Undoubtedly regardless he never had adequate help.

They were certainly playing catch up most of the time, and he may have looked better due to the era, but in 1983 (his best season), he was #2 in passing yards (272 yds/game), 112 yards behind Lynn Dickey, but had 11 fewer INTs. He never matched those numbers again, and I don't think he ever played a full season due to injury. He had some are talent, especially the deep ball.
