USA Today counted them up -- 60 different quarterbacks have started this season for NFL teams. That's the most ever since the league went to 32 teams and 10 more than last season. Seven teams have used three or more. The huge churn at the position has been due to both injury and performance.
Not so coincidentally, the four teams with the best records in the NFL -- New England (14-0), Indianapolis, Dallas and Greeen Bay (all 12-2) have had rock-solid stability at the position with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Tony Romo. In fact, among the current nine teams that lead their respective divisions (there's a tie in the AFC North), only one has a starting quarterback that missed any significant time, Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia. Footnote: Cleveland's Derek Anderson has been the starter since replacing Charlie Frye in the first half of the season opener.
