It's hard for me to pick just 5. I have been blessed in being able to actually meet and talk to quite a few Packer players. That makes it even more hard to choose "only" 5.
But i will at least try,
1. Ray Nitschke. GREAT player, and he sat and talked with me one day, autographed a few things for me, and let me try on his Super Bowl one ring. He treated me like he knew me. He wasn't like alot of star players that won't take time for their fans.
2. Bart Starr. Another guy that treats you like an equal. He doesn't look down at you. I got to work for him at the V. Lombardi golf tourny one year, and he made it a point to call me over and thank me for the good job i did. Just an all around nice guy.
3. Brett Favre. His play on the field made it fun to be a Packer fan again. I wish he would have kept the same attitude he had early on with the fans. Seems to me he lost that once he became a big star.
4. Charles Woodson. I never got to meet him (yet) but he gives everything he's got on the field.

5.Donald Dviver and Greg Jennings. BOTH great players AND great guys!

And the "Magic man" Don Majkowski, he was pretty darn good. And was VERY nice when i got to talk with him.
I could go on and on.

Wow...I'm flabbergasted. I know there is hatred for Favre, but my gosh, he took us to the Superbowl 2x and MVP 3 straight years.

I'm going to say :
Favre
Reggie
Star
Butler
Nitschke

But there could be SO many more. Sharpe, Driver, Ahman Green, Max Mcgee, Chumura, even Edgar Bennett, Jim Taylor. Wow...we have a great list!

Top 5 all-time Packers... That's a tough one.

Willie Davis.
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila.
Reggie White.
Bart Starr.
Aaron Rodgers (Yes, already. Love the efficiency).

I can leave Favre off of that list if I want to. Gbaja-Biamila wasn't one of our best players, either. Donald Driver wasn't our best receiver by far. That's so great about these subjective lists. Otherwise every list had to contain Favre, Starr, Hutson, Nitschke and Canadeo.

From the anti-lists, I see that the Rubley audible made far less of an impact on people around here than I thought.

Although Favre would be on my top five list, to say there's no top five list that couldn't have him is preposterous as it's your opinion. Anyone can have any top five as there ... top five as it is there's and not predicated on your opinion.

Anyhow, picking just five is hard.

Desmond Howard
Greg Jennings
Charles Woodson
Sterling Sharpe
Don Majkowski

Would round out the top five for me ...

Others that would be very close ...
Don Hutson
Brett Favre
Tim Harris
Javon Walker
Ray Nitschke

Edit, Brett can't be on my top five until he's retired from the enemy. 🙂

wow i never even heard of canadeo until now. I'll look him up to see what he did. Seems like he was a great all around player, returns, running, passing. A true team player. Thats what i gathered from his statistics although i dont know anything about him.

I swear I read in the OP that this list was supposed to be the top 5 best Packers, not favorite. In this case, I know why Favre isn't included in the lists.

However, I think it would be interesting to see how people's top 5 best Packers VS top 5 favorite Packers would compare.

You could always read it again. Here, I'll assist you on this endeavor.

I saw someone mention their all-time favorites and figured it would be a fun topic to gauge how the young and the old view their all-time favorite Packers. I'm only 21 so I pretty much only know the 90's teams to now. With that said my favorites are...

1. LeRoy Butler
2. Nick Collins
3. Greg Jennings
4. Reggie White
5. Nick Barnett

1. Reggie White (my dog named after him, big black lab, he sacks the neighbor dogs all the time)
2. Brett Favre (and yes, I'm wearing Wranglers right now, and they fit great)
3. William Henderson (watching him do high hurdles, classic)
4. Chuck Cecil (someone else mentioned blood on Murphy, I can remember wearing my fake nose blood to Lambeau for Chuck)
5. Curly Lambeau (the original Wildcat. Threw the first Packers pass, threw the first touchdown, and kicked the first field goal)

Zero2Cool (9m) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (15h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
