Black QB's in NFL (past or present)

Hey guys, my son's doing a research paper to finish up the year. He's doing it on black athletes who have broken the racial barriers in sports (ie: Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, etc) and his conclusion is going to include barriers that still need to be broken and he wants to do a little on football (as that's his favorite... god do I raise good ones lol). So I was thinking of an interesting tidbit, if we could think of a few teams...
There any teams who don't or haven't had African-American QB's play on their squad (actually play, not just benched)? There are teams who have had several, but I'm only going to name one for each, help me fill in the slots guys!
Cowboys- Randall Cunningham
Giants-
Eagles- McNabb
Redskins- Doug Williams
Bears- Kordell (going to be)
Lions- Rodney Peete
Green Bay-
Vikings- Culpepper
Falcons- Vick
Panthers- Peete
Saints- Brooks
Buccs- Shaun King
Cardinals- Jeff Blake (going to be)
Rams- Tony Banks
Niners-
Seahawks- Warren Moon
Bills-
Dolphins- Ray Lucas
Patriots- Michael Bishop
Jets- Ray Lucas
Ravens- Tony Banks
Bengals- Akili Smith
Browns-
Steelers- Kordell
Texans- Nope
Colts-
Jags- Byron Leftwich (will eventually)
Titans- McNair
Broncos-
Chiefs- Warren Moon
Raiders- Vince Evans
Chargers-
------
I know I'm missing some obvious ones, and I'll feel completely dumb when you tell me... but help us out

The first NFL black QB was Willie Thrower. He played in 1953. (one game) He came in to relieve GEORGE BLANDA. Went 3 for 8.
Second black QB did not come until 15 YEARS later with Marlin Briscoe.
He is the link to the article:

Oops! To make it worse, I even read that sentence! I'm just a bit  bleary-eyed! Finally, finished 6+-months of studying for my "big" day tomorrow about an hour and a half ago.  Funny thing here, though, physically, I'm kind of falling apart; my ears keep ringing (literally, not figuratively in relation to the "goings-on" here), of all things; they have been for like two days now. People say I'm stressin'! I'm just takin' aspirin and hopin' it subsides. It's really bad, though. I can't get good sleep! I'll be fine tomorrow, however! VERY prepared!   Well, anyway, at least I added a source in my post!
