/
1.8
Success% from 36.2/
43.3
Passer Rating from 84.4/
98.0
QBR from 38.7/
50.7
And just FYI, he did the same thing for Brees. Brees had a rocky start to his career in SD, but eventually showed his potential in year 4 of his career, followed by another decent season in year 5, though his Passer Rating, TD%, Y/A all fell off some, while his INT% rose from 1.8 to 3.0.
With Payton, well the numbers speak for themselves, but the short version is that Brees was consistently one of the most efficient QBs of all time.
