Is Aaron Brooks Better Than Justin Fields? NFL Stats Decide

This is as close as it gets. Aaron Brooks and Justin Fields split the statistical categories evenly — 3 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested QB comparisons in NFL history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Justin Fields's Interceptions of 32 compared to Aaron Brooks's 92 represents a 187.5% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Justin Fields's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Passer Rating, where Aaron Brooks posts 78.5 against Justin Fields's 84.7 — a gap of just 7.9%. Justin Fields can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 3-3 tally suggests. In any debate, Passer Rating is the statistical ammunition for the Justin Fields side.

Quarterback evaluation in the modern NFL weighs passing efficiency heavily alongside raw yardage totals. Passer rating, completion percentage and touchdown-to-interception ratio paint a more complete picture than any single statistic alone.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Justin Fields claims the tiebreaker through Interceptions advantage — a 187.5% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NFL debate.
