Louisiana - Home Of Super Bowl Qb's !!!

[baseballdave]

I just got an email from a friend that said Louisiana might have the most QB's to ever play in a Super Bowl from one state. Don't know if it is true but out of 82 possible QB's in Super Bowls, Louisiana has had 7 starters and 1 who took snaps at QB. If any one knows different, let me know.

Starters - Terry Bradshaw, David Woodley, Stan Humphries, Jake Delhomme, Doug Williams, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. Kordell Stewart took some snaps with Pittsburgh as a "slash" player. Also on rosters but didn't play was Bubby Brister and Norris Weese.

Damn, and the Saints haven't been to a Super Bowl yet !!
