    Leroy Butler belongs in there.

    Adams, if he signs extension
    Bakhtiari (Sorry Tex)

            Woodson, Sitton, Linsley, Bakhtiari, Matthews, Jenkins, Collins, Rodgers, Jordy, Tae, Jaire

            The last decade those guys have been the best or in the discussion at their position at one time or another.

            As much as I love Cliffy, I don't think that describes him.

              Disagree. Clifton was that good. Should have made more than 2 Pro Bowls. In fact, I don’t think Bakh is appreciably better. And I don’t think Linsley was appreciably better than Frank Winters or Scott Wells.

                Cliftons biggest flaw was that he was a notoriously poor run blocker. Like you couldn't even think about running left.

                  Sitton was probably the best lineman of the last 30 years. He did every kind of block well, especially pass pro.

                    Yep. He was a more natural pass blocker than Bakhtiari, but....

                      I remember Clifton would go toe to toe against Jared Allen or against Peppers with no help and shut them down. Clifton was the better pass protector. But he was stiff and deficient trying to run block.

                        Those year's with Sitton, Lindsley, or Tretter and Lang were special. Rodgers would drop back, step up into a clean pocket, drop back again to let the tackles reset and then step up again, just waiting for dick rod or cobb or someone to come open. That was a truly special line.

                        Bakh/Sitton/Lindsley/Lang/Bulaga

                        Dick rod was the leading receiver that one year when Jordy was down and Adams was injured. I think Cobb had a shoulder too. Still a productive offense with Lacy and no one else at the skill spots.

                          Man that 2014 team is one of the best squads in the FA era. Shoulda won it all.

                            There have been a LOT of good WRs made that way by Favre and Rodgers. I liked Robert Brooks and maybe Antonio Freeman as good or better than Sharpe. Davante Adams may just be better than any of those WRs.

                            One thing that should be clarified: are we talking about "up to now" on the still active guys? Or projecting it out over a career? Aaron Jones, for example, if the likely future is considered, has any RB since 1990 beat. Bakhtiari is the same way - if he comes back and plays at a high level for 5-10 years, he might belong in the 5th to 10th place on that list. If we're projecting that way, though, I'd see Elgton Jenkins' chances better than Bakhtiari. At the same early stage of the career, you could have said the same about Sitton. It also makes a difference if you factor the importance of position into it - and of course, there is plenty of disagreement over that.

                            I concur with the top 3 - Rodgers, Favre, and White in that order head and shoulders above everybody else. Woodson is slightly lower but not much. 4-8 IMO after due consideration would be 4. Ahman Green 5. Clay Matthews 6. Charles Woodson 7. Davante Adams 8. Leroy Butler. That's sum total of performance to the present, no projecting into the future.
                            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                              Dick Rod was 3rd on the team in receiving in 2015 when Jordy was out. They signed James Jones who led the team in receiving, and Cobb was 2nd. He did have his best year with 510 yards and 8 TD's. And it did include the glorious Hail Mary Reception to beat the Lions.
