Over the last 20+ years that Belichick has been the head coach of the Patriots, they have owned almost every rookie QB that has crossed their path. Young QB's are unprepared for what Belichick comes up with in his defensive scheme, which results in a lot of mistakes. Some have been able to overcome him, but the vast majority have failed.
Since 2000, Belichick is an astounding 21-6 against rookie QB's. He simply doesn't lose very often when the opposition trots out a young signal-caller. The Jets, in particular, have been completely wiped out by the Pats in their last 20 meetings.
New England has won its last 10 straight contests against the Jets, and a remarkable 18 of the last 20. That is the Belichick/Brady combo at its finest, crushing all who opposed them. Wilson will have to completely flip the script and change the narrative as a rookie. That won't be easy.
Only 6 QB's have been able to defeat Belichick in their rookie season. This list is a doozy, but offers some insight as to what the blueprint is to defeating the all-time great coach.
What sets these men apart is their lack of turnovers they give up. Not one of them had multiple turnovers in their victory. If Wilson can limit his, he might be able to add his name to this list.
