No one can argue with Tom Brady’s magnificent performance last week as the New England Patriots stomped all over the Tennessee Titans and came out with a 59-0 win, but what about that other quarterback in the AFC East? You know, the rookie in green and white? Mark Sanchez, a staple for the New York Jets, has also posted some outstanding numbers this year, and here’s how the two AFC East quarterbacks stack up against each other.

It looks like Tom Brady’s still got what it takes to make it rain on the football field, and even if Mark Sanchez is one of the most outstanding rookies in the league, he’s still got a ways to go if he wants to catch up to Brady’s stats. Of course, when it comes to teams as a whole Brady also has a better crew of militiamen backing him up, and that could be part of his outstanding numbers. Don’t forget the Jets beat the Patriots already this season, though, so anything could happen with the AFC East this season as the weeks play on.
