Default QB group rankings reveal teams in trouble if starter goes down

Or should we say, had a problem? When Schaub went down in Week 9 last season, the Texans were on a roll having scored 27, 27, 29, 28 and 35 points in five consecutive games and winning three straight. When Rosenfels replaced him, Houston lost three in a row, and for all intents and purposes, was done in the ultra-competitive AFC South.
The Texans weren't the only ones doing the quarterback shuffle last season. Only 16 quarterbacks started all 16 regular-season games. In other words, half of the teams in the NFL had to go to their second or third quarterbacks at some point because their starter got injured or failed to deliver and had to be replaced. In all, 53 different quarterbacks started a game in 2008, one season removed from an NFL-record 64.
How important was having a 16-game starter last year? Of the 12 teams that made the playoffs, only one -- Minnesota -- had multiple starters after Week 1; Tennessee made its switch by Week 2 and stayed with Kerry Collins the remainder of the season.
Every team has already asked itself this question as final roster adjustments are being made to get down to the mandated 53-man roster limit by Saturday: If our starting quarterback is lost for any significant part of the season, what happens to our team?
The answer could be the difference between, well, New England (11-5 record, nearly making the playoffs) and Houston.
Quarterback is the most important position on the football field, but making sure you have the position properly supplied heading into the season is a challenge for most teams.
