When you think of the Packers best player ever, you think it's a no brainer- Brett Favre. But let's think about Brett Favre. He has pretty much every passing record, games played in a row record (QB), wins (QB), and more. He has an an amazing 3 MVP awards. BUT - When it mattered the most, he lost it. The all time leader in touchdowns also threw a mind boggling 288 interceptions. That's at least 1 (sometimes 6) interception every game (on average). He's one of the greatest QB's ever? He won 1 super bowl. In the 1998 super bowl he threw lots of interceptions. In 2001, 2002, 2004, and this year, 2008, he blew it in the playoffs with goofy, misdirected interceptions. In the 1960s, the Pack had QB Bart Starr (left). He may not have had as many touchdowns, wins, or MVP's, but he won 5 world championships and 2 super bowls. People think Brett is good in cold weather? When it doesn't matter! The Pack lost 2 times in the cold to the Bears this season. HE LOST TO REX GROSSMAN! He's a future HOF QB!? In 1967, there was the most cold game in NFL history. The ice bowl. -39 F, -69 F with wind chill. And guess who made the amazing play and won it in the ice cold? Bart Starr. Even if you have a better team or play better, you're only a winner if you win. So I think Bart is better. I'll be cheering when Brett passes 300 interceptions this season.

The dude is washed up. Great arm - hasn't won a big one since '96. Not his fault alone, but this was long overdue. I was sick of the pre-season drama every year. Prima donna - should have been mentoring Rogers. Then Rogers could have been his legacy. Starr was awesome - coached by the best. Became a superstar despite average abilities. I had a large painting of him up on my wall when I was your age.
Come on. Why do you hate him so bad?
oh ben, you know.
