Comparing Deshaun Watson and Tua Tagovailoa Head to Head

The career statistics tell a clear story in this QB comparison. Deshaun Watson holds the advantage in 5 of 6 key categories, with Interceptions representing the most decisive gap — a 20% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Deshaun Watson's Interceptions of 50 compared to Tua Tagovailoa's 60 represents a 20% advantage — notably better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Deshaun Watson's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Passer Rating, where Deshaun Watson posts 98.3 against Tua Tagovailoa's 96.2 — a gap of just 2.2%. Tua Tagovailoa can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-1 tally suggests. In any debate, Passer Rating is the statistical ammunition for the Tua Tagovailoa 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.

Deshaun Watson wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 1. The 20% gap in Interceptions alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Deshaun Watson's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
