Braelon Allen's Rushing Yards of 1,008 compared to Alfonso Smith's 175 represents a 476% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Alfonso Smith falls 96.8% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Braelon Allen exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Braelon Allen's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Braelon Allen posts 4.4 against Alfonso Smith's 3.2 — a gap of just 37.5%.

In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Alfonso Smith 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.

Braelon Allen wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 1. The 476% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Braelon Allen's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
