One of the crazy things in the Belichick Pats era is how few in game QB there have been - and most of those were injury related.
If you exclude garbage time changes, there have only been 8 or 9 QB changes in Belichick's entire time with the Pats.

2022:
- Zappe for Mac (healthy)
- Zappe for Hoyer (injury)
- Stidham for Hoyer (healthy, though Hoyer was subbing for the Covid-19 afflicted Newton)
- Brisset for Garoppolo (injury)
- Cassel for Brady (injury)
- Cassel for Brady* (healthy, but arguably this was a sort of garbage time; it was the final game of the season and Brady played one quarter and then sat out)
- Brady for Bledsoe (injury)
- Bledsoe for Brady (injury - AFCCG)
- Friesz for Bledsoe (injury? I don;t remember BB benching Bledsoe during his first year, so I assume injury related)
