Mine is Ray Nitschke. I watched him play on TV, and just loved the guy.
Then I was fortunate enough to meet him back around 1990, and sat and talked with him for about an hour. He made me feel like he knew me forever.
He also let me try on his SB 1 ring.

Next would be Barr Starr. Another class act!

I have 2 Packer jerseys, one has #5 on it, the other one has #66 on. I would have to vote for #5 being the best Packer. If anyone mentions #4, they should be banned.

Starr, Hornung, Nitzsche, Hutson. Go from there.

If he played a 16 game schedule with the softer passing rules now in place his records would still be standing.

Considering the era - Hutson. What he did at that time was amazing and revolutionary. The numbers, especially scoring, were even more amazing than Rice, again considering the times.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I wouldn't be a Packer fan if it wasn't for Favre. I was mostly a CFL guy who would watch the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl. My ex was a NFL fan and when we got together she thought I should pick a NFL team (she was a 49ers fan). Me being true to Canadian form was in awe of this gunslinger chucking balls in a Green Bay snowy game who looked like they played for the Edmonton Eskimos (flashbacks to Warren Moon my first childhood football idol). This was my guy and this was my team.

I know that Brett has done some stuff to disappoint, but if it wasn't for him I could have ended up cheering for some other cold weather team. That would suck ass.

Over the years since I became a fan it is been hard to narrow it down since I like so many guys. Reggie White, Donald Driver, Charles Woodson, and Nick Collins. However, I still say at the end of the day I owe my being a fan to Brett and I am at peace with all the later crap that happened.

Favre was unsure about retirement and GB's Management should bare their fair share of blame for forcing the issue.

Let us not forget that it was Favre that helped lead the Packers back to elite football status. That his iron man record served to inspire many. He earned a place in the HOF and Q-Backed GB to Two SBs (winning one).

My all time favorite Packer, Bart Starr, was so respected that he was hired to be GB's Head Coach for a few years. Let us hope that Aaron Rodgers adds more SB rings to his trophy case before he is done. May his replacement and their transition go a lot smoother. [cool]
