60 Quarterbacks Have Started An NFL Game This Season

Toiling away on a cross-country flight Wednesday afternoon, I missed the beginning of our in-flight movie because I was too busy staring in disbelief at the USA Today sports section. Spilled across its first page? A collage of head shots of the 60 quarterbacks who have started an NFL game this season.

That's right, 60 quarterbacks.

ESPN Page 2

 

The scary thing is that there are people who could name all of them.

 

WE'VE HAD 3

 

59 Alex Smith is a QB impersonator.

 

Let's see if I'm one of them.

A.J. Feeley
Jason Campbell
Todd Collins

Total = 57, damnit, I'm close

 

That 3rd QB for the niners is Shaun hill

 

I'll see if I can finish it off for you.

But I think Kerry Collins started at least 1 game maybe 2.
I also think Kelly Holcomb started a game.

And I dont think this is one of them but did Lorenzen start a game earlier in the year for the Giants? I remember him playing but cant remember if he started.

And I didn't know Walter started this year but the Raiders switch qbs up so much that I get confused.


hmmm I dont know. I'm sure if I put my thinking cap on I can come up with the other one.
Pretty crazy though. Theres been a lot of qbs start this year and even more have played.

 

Holcomb was the Vikings QB I couldn't think of.

 

The NFL wanted parity. They got it. There are too many teams and the league is saturated with mediocre players. As I have stated before there are 4 really good teams, 4 really bad teams, and everybody else is stuck in the middle every year. And unfortunately The Ravens are one of the really bad teams this year. Sports is a very cyclical journey. Which gives everybody hope cus there's always tomorrow. It's only a day away.

 

The Fins had 3 QB's.

 

Looking to this from a different angle, who are the QBs, that start every game for their team.

Patriots - Tom Brady
Bengals - Carson Palmer
Steelers - Ben Roethlinsberger
Colts - Peyton Manning
Titans - Vince Young
Chargers - Phillip Rivers
Broncos - Jay Cutler
Cowboys - Tony Romo
Giants - Eli Manning
Packers - Brett Favre
Lions - Jon Kitna
Seahawks- Matt Hasselbeck

Any others?

If my list is right, 20 teams started 48 QBs or 2.4 on average :icon_confused:

 

I think I thought of 2 more people Dam.
They both played within the past few weeks.

Luke Mckown for the Bucs and Moore(I cant think of his first name) for the Panthers.

And good list Olly... Jay is one of those qbs. :)

 

:tease:

 

Vince Young. I missed that. Theres only one qb from the 2006 draft class to start every game.

 

k, Collins started in week 6 at Houston

 

Yeah, those are the other 2 I probably missed. I didn't know either had started. Oh well, 57/60 is 95% last I checked, that's not too bad, plus I even named the next starting QB.

 

Saints- Drew Brees

 

Yea its not bad. I would have got 58 though

But yea I remember Luke starting because he started the same day that Josh beat Denver and both Mckowns did good.

And I remember Moore because he beat Seattle and I have Hassleback on my FF team.

 

Patriots - Tom Brady
Bengals - Carson Palmer
Steelers - Ben Roethlinsberger
Colts - Peyton Manning
Saints - Drew Brees
Chargers - Phillip Rivers
Broncos - Jay Cutler
Cowboys - Tony Romo
Giants - Eli Manning
Packers - Brett Favre
Lions - Jon Kitna
Seahawks- Matt Hasselbeck
