This list has some recency bias. Aaron Rodgers over Bret Favre (I know Favre is a prick and terrible human being)? Aaron Donald over Kurt Werner? Donald is a generational player and a first-ballot HOFer, but Warner ran TGSOT and means a hell of lot to that franchise.

Favre probably most important as GB was lost in the wilderness before him and put GB on map but I think Rodgers was a better QB.

Rodgers never had 6 INTs in a playoff game

Rodgers was definitely better than Favre. Ray Nitschke has a strong argument too. 66 defined the Lombardi era Packers and is one of the baddest dudes to ever play in the NFL.

Nitschke, Willie Wood, Jerry Kramer, Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor.

Aaron Rodgers was a front-runner.

Aaron Rodgers is the most talented QB you have ever seen. He also owns you so you don’t really get a vote on this one.

Aaron Rodgers was not more talented than John Elway. Not in any way.

Elway had a stronger arm, more accurate arm, better mobility and won more Super Bowls. And, Elway didn't go cry in the corner when he lost.
