Anyone who said that Brett's play the last few years has tarnished his legacy and standing on the all time great list will probably be forced to rethink their position. A MVP trophy doesn't necessarily put him at the top of the all time great list, but a Lombardi trophy might - especially if he's clearly the best player on the team at age 38. Did anyone else towards the top of that list dominate this late in their career?
Superbowl talk should seem crazy for this team. They've come from nowhere with a roster full of no-names and one icon previously relegated to has been status by nearly everyone not bleeding green and gold on Sundays. But with the recent hint of a running game, do the Packers have a glaring weakness? It might still be far fetched, but it’s no longer lunacy to think that this Packer team has a shot at a World Championship.
Even if we go into the tank down the stretch, this year has been incredibly special because of what the team has accomplished in the first 9 weeks. Maybe that’s because we were already all but eliminated by week 5 of the previous 2 seasons. This white hot start has given every Green Bay fan what we always wanted for Brett - a fighting chance to scribe the perfect story book ending.
