Jake Plummer, QB for the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos between 1997 and 2006, holds the record for most career tackles by a QB with 20. Statistics are available starting in 1994.
Tackles are typically measured by the number of times a defensive player successfully stops the offensive player with the ball. A tackle is counted when a player physically brings down the opponent with possession of the ball to the ground. Stats like total tackles, solo tackles, and assisted tackles are commonly used to track a player's defensive performance.

Sorta. Kickers/Punters don't make as much as QB's. Also different positions on the field vary in salary. Such as Left Offensive Tackles make more than a center.
When a defensive player tackles a quarterback behind the line of scrimmage as he is trying to throw the football .... that is called a sack.
Tedy Bruschi lead the 2007 New England Patriots in tackles.
In American Football one tackles a player. In Association Football (soccer) one tackles the ball.

The rule is that tackles at and above the neck are dangerous and therefore illegal. However, because of the nature of the shirts used it is not unexpected that players will grasp the collar of the opposing player when making tackles and therefore is accepted.
