Besides AR, who is a candidate to get their # retired in the future. Clay? Jordie? Woodson?
Clay? why?Clay? Jordie? Woodson?
Clay would need several seasons averaging close to a sack per game plus a few other TFLs/game to warrant that honor. On top of what he's already done. I hope he does because that would be awesome for the next 3-5 years.I think Clay would need to have a couple rejuiceinated seasons to cap off his career if he was going to warrant that kind of treatment.
I guess he's kind of the midst of one right now.
I'd be for that tooClay would need several seasons averaging close to a sack per game plus a few other TFLs/game to warrant that honor. On top of what he's already done. I hope he does because that would be awesome for the next 3-5 years.
First, #5. Not sure what the delay is. It's basically been retired all of these years, so make it official before it's too late.
As far as #12, we need at least one more Super Bowl win before that even becomes a serious discussion. I made the trip to Canton last year and broke my own stupid rule of not wearing another man's name on my back for #4, and I'll make the same trip if there's at least one more Super Bowl win (or not, it all depends on how I feel 10 years or so from now) with #12 at the helm. Either way, it's too soon to say whether it should be retired or not.

Favre only one won a single Super Bowl with the Packers as well. There's no doubt Rodgers deserves his number to be retired once he decides to hang up his cleats.
Seriously? Cmon now, I can’t even put Matthews in the top 5 in the league, he’s not even in the picture when you bring up HOF, or all time best conversation. A sack every other game or so doesn’t put a man in this category.I have no doubts Clay and Aaron both make it into Canton.
In my opinion Rodgers rates above Favre.
How does Matthews compare to Nitchke ?
There are 20-some players in the Hall of Fame who played about half or more of their careers with the team. 6 players have had their numbers retired. Lambeau wore #1 but is primarily regarded as an owner/coach and that number is still available.Besides AR, who is a candidate to get their # retired in the future. Clay? Jordie? Woodson?
http://www.packers.com/news-and-eve...au-Field/950eaf69-5aa4-11df-a3b6-528cc843f916There are 128 members of the Packers Hall of Fame and there are 20 individuals recognized by name within Lambeau Field for membership in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but there are only four retired numbers.
As a QB, yes. But as time passes these kinds of perceptions take in intangibles and the sweep of history.In my opinion Rodgers rates above Favre.
All of those things are accurate, but just for fairness, and I'm sure you will probably agree with this, Rodgers deserves a ton of credit for taking over for a great hall of fame quarterback, and not only that, but performing at the all time great level he's performed at with the pressure and expectations that have come with it.As a QB, yes.

Favre is perceived as the critical figure in turning around a moribund franchise that was wallowing in mediocrity or worse for the better part of 2 decades. For many Packer faithful, Rodgers is the continuation of the Favre legacy if not a usurper. I think he's going to have to win one more Super Bowl to stand above on his own even if it is obvious that is not entirely under his control.
Of course, I would agree with that. I wanted to see Favre traded in the early 2000's. I was speaking of others' perceptions.All of those things are accurate, but just for fairness, and I'm sure you will probably agree with this, Rodgers deserves a ton of credit for taking over for a great hall of fame quarterback, and not only that, but performing at the all time great level he's performed at with the pressure and expectations that have come with it.
Either way, we've been extremely blessed at the most critical position in all of sports the past 25 years.
#4 is retired. The retired numbers are:Retired numbers? That's a pretty big deal. I see a few guys that could make the Packers HOF. I'm not even positive that the Packers are going to retire #4 and #12 just yet. From the Packers website:
