James J. Bogdan describes himself as "just a fan" who over his lifetime has seen the rise of an unbelievable number of great college and professional quarterbacks from the relatively small area of Western Pennsylvania. From George Blanda to Johnny Unitas to Joe Montana among others, Bogdan describes the exploits of these famous signal callers and dedicates his book to the offensive linemen-the "grunts"-who made it possible for the quarterbacks to achieve their level of importance. Inclusive, thorough, and fun to read.
