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.

Sam Darnold wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 1. The 545% gap in Pass Touchdowns alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Sam Darnold's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
