But the most under-appreciate Packer of the '60s may have been someone else altogether. A man I have argued about for years, who is just now receiving some appreciation as a result of Starr's comments a few years ago. An offense filled with HOF'ers like Gregg, Starr, Hornung and Taylor, and widely recognized and appreciated all-pros like Ringo, Thurston, R. Kramer, J. Kramer, McGee, Dale and Dowler, was captained by Bob Skoronski, a guy even many Packer fans quickly forgot. Funny thing is, if you ask many Packer fans who protected Starr's blind side, they will say Forrest Gregg; but it was Bob Skoronski, perhaps the least recognized and least remembered of the starters on offense under Lombardi.
