That's not a lot, but you also have to add in rushing production (556 yards and 4 TDs in the games he started at QB = 1250 yards and 9 TDs over a whole season).
Total would be ~4000 total yards, 23 TDs, 7 INT.
If he can maintain that level of passing and rushing combined, that's a decent starting QB. Similar to Kaepernick in his best years in SF or RG3's first couple years in DC.
He "started" 7 games. But he played in all but 4. So his projection is not just a linear growth assumption. For example he passed 4 times in week 1 but didn't start... And he started week 17 and passed 16 times... So he didn't start but threw 25% of a game's worth of pass numbers. He also had a TD week 7 and 8 but didn't start, which further inflate your numbers.
I was going off his actual 2018 season numbers.
