Allen will be great in the trenches as usual. QB will be good too. I expect Allen to win almost easily, not many teams can hang with their depth.

They'll rotated several players throughout the game at defensive line, and the team is always well-balanced. Good offense, very good defense, good special teams, etc.

You're flat out wrong. Louisiana produces the most. Look it up. Mobile produces more per capita than any City I found out. That was the only thing I found about Alabama. Louisiana still is the 1 state for players per capita. Alabama was number 4. It's not overrated when it's the truth.

I guess I'm wrong then. I just remember reading that article about a year ago. I guess Bama has cranked out a few more draft picks since then. La isn't overrated though. no state in the south is.

Missippi, Lousiana, Alabama, and South Carolina have all held that distinction within the last decade. People from Lousiana are the only one's to beat their chest about it.

For some reason they feel as if because a player comes from LA he is gifted with magical football powers.

I don't know...

Instead of limiting your sample size to 1 year, I think Louisiana's all-time number of pros at 833 compared to Alabama's 673 is fairly telling.

I guess because La's produces a lot of hall of fame type of guys. Other states have as well too though.

The numbers are inaacurate and are over the course of 80 years. 100 or so more players over 80 years is a small blip.

Nothing to suggest that LA is some football mecca compared to the rest of the gulf coast or deep south states.

Texas>all

But, Louisiana > Alabama.

Nonbiased opinion. Not only do they put out more, they put out better players.

There is literally a link in the thread showing that Louisiana has produced over 160+ more players over the history of professional football.

How about this, you rattle of the top 10 professional players from Alabama. We'll get someone from Louisiana to do the same and compare the two.

Off the top of my head:

John Hannah
Ken Stabler
Bo Jackson
Walter Jones
Ozzie Newsome
John Stallworth
Buck Buchanan
Bart Starr
Andre Triplett
Julio Jones

So 7 hall of famers, Julio Jones, Bo Jackson, and Ken Stabler. Go head

The numbers from that link were already proven to be inaccurate.

AL players would beat LA currently and all-time.

I'm from Texas. That said, the ones I can rattle off real quick are:

Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
Marshall Faulk
Ed Reed
Terry Bradshaw
Reggie Wayne
Alan Faneca
Charles Joiner
Kordell Stewart
John Henry Johnson
Fred Dean
Aaenas Williams


Maybe someone from Louisiana can fill in or omit and replace some.
