Ranking all 32 NFL teams by QB turnover: Bears, Browns, Texans most desperate for stability entering 2022

Quarterbacks are always the talk of the NFL. And some teams are more privileged than others when it comes to possessing star talent under center. Finding, developing and retaining a franchise signal-caller is tough business. Just ask half the NFL, which has cycled through an average of almost one new starter per year over the last decade.

We all know, going into 2022, which teams top the charts when it comes to QB power. Think Kansas City, or Green Bay, or Tampa Bay, where there are no questions about the MVP potential of veterans like Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. But what about the teams desperate for some continuity at the position, let alone annual accolades?

In an effort to identify the teams hungriest for long-term stability under center, we’ve ranked all 32 clubs according to how much QB turnover they’ve endured since the 2011 season, or the last 10 seasons. The teams with the most starting QBs during that span rank highest, signifying the revolving door they’ve had at the position. Note: we counted a QB in the total if he started at least four (4) games in a single season, or roughly a quarter of the current regular-season schedule.

The primary takeaway here: it’s hard to possess a great QB for a long time, no matter who you are and how successful you’ve been! Ten years is a long time for any team or QB, so if…
