Edgerrin James's Rushing Yards of 12,246 compared to Baron Batch's 49 represents a 24891.8% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Baron Batch falls 99.1% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Edgerrin James exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Edgerrin James's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Baron Batch posts 2.0 against Edgerrin James's 4.0 — a gap of just 100%. Baron Batch can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-0 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Baron Batch side.

Running back careers are defined by efficiency as much as volume. Yards per carry separates elite backs from good ones, while receiving ability from the backfield has become increasingly valuable in the modern NFL.

Edgerrin James wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 0. The 24891.8% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Edgerrin James's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
