Many people we have contacted are surprised that Brodie is not already in the Pro Football Hall of fame because of his awesome stats as a football player.  In his seventeen year career with the San Francisco 49ers, John Brodie was one of the foremost quarterbacks in football.  A quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers from 1957 through 1973,  a 17 year run, John Brodie threw for 31,548 yards and tossed 214 TDs in 201 career games. He appeared in the Pro Bowl in 1965 and 1970. He was named NFL/NFC’s Most Valuable Player in 1970.

What do fans, friends, and colleagues think, that John Brodie is a great player and great man.  Check out their opinions.    http://johnbrodieforfootballhalloffame.bravehost.com/fancomments.html

His statistics clearly show him to be worthy of the honor of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a football player and John Brodie is more than worthy of such an honor. He was among the leading passers in the league throughout the 1960s. His best statistical year was 1965 when he led the League in passing average (3,112 yards) and 30 touchdowns. When John Brodie retired from the NFL, he ranked third in the NFL in career passing yards.

"22 years before Joe Montana and Bill Walsh, QB's called their own plays. Like Unitas, Brodie's style very much differed from the rest of the NFL's run the ball to win approach. The 49ers were a passing team long before the arrival of Walsh and Montana. It was Brodie's style of play calling which confused defenses that attracted me to the 49ers back in the 60's. The 49ers made the game of football more than running over, around and through the opposition. Not that they didn't have great runners. They in fact had too many at the same time in the late 50's. The 49ers made the game an art. They made it beautiful. Brodie was part of a tradition that later established itself as one of the greatest of the game. The "West Coast Offense" had it's roots in the pre Walsh era of 49er football. "
