I gave you the worst Packers in the past 40 years last week and now it's time for the best. Here are numbers 25 to 11 (look for the top 10 a week from today): 25] WR Antonio Freeman (1995-2001, 2003) — Talk about underrated. He wasn't the most talented receiver in the league, but fewContinue Reading››

40 years is a long time but probably appropriate for picking the best and worst in the memory of most fans.
Even a fan of my age, I think would have a hard time with that.
Being an anti Ted Thompson fan I find it amusing that the best numbered 25 thru 11, so few are from the Thompson era.
I'm sure that those numbered 10 thru 1 will even that out so as to be politically correct and not ruffle any of the younger fan feathers.
I have to bet that #1 will be Bart Starr.
If not then the whole thing has been an exercise in futility.

Starr retired in 71. That is 45 years ago. He doesn't qualify.

So many good players over the years it is tough to come up with a list.

Top 10 (Not ranked in order.)
Aaron Rodgers (Still has a few years to go before he can be considered all-time best.)
Brett Favre (Could make you love him and hate in in the same breath.)
Reggie White (I wish he would have been in GB for more of his career. I was sorry he left to play elsewhere.)
Charles Woodson (I wish he would have been in GB for more of his career. I didn’t mind his leaving quite as much.)
Sterling Sharpe (I would have loved to have seen him play a full career.)
Lynn Dickey (I have to wonder what he would have been on the more recent teams with the more favorable passing rules.)
James Lofton (He would have shined even brighter in he played today.)
Ahman Green (Most under-rated and under-appreciated Packer.)
John Brockington (even though his best days were before 1976.)
Nick Collins (Another career injury victim.)

Others:
70-80’s
Larry Mc Carren
Mike McCoy
Willie Buchanon
Chester Marcol (My wife’s favorite has to make the list.)
Johnnie Gray
Ezra Johnson
Tim Harris
Greg Koch
Paul Coffman
John Anderson (How can you not love a LBer who kicks a FG and PAT even though his form was butt ugly.)

90’s
LeRoy Butler
Earl Dotson
Dorsey Levens
Marco Rivera
Gilbert Brown (More love than skill.)
Frank Winters
Robert Brooks
William Henderson (I wanted him in the top 10. Just couldn’t do it. I loved his work ethic.)
Adam Timmermann
Antonio Freeman

2000’s
Chad Clifton (Deserves top 10 consideration. Hard for linemen to get the accolades.)
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila ( A bit of a one trick pony but what a trick. He would fair better in the new more specialized defensive schemes.)
Mason Crosby
Clay Matthews 3
Donald Driver
Jordy Nelson
Aaron Kampman
Al Harris
Josh Sitton maybe
HaHa C-D might make the list in a few years.
