Aaron Rodgers or Ryan Tannehill? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this QB comparison. Aaron Rodgers holds the advantage in 6 of 7 key categories, with Pass Touchdowns representing the most decisive gap — a 149.5% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Aaron Rodgers's Pass Touchdowns of 539 compared to Ryan Tannehill's 216 represents a 149.5% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Both players exceed the QB career average of 150 in this category, but Aaron Rodgers leads by 149.5%. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Aaron Rodgers's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Completion %, where Aaron Rodgers posts 65.1% against Ryan Tannehill's 64.3% — a gap of just 1.2%. Ryan Tannehill can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 6-1 tally suggests. In any debate, Completion % is the statistical ammunition for the Ryan Tannehill 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 149.5% 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.
