    So naming the most hallowed stadium in the league after him isn't enough? What other NFL player/coach has a stadium named after them? I think that is plenty of honor enough.

    Now, if the naming rights are ever sold for some moronic reason...then I'm fine with honoring Lambeau with a retired number.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

      The best solution to this question is to stop retiring numbers all together.

        Here was the question again.

        If the Packers were to retire more numbers, which one or two players do you think are most deserving the honor (excluding Brett because he'll have his number retired shortly)?

            None. I thought I made that clear in my post.

                      I think of Woodson as a Raider, White as an Eagle and Favre as a Packer.


                      Just how I picture them.

                        I don't think Reggie's number should be retired either. It would be nice to retire them all, but you have to be selective. 5 or 6 years isn't enough for me. It's gotta be darn near a full career of top level play.

                          To me, Rodgers is top candidate.

                          Jennings has long odds, but the start (numbers-wise) to a near HOF career. Matthews has a shot. After that, who knows what kind of career guys like Sitton and Bulaga will have. GB is high profile now. They could be 9 time probowlers.

                          To actually retire a number. . . . I'd guess at AR and AR only.

                            I'm not sure AR will get retired--not yet. Not unless he pulls in another Super Bowl (or two) and two or three more MVPs. It seems to me that the Packers retire the legends of the legends. Maybe I'm putting my personal spin on it, but that's the slice I see. Bart Starr had five championships and legendary moments; Favre has the longevity and high performance as well as legendary moments; I don't see that for Rodgers yet. He could get there, but it seems incredibly premature to say "retired number". In this passing age, he's got to be amazing over several years.
                            No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                              Woodson might very well play more games as a Packer than as a Raider. He should exceed his Raider's total this year, the football gods of good health willing.

                                Yeah, people need to realize you can't retire the number of every Hall Of Fame player. Well, maybe if you're the Lions you can. But the Packers can't.
