You could but it would be very risky. I have seen games where both quarterbacks were injured and the team had to use a running back to finish the game (Washington/Philadelphia, 1990 ... the 'body bag' game). I can't say that I know every player on every NFL roster but I can't imagine there is a team that carries less than three quarterbacks on their 53 man roster.

6. 3 per team.
Yes, but only quarterbacks and one select team leader on the defense can have one.
Troy Brown caught touchdown passes from six different quarterbacks during his career with the New England Patriots. These quarterbacks are Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady, Vinny Testaverde, Scott Zolak, Chris Simms, and Mike McMahon. Brown's versatility and skill as a receiver allowed him to connect with various quarterbacks throughout his tenure with the team.
Well usually the kicker/punter, or people who have played quarterback in highschool, college, ect.
In the last 10 years, the Oakland Raiders have had several starting quarterbacks, including Derek Carr, who was the primary starter for most of that period. Other quarterbacks who started games during this time include Matt McGloin, E.J. Manuel, and Marcus Mariota. Overall, there have been about five different starting quarterbacks for the team since 2013.
yes, there is no rule against an NFL team having 2 quarterbacks on the field at the same time the only restriction regarding quarterbacks is that the 3rd quarterback cannot play in the game at all unless both of the other 2 quarterbacks are injured and unable to play further in the game

Of course they can. A team in any game must continue playing even if every quarterback is injured. Many teams don't even dress a third quarterback in games. For example I know the Denver Broncos didn't even bring a third quarterback to the super bowls they played in the late 90's. If both quarterbacks got injured in the game wide receiver Rod Smith would have come in at the quarterback position.
There are 3 quarterbacks
There can only be 3 active quarterbacks on an NFL team for each game!!! However the third quaterbacl - cannot play unless the other two are injured during the game. USUALLY - a team will have 2 active quarterbacks for every game - but if either are hurting - they will have a third quarterback - brought up from the practice squad. If they need more - their problem IS NOT the quarterback - it is the offensive line.
