The first is the founding of the franchise by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun. Without them and their common vision for a team - and the $500 from Indian Packing Company, would there even be an NFL franchise in little Green Bay, Wisconsin? The second is the arrival of Lombardi, the greatest head coach in the history of the NFL who led the team to an incredible five championships in seven years, just as the NFL was gaining incredible popularity via TV.  No single player acquisition measures up and IMO it's not even close. I understand many here grew up with Favre as the Packers' QB and he certainly was an exciting player and first ballot HOFer. But he led the Packers to just one championship. Looking at the entire history of the franchise, his acquisition was a high point but in no way defining.  </blockquote>
