Favre was a choker. Give me Bart Starr any day when time is winding down and the playoffs are on the line.

Hutson dominated like no other ever has or will regardless of what position they play. even more that he was a pretty good corner as well.

but I don't know any other player that was on Hutsons level when you compare to the rest of the league.

Hutson
Starr
Taylor/Hornung


the rest I have a really hard time putting in order.

IMO if we remove Favre's turd years, Rodgers still has some catching up to do.

but he'll get it.

I've omitted the non Packers team years for Favre when thinking of greatest Packers player of all time. So, Falcons, Jets and Vikings seasons mean nothing to me in regards to Brett Favre.

I reckon it is how one looks at the Packers and what they represent to the individual Packer Fan as far as who "The Greatest Is." There is no doubt ever player mentioned in every response above is valid.

When I think of Green Bay I think of smash-mouth football. That is the first thing that pops in my mind, even though now for many youngin Packer fans they associate the team with precision passing and a remarkable scoring machine.

For me.. Ask me in a bar over a pint of beer, and the first name that will roll off my lips is ole Number 66.

Ray was ruthless, barbarous, and the reincarnation of Attila The Hun every Sunday. HOWEVER.. The nicest, kindhearted, gentle man from Monday to Saturday. He was "The original Packer People Person, before the term "Packer People" was born.

Every Sunday Ray would take it out on every player on the other team that his parents died when he was 13 years old, and he never had a Mom and Dad per say. He channeled that anger one day a week during the football season. Then he left that anger there for six days and became the nicest guy... until the next game.

I would say Ray Nitschke. Although ever other player mentioned above is just as valid.

I just learned something about Ray Nitschke. Thanks. I think he would be in the discussion for sure.

Yeah it was amazing to read about the things Ray did for others and then think about how he could be a cold blooded killing machine on Sundays.
I got a few glimpses into his nature after his career was over.

Reggie White was pretty good!!!! :)

Reggie doesn't come to Green Bay, do the Packers build a championship team?

Never saw Don Hutson play , but will put him at the top with Bart Starr. 1A and 1B

Zeke Bratkowski on Bart Starr "Off the field he is the nicest man in the world, put him on the field facing a defernse with a 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 and he will cut it's heart out and show it to them"
Not an exact quote, but pretty close.

Ray Nitshke never had turf toe!!! I'll put him and Reggie at 2A and 2B.

Tough to say where to put the Packers of the 20's - 50's, I am sure there are guys who deserve being in the top 10, but never having seen them play, I'll leave that up to The historians.

Gotta put Brett at #5, no matter what happened late in his career, for 16 years he played some of the best football in Packer history.

Aaron Rodgers is work in progress, hopefully he will shoot to the top by the time he is done, 4 more championships and a couple more mvp's and that should do it.

I just don't like him as a playoff QB.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
