Who are your underrated Packers of all time? My top five are Gale Gillingham, Bobby Dillon, Doug Evans, Robert Brown, and Ed West.
Evans, Gillingham, Lynn Dickey, Bryce Paup, and Keith Jackson, whose names aren’t mentioned enough when talking about those ’95 -’96 Packers teams.
Good Morning! I remember Chris Banjo being a veteran who provided invaluable leadership on special teams. Who’s that for the Packers now?
Catching Up With II, Wes: Just Two AP All-Pros In QB Since Bart Starr? We shouldn’t be counting the second team. Poor magic man.
Of course I missed that. The second team counts. My apologies.
In your opinion, wouldn’t it be prudent for all teams to have all their players screened for COVID before July 15, so that anyone who tests positive can be quarantined for 14 days and released before the start of the training camp? I think it’s a good idea.
Sure, but that’s something the NFL and NFLPA will have to figure out. I’m sure players will be evaluated before traveling to their team’s city, but the specific timeline is for those two sides to determine.
There is no doubt, just a statement. The WIAA has launched a plan for fall sports. If high school sports can do it, I’m no longer an optimist with no expectations for the NFL; I am optimistic about expectations. I think we will see green and gold in all their glory this fall.
All the best for WIAA and high school athletes looking to resume their respective sports. You model your expectations as you see fit, but keep in mind that we are all walking in the dark trying not to trip over our fingers.
Rodgers … inspecting … fires, that’s caught, Randall Cobb in Chicago Territory! Randall Cobb on the 20-yard line! Randall Cobb … is going to score! 75 yards, that’s crazy! An interception interrupted by Kyle Fuller just two plays earlier allowed this moment to occur, part of one of the greatest returns of all time.
I appreciate how the question was asked about a Packers pass and then we got 37 questions that start with “He’s not an offensive player but … Fuller and Brandon Bostick!” Neither of which meets the original criteria.
If you could recruit ANY player of all time to play in today’s game, who would it be?
I’m not sure how far you want him to go back, but I feel like the first Deion Sanders would have been a lot of fun in the NFL today, with his athleticism, versatility, and bigger-than-life personality.

Hi Wes, I heard that having big hands helps the QB catch the ball and that “4” and “12” have bigger hands than most. Mike told us the size of Favre’s hands. How big are Rodgers’?
Please tell me that I was not the only reader on Friday who took out the rule. You would not be a reliable quarterback for cold weather.
I don’t even want to tell you what mine is.

What a great article by Cliff Christl about the top 10 offensive players. With a 101-year history, naming the top 10 players in any category is difficult. Many people will say where Jordy, Driver, Sharpe, Ahman, etc. are. I could go on and on. My thanks for the great history of our team continues to grow day by day!
You listed some of the best players in Packers history. I think the difference from Cliff’s article is that the 10 names he mentions are among the best players the league has ever seen. Everyone makes the top 10 lists, but not everyone does the top 10 lists well. Cliff has the knowledge and conscience to look back on the past 70 years and compile such a tremendous list. He is a treasure. I recommend that you review it.
How does our basketball team look now that Julius Peppers is gone? Is ML retirement permanent or could he be kicked out for one last run?
LaFleur said he is healthy and playing again. The Packers’ basketball team has been affected in recent years. It’s probably Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers, and then some question marks.
With baseball reduced to a 60 game schedule, that makes each game that much more important. Do you see teams that go down to a four-man rotation or at least roll their numbers 1 and 2 more often than they usually do? If you go down five games in the leaderboard, it will be hard to come back from that. I can not wait!
I do not know. I don’t baseball.
