Eddie George or Kimble Anders? The NFL Stat Breakdown

This is as close as it gets. Eddie George and Kimble Anders split the statistical categories evenly — 3 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested RB comparisons in NFL history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Eddie George's Rush Touchdowns of 68 compared to Kimble Anders's 9 represents a 655.6% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Kimble Anders falls 77.5% below the career average of 40 in this category while Eddie George exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Eddie George's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Games Played, where Eddie George posts 141 against Kimble Anders's 125 — a gap of just 12.8%. Kimble Anders can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 3-3 tally suggests. In any debate, Games Played is the statistical ammunition for the Kimble Anders 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.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Eddie George claims the tiebreaker through Rush Touchdowns advantage — a 655.6% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NFL debate.
