Volin is just so, so, shitty:
Why it’s important for Bill Belichick to pick one quarterback and stick with him - The Boston Globe
In 1965, when they finally got to .500 (7-7), Don Meredith threw 305 of the team's 362 passes. In 1966 (10-3-1) Meredith threw 344 of the teams 414. He got about 2/3 of the time in 1967 (Craig Morton); but in 1968 Meredith again threw over 300 of the team's 400 passes. In 1969, Morton threw 302 of the team's 350 passes.
In 1972, Griese broke his ankle in week 5 and Morrall finished the season. Griese had a cup of coffee in the last game of the season. Morrall played the 1st playoff game; they each played in the 2nd one and Griese played in the SB.
In the 1982 season, when they went to the Super Bowl with Woodley at QB, Strock played in 3 regular season games at QB. None between week 3 and week 10.

In the early, early 60s, (1960-64), the Cowboys went 0-11-1, 4-9-1, 5-8-1, 4-10 & 5-8-1. Great success my ass.The football cliché — when you have two quarterbacks, you really have none — is an over-simplification. Tom Landry rotated quarterbacks on almost every play in the early 1960s, to great success. The Dolphins won a Super Bowl behind Bob Griese and Earl Morrall, and reached another Super Bowl with Don Strock coming out of the bullpen for David Woodley each game.
