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.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
