Do you think it's possible in the NFL if the QB doesn't throw an INT all season?

Anything is possible.
The fewest thrown by a full time starting QB in a 16 game season is 4.
Put the right QB in the right style of offense and who knows what type of records can be broken.
John Unitas' record of throwing a TD pass in 47 consecutive games was thought to be unbreakable. Brees and Brady broke that mark in 2013 and Peyton Manning has an ongoing streak of 39 (regular season only).

There's always a CHANCE that a quarterback will not throw a single interception all season, but it's just not likely. Bad throws, tipped balls, balls that get ripped out of receivers hands...it's possible to not throw an interception but it's not likely for a quarterback that plays the majority of the season.

Yes, quarterbacks like Nick Foles (who threw only 2 interceptions) and Josh McCown (who threw only one) came very close to doing so this past season.
A quarterback only needs to pass the ball 224 times over the course of 16 games, for it to count as an official season. Tom Brady, who threw 335 passes without being intercepted during the final 11 games of the 2010 NFL season, holds the record for most passes thrown without an interception.

Not with the increasing talent in the secondary nowadays. Cornerbacks, safeties, and even linebackers are becoming too smart for a starting QB not to throw a pick at least once.

its possible but very improbable... especially since an interception doesnt have to be the QBs fault. ive seen plenty of interceptions be the results of a perfect pass get bobbled by a reciever.

Not if he is a starter or at least starts most of the games. They throw the ball so much now there is no way.

Maybe if the team rushes for four yards on first down to set up a manageable 2nd and 6.

It's very unlikely because the game has become more of a passing game and gotten away from the run game being dominant

It's very possible. My teams starting QB Brandon "The Great" Weeden did it this year. And will probably do it again next year.

Plenty of third stringers do that every year. But a full time, perennial starter? Not in my lifetime.
