What? I thought it was a good question. Only 1 out of 4 QB's start all 16 games in any given season. Geez!

100% of
offensive snaps. And doesn't include injury.
That means Matt Flynn coming in against Arizona, hand the ball off against Buffalo and take a knee against San Francisco means Russell Wilson only played 13 full games by that logic.
the following QBs started 16 games last year:
Russell Wilson
Peyton Manning
Drew Brees
Josh Freeman
Sam Bradford
Eli Manning
Joe Flacco
Matt Ryan
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Cam Newton
Aaron Rodgers
Christian Ponder
Matthew Stafford
Matt Schaub
Tony Romo
Philip Rivers
Tom Brady
Brandon Weeden
Andrew Luck
Andy Dalton
Ryan Tannehill
21 players/teams
