42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII: #5 - Giants to Start Fourth Super Bowl QB

The 42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII is a series that will feature stories, stats and interesting trivia that you can use to act smart as you prepare for Super Bowl XLII.

Eli Manning will be the fourth different quarterback to start a Super Bowl for the New York Giants ... tying a record.

Super Bowl XXI: Phil Simms started against Denver
Super Bowl XXV: Jeff Hostetler started against Buffalo
Super Bowl XXXV: Kerry Collins starter against Baltimore
Super Bowl XLII: Eli Manning will start against New England.

The results of these guys have gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. Simms completed 22 of his 25 passes for 268 yards and 3 TDs. On the other end, Collins competed just 15 of 39 passes for a measly 112 yards ... and four interceptions.

The Giants aren't the only team to have four different starting QBs. See after the jump.

Washington - Billy Kilmer, Joe Theismann (twice), Doug Williams and Mark Rypien
Oakland - Daryle Lamonica, Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett (twice) and Rich Gannon
