The '2011 NFL starting QBs' quiz

After spending three seasons backing up Bryce Young with the Carolina Panthers, 38 year old veteran Andy Dalton is headed to Philadelphia. 

The Eagles sent a 2027 seventh-round pick to Carolina for Dalton after not retaining Sam Howell as Jalen Hurts’ No. 2 and the Panthers brought in former Eagle Kenny Pickett to be their backup. 

The “Red Rifle,” started seven games over his three campaigns in Carolina, going 1-6. The 1 came in 2024, when he was inserted into the lineup for an injured Bryce Young and went off for 319 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Las Vegas. Dalton started just once in 2025 and did not look great, going 16-for-24 with 175 yards and an interception and two lost fumbles in a 40-9 loss to Buffalo. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Dalton began his now 16-year career back in 2011-12 with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting behind Cam Newton. With that being said, how many of the NFL starting quarterbacks to start the 2011 season can you name in five minutes? 

Good luck!
