As consistent as the New England Patriots had been with Tom Brady at quarterback for the past two decades, the Tennessee Titans have seen the exact opposite situation with their starting quarterback situation.
And they aren’t alone.
Spotrac’s Michael Ginnitti listed how many starting quarterbacks each NFL team has had in the Brady-Patriots era now that it’s over, with the Titans coming in at a whopping 16.
On the bright side, that isn’t the most on the list.

So, can you name them all?
Admittedly, we couldn’t off the top of our heads, but thanks to some crowd-sourcing, we’ve come up with the list.
- Steve McNair
- Neil O’Donnell
- Billy Volek
- Matt Mauck
- Vince Young
- Kerry Collins
- Rusty Smith
- Matt Hasselbeck
- Jake Locker
- Ryan Fitzpatrick
- Zach Mettenberger
- Charlie Whitehurst
- Marcus Mariota
- Matt Cassel
- Blaine Gabbert
- Ryan Tannehill
Hopefully that last guy can stick around longer than most on this list, but that remains to be seen.
Tennessee recently committed to Tannehill with a four-year, $118 million deal after he had arguably more success in 2019 than every quarterback on this list aside from McNair.
