Best Packer players since 1990??

[Bretsky]

I think Sterling would have been in top 10 of all time without injuries. Most likely top 5. Maybe the top

I know this was before the 90's, but for my money James Lofton was as good as Sharpe. A different kind of receiver, but quite good.

And as for the best players since the 90's, where is my man Wayne Simmons??

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, I forgot about Lofton. He was great, and I prefer his kind of stretch the field type receiver.

Another one nobody mentioned, but if we're including short Packer careers, there was hardly anybody better as a LB than the Mad Stork, Ted Hendricks ...... oops, never mind, I see he played long before 1990. Lofton, BTW, left Green Bay in the '80s also.

Never gets old.

Sharpe vs Lofton is a good argument for best modern day WR in Packers history. Lofton was like Moss, but in a different era. Tall, world class athlete. Sharpe could do it all—including stretching the field. If I had to choose, I’d pick Sharpe by the narrowest of margins.

As I recall, he only played for the Packers for one year, but it was a helluva year. I'd have to agree with you on this one, Tex - Hendricks was like Too Tall Jones but at the linebacking position, and he really wreaked havoc on opponents. But I think he wanted lots of money and did not want to play in Green Bay.

Okay, it's one thing to post lazy shit on a fan board like this, but another to post a YouTube video of Ted Hendricks highlights and put on there that he was #82 for Oakland when in every frame he's number 83 in the Raider uniform.

But still, you get a sense of how effective he was. A damn good linebacker, and it's too bad Bart Starr didn't realize how poor his own drafting was, so that when Bart refused to give a big guaranteed contract to the Mad Stork, and then traded him away for two first-rounders, he'd end up drafting Ezra "Hot Dog" Johnson and Mediocre Mark Koncar.

Bart was not cut out to be a GM. And maybe not even a head coach.

The thing about Sharpe that is often overlooked. The guy put up huge numbers with some really shitty/average qb play for the first two thirds of his career:
88 - Majkowski/Wright
89 - Majik
90 - Majik / Dilweg
91 - Tomczak / Majik
92 - Majik / Favre
93 - Favre
94 - Favre

Put simply, if you had to build a team and had a choice of Adams prime or Sharpe prime, I personally do not think it is even a close. Sharpe every day!

And no legitimate threat on the other side, IIRC.

Walter Stanley - 88
Perry Kemp - 89 thru 91
Sanjay Beach - 92
Mark Clayton - 93
Robert Brooks - 94

Lol, yeah some all time great side kicks!

I would guess, if Sharpe had not been injured, you could add another 1 or 2 SuperbOwls to the Packers list.

Was Phillip Epps in that Murderer's Row?

Epps last year was 88 with the Pack. 89 he played for the Jets.

[George Cumby]

I choose to believe that you know that by memory.

[Guiness]

Only saw one mention of Nick Collins here. He had three spectacular season and was looking to be on the way to an HOF career before the injury. His time at the top was relatively short but he was one of the best in the league for that time.
