By now you've probably heard that Sunday's matchup between the and will feature 45-year old , the greatest quarterback of all-time, against 22-year old rookie , .It's the most lopsided QB matchup on paper in history, from stats to Didi Gregorius Jersey career earnings, and maybe even Twitter followers and retirements. In case you can't tell, we don't always take ourselves too seriously around here, so let's dive in on this whacky tale of the tape. Enjoy the ride!QBAGESEASONHEIGHTWEIGHTCOLLEGEDRAFTEDTom Brady4523rd6'4"225Michigan2000 (6th round, 199th overall)Brock Purdy221st6'1"220Iowa State2022 (7th round, 262nd overall)Purdy is 22 years old and was born Dec. 27, 1999, leaving him five days shy of being the first quarterback born in the 2000s to face Tom Brady. That honor will have to wait. He was still just three months old when Brady was drafted 199th overall in 2000, making this the largest age gap in a starting QB matchup in NFL history, with Brady being 45 years old.Scouting reports on both quarterbacks praised their pocket presence with concerns on arm strength. Our own Chris Trapa so wrote this in his pre-draft scouting report on Purdy.Purdy doesn't have an immortalized NFL Scouting Combine photo like Brady, but as Mr. Irrelevant, he can find inspiration from Brady's succe s as a sixth-round pick in 2000. Both were unknowns entering the league, so if Brady could win a in his first year as a starter with nobody giving him a chance, then you can't rule out Purdy taking this loaded San Francisco team Adam Ottavino Jersey on a title run. If Purdy could somehow pull that off, it could top even Brady's underdog story, and be a 30 for 30 film that writes itself. With the 199th pick in the draft, the New England Patriots select... this guy. Tom Brady at 2000 NFL Combine. SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) Perhaps my favorite nugget about this matchup: Brady has started against a quarterback from 35 different draft cla ses, from Doug Flutie in 1985 to Purdy in 2022. Flutie (11th round, 285th overall pick in 1985) is actually the lowest-drafted QB Brady has ever faced, not Purdy.There's a tiny disparity here, but Purdy can close the gap on Sunday (chuckle). Brady is the NFL's all-time wins, touchdown pa ses and pa sing yards leader, among other categories. If Purdy throws two touchdown pa ses every game like he did in Week 13, he could pa s Brady in 2040. Let's not not forget, though, that Purdy has never lost. Sure, he's never started a game, but let's not let Greg Bird Jersey the facts get in the way a good note. He has 204 fewer interceptions than Brady and has been sacked 558 fewer times. He also has one fewer retirement.QBSEASONSGAMESRECORDYARDSTDSINTSRATINGTom Brady23330249-7987,85264020697.3Brock Purdy140-02762276.0Brady has won 35 playoff games in his career, as many as the 49ers franchise in their storied history.

Purdy has yet to make his first million. Brady's game check this year ($882K) is more than what Purdy has made in his career up to this point ($782K).Purdy does have one edge here, though. Thanks to inflation, his first contract, a four-year deal worth $3.7 million, is larger than Brady's first contract from 2000-02, which was a three-year deal worth $867K.CAREER EARNINGSBRADYPURDYCareer earnings$333.0M$782KCurrent contract1-yr/$15M4-yr/$3.7M2022 salary$15M$782K2022 per game salary$882K$46KTom Brady: forgot what down it was in 2020 lo s to Brock Purdy: handed off ball in wrong direction in Week 11Purdy's career didn't get off to a good start after handing the Joe DiMaggio Jersey ball off in the wrong direction in mop up duty on "Monday Night Football" in Week 11. But hey, at least he didn't get . And Purdy's blooper is now a footnote compared with the fact that he's the 49ers starting quarterback.
