The quarterback is the most important position in football. It is not for nothing that the players who take the balls from below the center are the ones who receive the most money, in addition to the fact that the reflectors are always placed on them. Just go to Netflix to see that there is a series produced by Peyton Manning called Quarterback.
However, in the 2023 season, the National Football League is missing some of the biggest names due to injury.
From the first week of the season, a fallen quarterback took up the conversation. Aaron Rodgers in the first game under the Jets helmet, broke his Achilles heel, ending his season.
Joining the list this Sunday was Daniel Jones, the Giants quarterback who suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s loss to the Raiders.
Last year, 69 quarterbacks started at least one game, an NFL record. The previous mark was 64 in 2007 and it was 63 in 2021.

This season, 42 quarterbacks started through the first eight weeks, and the Rams’ Brett Rypien, the Cardinals’ Clayton Tune, and the Vikings’ Jaren Hall joined the extensive carousel this weekend.
However, Tommy DeVito will soon be added to that list of 45 quarterbacks, who is expected to take the reins of the Giants’ offense because Tyrod Taylor is also injured.
Between injuries and emergences typical of new generations, seven rookies have been starters for eight weeks, the most in NFL history. First-round picks Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson were expected to start, but Will Levis (second round), Aidan O’Connell (fourth), Dorian Thompson-Robinson (fifth) and Tyson Bagent (undrafted) ) already took part in the conversation, too. Tune and Hall.
