I realize two are safeties and one a CB. But just in terms overall contribution to the team, overall coolness, etc.?

I would probably still pick Willie Wood.

But Woodson is closer every day on the "overall contribution" standard. (He's clearly number one when it comes to "cool".)

Butler to me would be a distant third.

Maybe even fourth (fifth) behind Herb Adderley and Willie Buchanon.

Woodson hands down one of my favorite Packers on the team,He works his ass off every game even if he is hurt or a little banged up he makes plays. 😉

---

A distant third for Butler?? Man!! Reggie and the line got all the accolades, but in my humble opinion it was Butler who made that defense run at the fevered pitch it did.

Coin toss between Woodson and Butler.

---

I never got to watch Herb Adderley live, but I think he was probably the best ever to roam our secondary. I seen enough to think the guy was blazing fast and did amazing things.

---

His only failing was that he got traded to Dallas and helped them win rings. Wasn't his fault that he was traded, of course, but still.

Let's not fault Adderley for the business parts of football. He did say this:



Back to the original, I don't judge anyone before 1976. I'm too young, and didn't see them play.

I will say that we have two Hall of Famers in Charles Woodson and LeRoy Butler.

Woody I've made arguments for the Hall and the longer he plays, the more likely he'll make it.

Butler deserves to go as well. 4 time All-Pro, 4 time Pro Bowl, invented the Lambeau Leap, first DB in NFL's history to be part of the 20/20 club (20 INTs, 20 sacks). He was on the NFL's 1990 All-Decade Team as well. Heck of a player.

I know everyone seems to hate the guy, but Darren Sharper is going to the Hall of Fame. He's been an All Pro 5 times, 5 time Pro Bowler, 61 INTs so far, and 11 INTs returned for TDs as well as being on the 2000s All-Decade Team.

Let's not forget our very own Nick Collins though. Nick has been spectacular the past few seasons, earning a 2nd Team All-Pro spot each year. He's only 27 and may have a good career in front of him.

I can't comment on the guys in the 60s. I knew they were great. They're Hall of Famers. I'll keep to talking about the ones today. Between Sharper, Butler, Woody, and Collins, I think Woody's the best of the four.

---

wait. Wood just came off his best year ever. he IS in his prime. also, i choose him.

---

For me, it's down to Woodson or Butler. I didn't see Willie Wood play.

I would take Woodson probably because he's a bigger playmaker but Butler is worthy too. I agree that Butler should be in the Hall of Fame one day.

---

same for me. but that's a pretty easy choice ......... both :bigsmurf:
