Sam Darnold's Interceptions of 82 compared to Warren Moon's 233 represents a 184.1% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Sam Darnold's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Completion %, where Sam Darnold posts 62.3% against Warren Moon's 58.4% — a gap of just 6.7%. Warren Moon can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 3-3 tally suggests. In any debate, Completion % is the statistical ammunition for the Warren Moon 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.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Sam Darnold claims the tiebreaker through Interceptions advantage — a 184.1% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NFL debate.
