This is such a worthless comparison. I’m very excited for Maye, but stats from 2001 and now are so hilariously different.
Stfu
We love all these cherry picked stats š«
Nobody profits from comparing Drake Maye to TB12, just adds unwanted pressure. The early 2000s are not comparable to the 2024+2025 seasons. Same goes for the Patriots then compared to now. Lets just enjoy that Maye seems to be the real deal – he doesnāt have to be the next Brady to be a great QB.
Why you gotta pit two bad bitches against each other?
Just look up Mahomes first 18 gamesā¦ 5k passing yards and 50 TDās
This confirms with 100% accuracy Drake is as good as Tom. Can’t wait for another 6 superbowls.
This is embarrassingĀ
Ha! He’s better than Brady!
Just let the man develop on his own. Thereās only 1 TB. Thereās only 1 Drake Maye.Ā
Listen, I love Maye but this isnāt the flex you think it is. Brady had pedestrian stats at that point in his career, even by the standards of the era that was way less passer-friendly.
GOAT confirmed!
But in all seriousness, donāt compare any QB to Brady. Youāre setting them up for failure.
So drakes first 18 games are comparable to someone seen as a game manager by early 2000s standards that didn’t have to do much to win because he had an elite defense? That’s not the compliment you think it is.
I would die for both of those men.
He’s progressing well. I think Maye can be our guy. The biggest thing imo is that he will have mcd as a stable oc for years hopefully, because mcd ain’t getting a HC gig anytime soon. He did pretty well with Mac too, and Maye is much more talented and dynamic.
I’m shocked Tom is close to Drake. The game has changed so much in 20+ years.
Now do the rushing stats for both š
We all know what this means. 8 Super Bowl rings.
Its funny how you pick 18 games. Through the first 19 games tom brady had already won his first superbowl. Hows that for stats
So who’s our Randy Moss of this generation?
Damn, comparing Maye to TB this early in his career is next-level cringe.
If you were being honest this is more impressive for Brady in an era where defenses were allowed to do a lot more and it was less pass friendly than the League is today being more offensive friendly and giving defenses less wiggle room
8,000 cars in the US in 1900.
17.5 million cars in the US in 1925.
A whole lot changes in 25 years.
Shocked Brady was there. Considering his first few years we barely had any heavy passing game, and Tom Brady wasn’t Tom Brady yet when it comes to offensive numbers.
Too far. Like Iām all about praising his minor/major successes but itās very silly to try to extrapolate from this data point. Other greats of the game freely admitted Tom was just different.
That was a different era. Bradyās stats are more impressive.
This is silly. The average team throws for like 800 more yards a season now than they did in 2000. Average touchdown:int ratios are also much higher.
Maye looks great – but Brady’s stats are much more impressive.
Not a fair comparison. The rules changed dramatically in 2006 to open the passing game after Peyton/Irsay whined incessantly to the NFL about their receivers getting abused.
Brady was on a much better team. Drake has had to play from behind a lot.

We can him āthe kidāā¦ also known as a baby GOAT.
Here for the joke, along for the ride. Just happy to be excited about the Pats again.
MacĀ
gFirst 18 ames as a starter, Mac Jones had a 12-6 record, completing 65.9% of his passes for 4,058 yards, with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions
People acting on this sub like Drake Maye himself sees this post and feels “pressured” as a result. š¤£
The per game averages here are around 18/27 for 193 yards with a little over 1 TD and a little under 1 INT. So the numbers arenāt crazy, but interesting that they line up so close.
To be fair though, both guys had multiple games with <10 pass attempts because they came in late or left early.
Different leave when Brady played
Who fucking cares? Brady wasnāt even elite 2 years in.
For the record. Brady was 14-4 in his first 18 games, 3-0 in the playoffs and had a Super Bowl ring.
Maye is 6-11 after his first 17 games.
Stop with this comparison BS
What is with the āwell Bradyās era was tougher so increase his stats by x percent.ā Couldnāt you make the same argument with the talent surrounding each QB? For 12 of the 17 games Drake has played includes the worst roster in the league with also a bottom 3 coaching staff (maybe worse) in the league.
Is this just Brady fans or people who arenāt being fair
7 patriots sb wins with maye incoming
The league was vastly different in 2001. Drake Maye is not Tom Brady 2. It’s unfair to compare them and expect him to have a career like Brady did. Drake is 23 years old, just let him be him and appreciate watching it.
That being said, he does look like a qb who will win a superbowl some day.
Didnāt Brady also have three playoff wins and a Super Bowl ring by his 18th regular season start? And more than the four regular season wins we can credit Maye with?
The prince who was promised
Itās a different league now
Different eras
Just gotta keep it up until 2045.
Can we stop comparing him to Brady please?
Charlie Weiss was very Cautious with Brady. He was a clutch as Fuck game manager in his 1st season. To be fair, comparing Brady in year One to Maye may be a bit more realistic. Or year 2. Not both. That is a bit cherry picked timeline
Show what itās like after 100 games
Yes letās compare 2001 nfl passing attacks to 2020ās. Now letās do 3 point attempts. Dumb graphic
Now show Macās first 10 games. Iām sure they are comparable
