Which NFL Teams Have Started The Most Quarterbacks, 1999-2013?
 
http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/196y...g/original.png





As has been noted, when Jason Campbell led the Browns onto the field in week 8 he became the team's 20th starter since the 1999 season, their first back in the NFL after the Art Modell saga. Intrigued, we decided to compile data on the rest of the NFL's starting quarterbacks over that time period, which you can see in the chart above and more in depth in the tables below.

As expected, the Browns are the worst in this particular measure. (At least they lead the league in something.) Rounding out the top five in quarterback incompetence are the Dolphins, Bears, Raiders, and Vikings. They each have, on average, started more than one new quarterback every year. You can see how that's worked out for them.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have the Patriots, Colts, Giants, and Packers, all of which have started no more than five guys over that 15 season span. Barring injury, that number should stretch to absurd levels for the Colts and Packers with their seamless transitions from one long-time starter to another.

And while they're not quite as abysmal on sheer quantity of shitty quarterbacks, take a look at Washington, Dallas, and Denver, who had a parade of mediocre quarterbacks who didn't stick, which may actually be worse for a fanbase's psyche.

That's the visualization side; but check out the tables below, which show each team's starting quarterbacks and their record from year to year. A few things stick out, like journeyman extraordinaire Gus Frerotte's six different teams; Randall Cunningham's comeback years with the Vikings, Cowboys, and Ravens; and, my favorite, the year the Saints started a Billy Joe Hobert and a Billy Joe Tolliver, leading to great headlines like "Saints May Just Say No To Any More Billy Joe."

If this hasn't adequately satisfied your quarterback visualization fix, The New York Times had a cool chart of the same info going back to 1970, though that one tracked consecutive starts rather than the overall number.

Other than Trent Green, we have thrown nothing but pure trash out there....

No wonder we are a horrible franchise with no playoff wins in 20 years...

OrtonsPiercedTaint 11-20-2013 03:36 PM

Grbac had talent...

Chiefs are like the 49ers QB career ender...

Come to KC and kill whats left of your career...

Or, you could look at the other way. Fail at San Francisco and milk your career a few more years as a Chief.

Goes to show how much of a cluster**** Norval was in SD.. 10/15 years they've had only one starter and the lion's share of that was Rivers after the Marty era.

Eleazar 11-20-2013 04:37 PM

Croyle started games in four different seasons and never won a single one. That has to be some kind of a record.

This list of QB's brings back a lot of AFC West memories. I had forgotten that Brian Griese has a Super Bowl ring.

CoMoChief 11-20-2013 05:16 PM

6 out of the bottom 10 teams during that time span, reached their respected conference's championship game.....5 of those went to the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile the Chiefs during that span suck a lot of midget cock while the whole league laughs at us.

Yep. Too bad this team had no defense when Trent was here. One of the most underrated QBs I've ever seen.

I think its pretty telling that 8 of the 11 Chiefs QBs were after Trent Green got hurt in 2006.

Meh.. I don't know if things would've been better had he not gotten hurt past 2006 and played until 2008... If he'd played all of 2006 I'd guess they still have the same record they had in real life in 2007 and 2008, so probably D Bowe and Albert...

The QBs they've missed out on based on that draft positioning:

Kevin Kolb
Trent Edwards
John Beck (No Tank Tyler or Turk McBride)
Jeff Rowe
Thiggy

then

Joe Flacco
Brian Brohm
Chad Henne (meaning no Flowers)
Kevin O'Connell
John David Booty
Dennis Dixon
Josh Johnson
Erik Ainge
Colt Brennan
Andre' Woodson
Matt Flynn
Alex Brink




....

..

.


****, KC really is cursed... There'd have been no one worth a shit drafting unless Carl/Kuharich/Herm wheeled and dealed to get Matt Ryan.
