No...just as I wouldn't put a statue of Starr or Hutson or any other former Packer player in front of Lambeau.

Favre's statue will be in Canton in 5 years. I think that is plenty good enough.

I'd be fine with it. There will be something. We have Lambeau Field, Hutson Center, and Nitschke Field (and others).

But those arn't statues. No statue, but if they wnat to name something in honor of Brett, Im all for it.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I have no problem with the statue. With the state this franchise was in when he got here, he's been as important as anybody to the franchise in the last 40 years. Who says they have to stay with 2 statues? Put a statue of Brett at the south entrance to Lambeau. You could put Bart up at the same time.

[Freak Out]

Favre was the face of this Franchise for damn near all of his career and I would be fine with it. He may not be fine with it but I think most Packer fans are.

IMO, getting his number retired and his name in the Ring of Honor to me is the highest honor that can be given to him by Green Bay, and it should be enough at Lambeau Field. Quite a few GB HOF legends do not have these things. A lot of winning football and a lot of titles (11) happened in a span of over 70 years before Brett ever came to GB. One player should not be recognized above all the others at hallowed Lambeau Field. Somewhere else in GB or near the field, absolutely.

Brett said as much in his retirement speech today. He wanted proper recognition for all of his achievements, records, and numbers to reflect on THE TEAM, not just him.

Speaking of statues, I heard a Fonzy statue is going to be installed near the Rock Bottom Brewery on Milwaukee's Riverwalk.

[PackerBlues]

Nah, no need for the statue. They should just rename the stadium Favre Field.

I agree.

Lambeau and Lombardi are on an entirely different level in terms of the franchise. Lambeau was the force behind the very founding of the team, and Lombardi's success ultimately is what preserved the financial success of the team long term after several close calls prior to his arrival.

Guys like Starr, Hutson, Favre...they are great players and deserving of recognition in other ways. Favre has a steakhouse across the street, and if a statue is erected there, great.

However, we don't need 12 statues outside of Lambeau Field. Lambeau and Lombardi are good enough.

They have. BRETT FAVRE PASS street next to Lambeau Field.

I wouldn't mind seeing a statue just like Bart Starrs in front of the Onieda Gate enterence (Flat side of the stadium). Nothing big, but something people can see, touch, enjoy. Call it Favre Plaza.

It's lame. That "street" is like one block long and goes next to his restaurant.

i'm with the group that would be for a statue

i was a pack fan growing up for 14 years before brett came here

we sucked, bad

none of the last 16 years would have happened without brett, we might still be sucking hind tit behind the other 3 in our sucky division.

and a single individual, i think he's the greatest and most important single player in packer history

right now you have 3 distinct great eras in packer history

and early lambea era, the classic lombardi era, and the favre era

i think we're all spoiled right now, a lot. those other two are legends, gods, the greats from history. brett is a guy who just got done playing. i think history will proof how great a player he was

That's what I was thinking. At one gate you put Favre, at another Starr, at another White, etc.
