[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 857429, member: 7171"] Ah, memories. Scott Hunter was the most consistently inaccurate thrower I have seen play for the Packers. But he was also a bit of a gamer that put together a few good moments to help get the team into the playoffs one season. Jerry Tagge had an unusually long and slow wind-up for his throws as I recall. He was not blessed with hummingbird wings. John Hadl enjoyed a very brief but expensive cup of coffee in GB -- expensive for GB, that is. Lynn ****ey threw a terrific deep ball and it was very bad luck when he horrifically broke his leg on the last play of a game against the Rams (?). Think Derek Sherrod or Joe Theismann. The Packer defense during his tenure was simply a sieve otherwise he and the team may be more fondly remembered today. Randy Wright is a bit of a mystery for me since I was out of town a lot around that time. Majik was fun to watch and he, like ****ey, certainly was a decent pre-Favrian QB. Since then, it has been as Al McGuire used to say: "...all seashells and balloons." But the best Packer QB of all-time was Bart Starr IMHO. Smart, tough, and truly a winner on and off the field. I can never resist the opportunity to heap upon his memory the accolades that he so richly deserves, the most consistently reliable clutch QB under pressure that I have ever seen play. The modern media and fans just don't give him anywhere near the credit he's due. Bar none, I had the most amount of confidence in him as the Packer QB in playoff games than anyone since. Virtually mistake-free. He was money in the bank under pressure. Only one playoff loss, his first, and nothing but "W"s after that. Lots of them. He even called his own plays. He is the penultimate Packer QB. [/QUOTE]
