GOAT Packer QB

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I voted for bert. Win or lose, he was just so much fun to watch. Rodgers is probably better but in a boring sort of way.

Cecil Isbell, baby!

Cecil Isbell -- hmmmm....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Isbell

Former NFL & Green Bay Packers record

Held the NFL record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass with 23 games from 1940 to 1942. (These were the last 23 games of Isbell's career.) The record was later surpassed by Johnny Unitas in 1957 before Drew Brees eclipsed it in 2012. He held the Green Bay Packer record until it was later surpassed by Brett Favre in 2003.


Good company.

Isbell, Arnie Herber, Tobin Rote, even John Hadl.....

Voting fior Starr because he did win a lot; he called the plays because he had a knack for the right play at the right time.

I was a Favre loyalist. Then an “Erin” hater. Then a Rodgers stoic. Today, I idolize the Great Arm of Butte, especially since I found out where he stands on the civic rainbow (hint: far away from Tex).

Much as I now idolize Rodgers, til he wins another ring, Fave will remain the GOAT in my book. The Gunslinger won only a ring, but he single-handily turned around a moribund Packer franchise.

Win another ring, GAB!

Favre didnt single handedly do anything. Reggie signing here did.

No, its gotta be Arnie Herber.

If rings and championships are the measurement then Starr is the GOAT for this franchise. Favre's tendency to throw picks at the worst possible moments is what is keeping me from giving him the nod. Arod is the best pure passer I've seen since Marino so he got my vote.

I can easily overlook Rodgers' politics in favor of what he does on the field - and there, he is simply the greatest of all time. I'm glad to see Favre get some votes, though. I think he is still the GOAT in the NFL - just second GOAT on the Packers.

How many Super Bowl rings is more a product of the team around whoever the QB is.

I have a hunch that the youngest posters (people in their 60s) voted for Arod, the middled aged (70s) went for Favre, and the old folks home went for Starr. Just like with music, people stick with the heros of when they were yutes.

It’s a QB-plagued league. Without Fave, the LA Packers of Anaheim would exist today.

Great pass rushers are nice, but they aren’t saviors. And no fucking way the Majik man was ever gonna save the Packers.

Reverand White was definitely a savior. (I looked it up - he was a Baptist minister.)

My favorite off-field memory of Reggie was his speech to the state legislature where he talked about the gifts of different ethnic groups. Whites have the gift of being good with money. Hispanics have the gift of being able to live together in crowded conditions. The asians are clever and could miniaturize watches and such. I wish I coulda been there to watch the squirming in seats.

From what I’ve read, Starr was a game manager in an era when game managers were still cool. He also played with a bunch of hofmers. A winner, sure, but not the GOAT.

White was the only homer Favre played with in the Green and Gold. The gunslinger saved the franchise. Unless Rodgers wins another ring, Favre’s the GOAT.

He got about the same reception as "Sexual Chocolate"

Reggie had other off-field gifts. The Rev with former Bear (and pack) defensive linemen Steve "Mongo" McMichael (if I 'member correctly)
