All quarterbacks have this no matter if they are starters or the 3rd backup. It also doesn't matter what network they play on, ESPN,NFL,CBS,FOX,NBC, or CBS and it doesn't matter if its night time or day games.

Technically, it doesn't have to be the quarterback. The green dot is what the league uses to signify helmets that are radio equipped. They are doing this because only one radio helmet on the offensive team can be on the field at one time. It is just that all teams use QB's as the person who calls the play in the huddle, so they are the one who is radio equipped.
Basically, the green dot on a helmet means that helmet has radio equipment in it, and can hear the coach.

It's to signify that these helmets have a radio device used to communicate with their coaches on the sideline.

I think it's to help the officials in identifying the QB's in applying rules.

I think those are the ones with a radio in it, to communicate with the coach.
