As has been noted, when Jason Campbell led the Browns onto the field in week 8 he became the team's 20th starter since the 1999 season, their first back in the NFL after the Art Modell saga. Intrigued, we decided to compile data on the rest of the NFL's starting quarterbacks over that time period, which you can see in the chart above and more in depth in the tables below.
As expected, the Browns are the worst in this particular measure. (At least they lead the league in something.) Rounding out the top five in quarterback incompetence are the Dolphins, Bears, Raiders, and Vikings. They each have, on average, started more than one new quarterback every year. You can see how that's worked out for them.
At the other end of the spectrum, we have the Patriots, Colts, Giants, and Packers, all of which have started no more than five guys over that 15 season span. Barring injury, that number should stretch to absurd levels for the Colts and Packers with their seamless transitions from one long-time starter to another.
And while they're not quite as abysmal on sheer quantity of shitty quarterbacks, take a look at Washington, Dallas, and Denver, who had a parade of mediocre quarterbacks who didn't stick, which may actually be worse for a fanbase's psyche.
That's the visualization side; but check out the tables below, which show each team's starting quarterbacks and their record from year to year. A few things stick out, like journeyman extraordinaire Gus Frerotte's six different teams; Randall Cunningham's comeback years with the Vikings, Cowboys, and Ravens; and, my favorite, the year the Saints started a Billy Joe Hobert and a Billy Joe Tolliver, leading to great headlines like "Saints May Just Say No To Any More Billy Joe."

If this hasn't adequately satisfied your quarterback visualization fix, The New York Times had a cool chart of the same info going back to 1970, though that one tracked consecutive starts rather than the overall number.
