Question

Russell Wilson and Justin Fields started most of last year for the Broncos and Bears; now the Steelers have both of them. When was the last time a team during a season started two different quarterbacks who the previous season started most of the season for other teams? With the other pair of quarterbacks, one is still active, while the other wishes he was. (Pittsburgh, of course, hasn’t actually done this yet – it remains to be seen if both Wilson and Fields start games).

Answer

Carolina in 2021 started Sam Darnold 11 times and Cam Newton 5 times. They started most of the previous season with the Jets and Patriots.
