Regular season unless marked. A starter is the quarterback who took the first snap, credited with the game's result however long he played: nflverse's game file from 1999, Pro-Football-Reference's record as starter for 1950-98 (no playoff starts before 1999). A quarterback traded within a season before 1999 is left out of that season.
