The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Attempt, where Aaron Rodgers posts 7.5 against Donovan McNabb's 6.9 — a gap of just 8.7%.

In any debate, Yards Per Attempt is the statistical ammunition for the Donovan McNabb 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.

Aaron Rodgers wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 1. The 130.3% gap in Pass Touchdowns alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Aaron Rodgers's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
