Ryan Leaf was a far worse player.
Leaf:
1998: 111-245 (45.3%), 1289 yards, 2 TD, 15 Int (39.0 Rating)
2000: 161-322 (50.0%), 1883 yards, 11 TD, 18 Int (56.2 Rating)
2001: 45-88 (51.1%), 494 yards, TD, 3 Int (57.7 Rating)
Russell:
2007: 36-66 (54.5%), 373 yards, 2 TD, 4 Int (55.9 Rating)
2008: 198-368 (53.8%), 2423 yards, 13 TD, 8 Int (77.1 Rating)
2009: 120-246 (48.8%), 1287 yards, 3 TD, 11 Int (50.0 Rating)
Russell had at least one year that was close to average as a starting quarterback; and after that season, looked like he might still develop into something. Leaf never got out of horrible.
