...scrambler in the mold of the New York Giants' Fran Tarkenton, Manning can pick out a receiver in a crowd of defenders and hit him with a pinpoint pass. He has the height to see over mountainous linemen and the speed (10.2 sec. for the 100-yd. dash) to turn the ends for long gainers. Beyond that, he possesses that rare quality that marks all great quarterbacks: the instinct to call the right play at the right time...

I think about Homer Jones, 220 lbs. of black thunderbolt streaking at a rate of 9.3 sec. per 100 yds. down a football field. Or about Dick Butkus, that splendid savage of a middle linebacker, actually biting an opponent's nose during a pileup. Or about four massive linemen in purple shirts named Eller, Page, Larsen and Marshall, holding off the mighty Los Angeles Rams three...
