2021 NFL Starting QB Pick'em

[Carman Bulldog]

Lots of interesting quarterback competitions this year. I think it's much easier to say who is going to be the Week 1 starter than it is to say who will end up with the most starts over the course of a 17 game season.

So with that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to do a pick'em for which of the two listed quarterbacks finishes the regular season with more starts. They don't even need to get to nine starts (team majority), simply as long as they have more than the other listed quarterback.

CHI - Andy Dalton vs Justin Fields
DEN - Drew Lock vs Teddy Bridgewater
HOU - Deshaun Watson vs Tyrod Taylor
NEP - Cam Newton vs Mac Jones
NOS - Jameis Winston vs Taysom Hill
SFO - Jimmy Garoppolo vs Trey Lance

Interested to see if anyone can go 6-0.

CHI - Fields
DEN - Bridgewater
HOU - Taylor
NEP - Jones
NOS - Winston
SFO - Lance

Edit just to fix city abbreviations.

NEP - Cam Newton
NOS - Jameis Winston

CHI - Andy Dalton
DEN - Teddy Bridgewater
HOU - Deshaun Watson
NEP - Cam Newton
NOS - Taysom Hill
SFO - Jimmy Garoppolo

And the winners are:
CHI - Justin Fields 10, Andy Dalton 6 (Nick Foles 1)
DEN - Teddy Bridgewater 14, Drew Lock 3
HOU - Tyrod Taylor 6, Deshaun Watson 0 (Davis Mills 11)
NEP - Mac Jones 17, Cam Newton (didn't even make the team) 0
NOS - Taysom Hill 5+4, Jameis Winston 7 (Trevor Siemian 4, Ian Book 1)
SFO - Jimmy Garoppolo 15, Trey Lance 2

* Hill was the starting QB 5 times (weeks 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18), but was also a starting WR in 4 other games (weeks 2, 3, 4 and 5), what should be the ruling here? I guess the intent was to only count QB starts?

Thanks for bumping this, I kind of forgot about it. And yes, the intent was starts at quarterback.


Although I picked Jimmy G, I'm still a bit surprised looking back that the discrepancy in starts is so large. I definitely still thought San Fran would have eventually transitioned to Lance at some point during the season.
