Found it interesting that Bart Starr was known for taking deep shots when it was 3rd and 1. I wonder how of the Bart lovers who complain about Aaron Rodgers doing the same thing realize that.

Far from the same thing.

I'm shocked that Paul Hornung wasn't on that list. I'm gonna limit this to Packers since I started following the team about 1954. Obviously Don Hutson should be on the list, and probably several others who I only heard of by reputation, but whatever. The basis of my choices is what they meant to the team winning games - difference makers. I tended to discount shortness of career with the Packers as a factor.

1. Aaron Rodgers

2. Brett Favre

3. Bart Starr

4. Ray Nitschke

5. Reggie White

6. Paul Hornung

7. Jim Taylor

8. Willie Davis

9. Herb Adderley

10. Forest Gregg

Man, this is hard to limit it to ten. Jerry Kramer should be in there, maybe several WRs, maybe Ted Hendricks, Willie Wood, Clay Matthews, Lynn Dickey, Tobin Rote, etc.

I should have included Reggie.

I'm not even going to attempt a list of this sort. Its like trying to find the 10 best pennies that make up a dollar, there an awful lot of them that are pretty damned equal.

Of the original list Lofton is the one that surprises me most. Not that he wasn't great and doesn't deserve it and he is one of my all time favorite players as well, its just that so many good players were left off, the two Willies come to mind since they were both mentioned in subsequent posts.

You could probably extend this to the top 20 or 25 and even the guys at the bottom of that list would have arguments for the top 10.

1.Don Hutson-what he did in his era makes Rice look average and Hutson played both ways
2.Forrest Gregg-I'll go with Lombardi saying he's the best player he ever coached
3.Ray Nitschke-One of the 2-3 best middle LBs ever
4.Reggie White-Considering his entire body of work with Pack time
5.Herb adderley-Shut down corner, threat to intercept with big return, and outstanding tackler
6.Bart-Couldn't decide, one won more championships one much more talented
6.Brett
8.Jim Taylor-If not for Jim Brown,Taylor would have been in a class by himself
9.Willie Wood-Played the run and pass equally well and returned punts leading the league
10.Willie Davis-If not for Gino Marchetti(sp) would have been the top DE in his day

Coach- Lombardi-Best ever

Honorable Mention-Henry Jodan, Jerry Kramer, Gale Gillingham, James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, Paul Hornung, Johnny Blood

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

It might be fun to do a top 5 at each position.

I don't know how you narrow it down to 10 total players.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔
dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
