According to this [article](http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/06/11/26/100spo_c3favre001.cfm), as of Nov. 25th, 199 different QBs have started since the streak began. I believe the Vikings and the Browns have started new QBs since then, which would put it at least at 201. According to the article the Bears lead the way with 20 different starting QBs in that time.
