Super Bowl thread...

How clutch is Eli Manning? Pretty clutch. Twice he takes a team as a wild card through the playoffs winning 3 games on the road in January and winning a Super Bowl they are not favored to win in. All the hemming and hawing about him not being an elite quarterback can be flushed down the toilet. Pretty impressive. Stamped his bust in Canton.

Both are excellent numbers.

You're correct...almost felt like the East winner was a wild card team. Still 2 games on the road in January is still pretty good.

Even better trivia question...can you name all the Super Bowls where the two STARTING quarterbacks were from the same state?

You forgot Norris Weese (Broncos Super Bowl 12) & David Woodley (Dolphins Super Bowl 17)

Quarterbacks born in California have won 10 SB with 4 different QB
Quarterbacks born in Pennsylvania have won 9 SB with 4 different QB
Quarterbacks born in Louisiana have won 8 SB with 4 different QB
Quarterbacks born in Ohio have won 5 SB with 3 different QB

Missed one....

[wcd35]

III almost counts Unitas vs Namath both from PA but Unitas didnt start

[MelRock]

I have checked again, I am pretty confident I am correct. If as wcd35 says III, I agree not close enough. Unitas did not start and the question was “STARTING quarterbacks”

Missed one....
