Time To Vote: Packers Mount Rushmore

[mraynrand]

I voted: Lambeau, Lombardi, Favre and Hutson.

The first two are no-brainers. With Lombardi, you have the 60s covered, including all the great players that made the Packer of that era great, including Starr, who deserves tons of credit. Hutson gets the nod just because he embodied the emergent passing attack in pro football, and was so dominant that his 99 TDs held for several decades. There was no one other than Favre to represent the modern revival of the Packers, and their success and his personal records, notwithstanding his own failures during his tenure are just too significant to overlook. Favre represents Harlan, Wolf, Holmgren, McCarthy, and Reggie White (who came because of $$$, Favre, and God, probably in that order). As much as I liked Starr, he also - like Favre - carries the taint of extreme failure due to his coaching (and player personnel) debacles.

Harlan begot Wolf, who begot Holmgren, Favre, White and others leading to a SB winner.
Harlan begot Thompson who begot McCarthy, Rodgers, Matthews and others leading to another SB winner.
Harlan begot the stadium rebuild ensuring the Packers competitive future.
Harlan fostered the coming of Murphy who is building on the new foundation built by Harlan.

If you want representatives of eras, Harlan spans the last two SB winners. Harlan put in place everything necessary to evolve from the frustrating past of the 1980's to the successes of 1990's and 2000's and to enable success in 2010 and beyond.

Favre represents only a small portion of what Harlan did for the Packers.

I agree, for the most part. But Harlan is not listed as a voting choice, so Favre represents him in this case.

I would have voted for Johnny "Blood" McNally if given the choice.

Its a ludicrous exercise this, but let's see of we can get a thread out of it.

PFT takes the fan votes but also selects one themselves. Then, if I am understanding this correctly, the panel of their NBC Sports Network TV show also chimes in. The final result is part of a complicated formula involving past buying habits, a media panel and fractals.
