Assuming you are the Packers GM and you have the choice of 2 players and one coach to start off your franchise who would you pick? Players and the coach could be from any era / team / position.

Please explain your picks :thumbright:

Ok, any era eh? Well thats pretty easy.

Coach: Lombardi, no need for explanation here

Players:
1. Bart Starr, Best winning % of any QB in playoffs, in the history of the NFL.
2. Reggie White, Arguably the most dominant defensive player to ever play the game.

I'd have to go with Dan Marino and Jerry Rice, coach: Lombardi

Players:
Tony Mandarich - "Tons" of potential.
TJ Rubley - with a QB rating of 45.1, what's not to like.

Coach:
Toss up between Lindy Infante for his impressive win / loss stats, or Dan Devine and his most demonstrative trading skills.

Thanks

But in retrospect. I have a much better choice for a Packers coach....

Brad Childress!
I mean the man is a Quarterback guru, his ability to adapt to changing situations is unparalleled, and his "kick ass offense" is to be envied throughout the NFL.

I will never forgive Ted Thompson for not hiring Childress when this "greatest" of opportunities was available.

Your owner stole him, just like he tries to steal all of the other talent either from or going to the Packers.

As messed up as this world is, thankfully there is still justice.


Think about it...when the Pack won the Super Bowl the last time, it was referred to as the Lombardi Trophy "coming home.". If Zygy ever gets to hoist one, it will have to be in the privacy of his own home, because he would have undoubtedly stolen that also.

Lombardi
Dick Butkus
Mean Joe Greene

They would straighten the kids out, no matter who those kids turned out to be.

I'd take Bill Walsh as my coach. I know Lombardi is a legend and was one of the greatest ever, but there's something about Walsh that I really like.

As for my players, obviously, you need a good QB. That's a great position to build your franchise around. Joe Montana or Peyton Manning come to mind.

My second player would be Reggie White, I think. I like his versability. He could play 3-4 DE, 4-3 DE, DT and he'd have multiple digits sacks on all of them. Or at least take about half the O-line away in the 3-4. I mean, you could play 1-5-5 around the guy and he'd still get pressure on the QB.

Oh, and just got this in from Pack93. His coach will be Bill Belichick.

EDIT... Twice : Mental lapses while translating 😛

Dan Marino? The QB who collapsed colossally  in the playoffs year after year? Why ever would you pick HIM?
