Russell Wilson's Pass Touchdowns of 353 compared to Andy Dalton's 254 represents a 39% advantage — significantly better than their counterpart in this critical category. Both players exceed the QB career average of 150 in this category, but Russell Wilson leads by 39%.

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.

Russell Wilson wins this head to head comparison decisively — 7 categories to 0. The 39% gap in Pass Touchdowns alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Russell Wilson's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
