Polymarket Football on X shared Brady and Sanders' stats through their first three career starts. The account wrote Sanders had 723 yards and five touchdowns and a 92.8 passer rating with two interceptions. Brady allegedly posted 543 yards and two touchdowns with a 72.4 passer rating and three interceptions.

Whitlock sarcastically wrote that those stats meant Sanders was a better quarterback than the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

"That settles it," Whitlock wrote.

Turns out the former Colorado Buffaloes posted solid numbers during this span, but the difference wasn't as big as this account made it look. Sanders posted 722 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions, whereas Brady recorded 618 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions.

CBS Sports highlighted that Sanders matched a record that only Brady had before. He became only the second quarterback to throw for exactly 364 yards in his third career start.

Shedeur Sanders completed 23 of 42 pass attempts for three touchdowns. He added three carries for 29 yards and one touchdown. The Browns couldn't get the job done, but Sanders showed glimpses of brilliance after a rocky outing against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Tom Brady offered strong advice to Shedeur Sanders after dramatic NFL draft slide

Tom Brady and Shedeur Sanders' journeys have been connected since Deion Sanders' son was younger. The New England Patriots icon mentored Sanders growing up, and reached out to him after the projections collapsed and the Browns selected Sanders with the No. 144 pick in April's draft.

"I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well, and I said, 'Dude, like, whatever happens, wherever you go, like, that's your first day," Brady said on the "Impaulsive Podcast" in May. "Day 2 matters more than the draft. I was [pick] 199. So, who could speak on it better than me, like, what that really means? Use it as motivation. You're gonna get your chances. Go take advantage of it.'"

Sanders and Brady have completely opposite play styles, yet comparisons don't seem to be stopping anytime soon. The Browns and the Raiders are struggling to get going this season, and the possibility of seeing them drafting quarterbacks again in 2026 isn't far-fetched.
