(Did you mean 66% rather than 56% - 56 would be awful...)
In any case, I probably wouldn't quantify the value of the trade based on just one season. Taken by itself, a 3500 yard/25 TD season would be 'okay'. Better than we're used to, and most likely enough for a fat extension, but basically just middle-of-the-pack in today's NFL.
Thinking longer-term, if that ends up being his average over 4 or 5 years at the helm of what is almost certainly intended be a pass-heavy offense, then I'd be disappointed. I think he needs to be significantly better than that over the long haul, in the 4000 yard/30 TD range at minimum. Less than that, and it probably means he hasn't produced to the level they want, and we've been forced to go ball control to hide his limitations. I hope it doesn't go that route.
But the value of the trade, that's going to be really difficult to ascertain for a few years, unless he either blows the doors off and has a huge year or flames out biblically and gets shitcanned.
