Brodie has always been a good quarterback," said Nolan. "Last season he was a great one. The 49ers were a better ball club, stronger in almost every department. But it was John's consistency that brought us the divisional championship. "He was the leading passer in the League with 59 per cent of his passes completed.

He also threw more touchdown passes and had fewer interceptions than anyone else. I'm delighted that he's finally getting the recognition he's deserved for so long."

Brodie put the situation in proper perspective just before the season ended last December, confirming what knowing experts had said about him. "The highest tribute that can be paid a quarterback," said Tom Landry, coach of the Dallas Cowboys, "is to be able to say that he strikes a little fear into whatever defensive team he faces. Brodie does that. marvel at the way he now has mastered the art of quarterback." "When John Brodie is hot," said Merlin Olsen, the demon defender of the Los Angeles Rams, "He's the best quarterback there is." Brodie was hot against Oakland last December and he bombed the Raiders dizzy as San Francisco romped to a 38-7 victory.

The ululations of the howling wolves who once inhabited Kezar Stadium stands have ceased. They now cheer John Riley Brodie. Henceforth they may even cheer him louder as prejudices vanish before the grudging realization that this nogodnik they have been booing may be the best quarterback in the business. WP Siebert. 2:21.
