Tom Brady v. Mac Jones - Week-by-Week Comparisons From Beginning
Tuesday, September 21, 2021
Tom Brady’s first start was September 30, 2001. He had played in two prior games — one in 2000 where he did some mop-up work and, of course, the infamous Mo Lewis Jets game that injured New England's Drew Bledsoe and set the stage for NFL history.
GoLocal is tracking the week-by-week performance comparison of Brady in 2001 versus Jones this season.
"Yes. I really don't think that I am going to be standing here week after week talking about all of the problems that Tom Brady had. I have confidence in him, I think the team has confidence in him and I think that he will prepare himself well and he will go out there and perform at a good level," said Bill Belichick, September 24, 2001 (the day after Drew Bledsoe was injured vs. New York Jets).
