Okay, so I’ve been meaning to do this comparison for a while now, and today I finally got around to it. I’m talking about Patrick Mahomes versus Russell Wilson. Two amazing quarterbacks, but who comes out on top? I decided to dive into the stats and see what I could find.
First, I gathered all their career stats. I spent a good hour just pulling numbers from various websites. Regular season, playoffs, everything. It was a bit of a data dump, but I wanted to be thorough.
Then, I started organizing it all. I made a spreadsheet – yeah, I’m that guy – and began plugging in the numbers. Passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions, completion percentage, rushing stats… you name it, I tracked it.
Digging into the Details
- Passing Yards: Both guys can sling it, no doubt. But Mahomes has consistently put up bigger numbers in this department.
- Touchdowns: Again, both are touchdown machines, but Mahomes seems to have a slight edge, especially in recent seasons.
- Interceptions: This is where it gets interesting. Wilson has historically been pretty good at protecting the ball, but Mahomes has improved a lot in this area.
- Rushing Ability: Both are mobile, but Wilson has definitely used his legs more throughout his career. Mahomes is more of a scrambler, while Wilson has those designed runs.
After crunching the numbers and looking at everything side-by-side, I started to see some clear trends. Mahomes is more of a gunslinger, putting up huge passing numbers and taking more risks. Wilson is a bit more calculated, balancing the pass and the run, and maybe playing it a little safer.
Honestly, it’s a tough call. Both are incredible talents. But if I had to pick one based purely on my little deep dive today, I’d probably lean towards Mahomes. His overall production, especially in recent years, is just hard to ignore. But hey, that’s just my take after spending an afternoon with spreadsheets and stats. Your opinion? Let’s discuss the games!
