In the world of professional sport there is always comparison among
athletes: player X is better than plpayer Y; that guy's overrated; no
way is that guy as good as my guy is, just look at the numbers.
But what about the underrared ones? For 49er fans it's clear that

Interesting article. I'd say Brodie is the least appreciated. After
Montana and then Young (post- his superbowl win that is) Brodie kinda became
"John Who?" except amongst longer term fans. I'd also say that Garcia needs

The saga of John Brodie is certainly worthy of at least
a cheesy TV movie. Thrown into the pit when Red Hickey
decided that he didn't like Y.A. Tittle. Being the
"passing one" in the shotgun trioka with Watters and
Kilmer. Getting replaced by George Mira, having a big
bucks AFL contract voided by the merger, then getting
it reinstated. Watching the Niners draft Spurrier as
"the QB of the future" in 68.

However, having said all of that he is not as underrated
as Young. I think that Steve is the best QB in NFL
history, and most don't even think that most consider him
the best for the Niners.
