By it's size (population), Louisiana is only about 2% of the population of this country. However, it accounts for more than 10% of the QBs in the league. There are currently 8 QBs born in LA and 2 more that went to college in the state playing pro ball. At least 3 and maybe as many as 5 will start this season. Who are they? I'll tell ya:

From LA
------------------
Matt Mauck
Rohan Davey
Eli Manning
Peyton Manning
Tim Rattay
Kordell Stewart
Patrick Ramsey
Jake Delhomme

Schooled in LA
-----------------
JP Lossman
Shawn King

That's pretty impressive if you ask me.

One other thing - Aaron Brooks is from Virginia! LMAO! :)

If Kordell Stewart doesn\'t scream \"QB Heaven\", not sure what will

Side note: the above comment would come off alot better if there was an option for an indifferent smiley. Any chance we could have one added? You know, one that\'s just there, not frowning, not smiling...just there, kinda like saintfan <boom-shaka-laka> :P

Hey man, I saw Kordell at Ehret. He was damn good then. :)
I also played against two Manning boys - Peyton was REAL REAL good. I still hate him for what he did to us.

Put Tim Rattay in the \"Schooled in Louisiana\" category....He\'s not from here originally....I believe it\'s Arizona, but I\'m not postive on that.

Edit: After a bit of research, I found out that Tim Rattay is originally from Elyria, Ohio.

Really?? I thought Rattay was born up-state somewhere around Shreveport. You learn something new everyday I guess. Thanks for \"straightenin\' me out\" D.

I think it\'s more a matter of where they play college ball. Southern College Ball. What about all of the great QB\'s in NFL history, not only from La., but from the SEC? Bart Starr and Joe Namath, and was\'nt Bradshaw from La. too and what about Favre from Ms.? I know you guy\'s can come up with alot more, help a brotha out?

Hey WhoDat, what was your team\'s record during your high school career?

Another former NFL QB was Bert Jones from good ol\' Ruston, Louisiana. \"The Ruston Rifle\" also played college ball at LSU and went on to a decent career with the Colts. Who can forget Bobby Hebert and Billy Joe Tolliver?

CheramieIII 08-15-2004 02:23 PM

Hye D, I can\'t believe I forgot about Bert and Bobby, did\'nt mean too. I did\'nt want to remember Tolliver, from when he played for us anyway.

Thanks for the info!!!

Then of course there was Doug Williams, as well. Stan Humphries is also from Louisiana.

I completely forgot one that just played last night against the Seahawks...Doug Pederson. He is from Monroe and played college ball at ULM when they actually had a decent program. Another Monroe native and ULM alum is Bubby Brister.

Jeez guys - I was citing CURRENT QBs...

Nope, not Landry. ;)

PS - anyone see Lossman tear it up in his first preseason game?

This just goes to show you, WhoDat. Louisiana is now and has always been a hotbed for QB\'s directly or indirectly from Louisiana. What else do you expect from a state that is known for being hardcore football oriented? I\'d also like to add John Fourcade to the list. LOL.
