In the interest of perspective, let's give a concerted shoutout to three NorCal quarterbacks in the NFL's version of the Final Four: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and a newcomer to the post-season fiesta, Josh Allen. One might argue with the inclusion of the Firebaugh Flash due to the limitations of geography. But, if you study a map of the Golden State with care, you will note that, yes, the tiny farming hamlet of Firebaugh is 60 or so miles directly east of Hollister. If Hollister is a NorCal entity, then Firebaugh, Allen's hometown, has to lie in the northern half of the state as well. In that case, only Patrick Mahomes hails from outside NorCal. Hey, three out of four ain't bad. We'll take credit wherever we can get it.

It is pretty cool. This area has produced some dudes. Not a QB, but we also have maybe the best receiver in football with Davante Adams.

Funny story on NorCal line. I was explaining to someone what I did for NCP while at Chico State and when I said "NorCal" they thought it was Chico, Redding, Paradise, etc. I said, no it goes all the way down to Hollister. Person shook their head and said, "That's weird." All that to say, the NorCal line is ever changing.
 
I draw the line at Fresno. Socal can claim that dump and all the rest down to the border.

My wife is from Redding originally and she always corrects me when I say I’m from NorCal, she’s like no you are from the Bay Area I’m from NorCal

Nobody wants to claim the Bay Area just like Fresno, Lol.
