Is Jared Goff Better Than Tyler Shough? NFL Stats Decide

The career statistics tell a clear story in this QB comparison. Jared Goff holds the advantage in 5 of 7 key categories, with Pass Touchdowns representing the most decisive gap — a 1294.7% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Jared Goff's Pass Touchdowns of 265 compared to Tyler Shough's 19 represents a 1294.7% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Tyler Shough falls 87.3% below the career average of 150 in this category while Jared Goff exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Jared Goff's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Completion %, where Jared Goff posts 65.9% against Tyler Shough's 67.5% — a gap of just 2.4%. Tyler Shough can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-2 tally suggests. In any debate, Completion % is the statistical ammunition for the Tyler Shough 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.

Jared Goff wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 2. The 1294.7% gap in Pass Touchdowns alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Jared Goff's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
