QBs who took every snap in a season

[74_75_78_79_]

With 7Den bringing up Timm Rosenbach on the '90 PRs thread, it begs the question as to what other QBs in history took every single snap in a season as TR himself did in '90 for the Cards?

[Citizen]

Brett Favre did in 2001.

[Todd Pence]

Jim Plunkett was the first ever to do this as a rookie in 1971.

[BD Sullivan]

Brian Sipe in 1980, when he won MVP.

[LJP]

Erik Kramer, 1995.

You'd think in order for a QB to take every snap in an entire season, practically every game would be at least relatively close throughout. Looking at final scores of that '90 Cards campaign, there are quite a few lopsided games; especially Redskins blowing them out twice in September: 31-0 opener and 38-10 respectively. Yet Bugel still keeps Rose in there. Then there's the Cardiac Browns of '80. Lopsided opener-loss at NE as well as pounding Hawks & Bengals. Sipe stays in anyway. There's always the coach keeping the QB in just for extra reps, but still.

Didn't Peyton Manning also take every snap in his '98 rookie year?

Joe Ferguson, 1977.

[JohnTurney]

Sam Bradford, 2010

[Gary Najman]

Just last season alone there were four QBs who took every snap: Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Kirk Cousins and Matthew Stafford. I'll bet that Brees and Manning have at least another season without a missed snap.

Manning did, yes. Part of the reason he set rookie passing records was the Colts left him in during blowouts, and he chucked up some yardage and TD's in garbage time. (In his first six games, he threw 6 touchdown passes. Only 1 came in the first three quarters of a game.) The Colts felt Manning should play as much as possible to learn the game. Obviously, that worked out well.
