List

Note: The players listed are each team's starting quarterback from their most recently played game (Week 2) and may not reflect roster changes made since that time.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 115-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, current and starting providing the first useful test.
