By my reconing New England is 163 and 53 since 2001 when Tom Brady started. The average opponent has just under a 25% history of win, and rookies won just over 25% of the time, but the sample sizes are way too small to make any meaningful inferences on the scale of the difference.

As a predictor of tonight’s outcome that’s a good one. I was just looking at it from the Belicick side and how to put his record in context.

Last year excepted I would think most rookie QBs have mediocre records, otherwise why were they drafted and why are they starting so soon?
