Experience

Something that NFL teams are constantly aware of with a QB prospect is how long that player has actually played. Specifically the number of starts they have under their belt. Logic of course dictating that the fewer starts they have, the less experience they are. The less experienced they are means they might be less prepare for the NFL level.

Coaches prefer quarterbacks who have been in the fire for a good amount of time, seen defensive varieties and learned how to command a huddle. It’s hard to do that in just a handful of games. In that context, here is the pecking order from most starts. Keep in mind these only include the years where the quarterback was declared the starter at the beginning of the season.
