context_page_description: These quarterbacks have started at least one game for the Washington Football Team of the National Football League and its predecessors the Boston Braves, Boston Redskins, and Washington Redskins. The franchise was founded in Boston, Massachusetts as the Boston Braves, named after the local baseball franchise. The name was changed the following year to the Redskins. For the 1937 NFL season, the franchise moved to Washington, D.C., where it remains based. The Redskins name was retired in 2020 following years of controversy, with the team temporarily playing as the Washington Football Team that season.
  Of the 50 Washington starting quarterbacks, two have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Sammy Baugh and Sonny Jurgensen.
