There are a lot of people who think that favre is the best ever. Namely every record book at this point. I don't need to list them, if you know anything about football you should know already. Add that to 3 MVP awards. Who else did that? No one!
Well most Packer fans I know say that stats don't tell the whole story....unless, of course, those stats favor a Packer player.
Let me ask you something.
1) How old are you?
2) When and why did you become a Packer fan?
3) Have you actually watched other great QB's in action like Montana, Elway, Unitas, or Marino?

First of all with your facts... It would be impossible for the packers to fold. It is written in their bylaws that the team cant move or all of its assest go to some kiwanis club or american legion post or something. Did i mention that there is a 40 year waitlist for tickets. They were never in danger of moving or folding, you just made that up.
It would not be impossible and it almost came to that. Why do you think the league went to salary cap, free agency, and shared revenues? The bylaws state that the assets go to charity, it does not state that the team can't fold. Why have bylaws unless the possibility of foreclosing is not real?
There were a handful of teams like Green Bay that were in danger of folding. Green Bay never had the money to compete with teams for players. If Green Bay had tried to sign big name players before the salary cap and especially before revenue sharing, they would have folded like a cheap tent. They simply did not have the money to compete until the salary cap. It evened out the playing field and it saved a few teams from foreclosing....Green Bay being one of them.
You, as a Packer fan, should remember the lean years when coaches of other teams would scold their players performing badly by telling them" If you don't shape up, we'll ship to Green Bay" . Nobody wanted to play in Green Bay. Nobody. The team was low on cash, had no interest from players to go there, and Green Bay was not a good place to play.
I can tell you're a post-Favre fan.

First of all you don't even live in Green Bay.
And I thank God daily for that.
As far as living in Madison, I have been a lifelong Badger fan. I have season tickets to Badger football games. I got my tickets before Barry Alvarez became coach. Anybody could get tickets then, simply because a lot of Badger fans are like Packer fans.....fair weather fans.
Once Barry turned the team into winners, the bandwagon filled. You can't even sniff season tickets now.
