Redrafting the NFL by region

It just seems cruel that the Saints get to the first Super Bowl in team history and have to square off against Peyton Manning, a hometown boy who might be the best QB of the last decade. That got me to think what the NFL might look like if you could only draft local talent.

Here's a look at the starting QBs (and backups) for every NFL team if they looked no further than their own backyards. For some it would be a short search; For others (thanks Broncos) they'd have to search much, much farther away.
