That's not how stats translate...sorry.
Oh, please tell me how they should translate.

Should Joe Namath's touchdowns automatically go up, interceptions automatically go down, completion percentage automatically go up (dramatically) and winning percentage automatically go up as well?

As it stands, that is a stupid argument on "what ifs".

No, but the hypothetical #'s you threw up were stupid and now where close to a fair translation. The year Namath threw 28 INTs he had 491 att, thats 5.7%. Last year Brees threw 659 if he had a 5.7% INT rate that would be 37-38 INTs not 50, but again you seem to have completely ignored the changes in rules and general strategy that inflate passing numbers today
