One could easily make the case that he was 6th best in there. Or first. Depending on how you view things. Either way, he was another one of our all time great players. But I wouldn't put him on GB's Mt. Rushmore. He wouldn't even make the cut for me. But, only one in that huddle would beat him out and that would be Starr. Two if you count Lombardi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) My hubby and I took a ride around town yesterday (we usually check out the happenings at Lambeau when we are up here every summer) and we can't believe the size of the new scoreboards!! Too bad we won't be up here for any preseason games or Family Night to see them "in action". Edited June 12, 2023 by Pugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what is really crazy about Mount Rushmore? Every one of the guys that is on it was elected President of the United States! Wouldn't it be odd if it was George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gary from accounting? Once the other 3 were elected, the pressure surely must have been on Roosevelt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bad Example Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 1 hour ago, minnypackerfan said: Hornung's importance and influence on the team was much more than stats. He was the team's "Mr. Clutch" and almost always came through in big moments with big plays. Hornung was easily the best blocking halfback in the league which helped open holes for Taylor. His all around versatility in terms of running, catching, and blocking was essential to the success of the Lombardi offense. Because of his proven ability to also pass the ball, when the Packers ran the sweep opponents were never sure if he was going to pass it and therefore did not overly commit to stopping the run which helped set up the blocking and open the running I think most of this is overblown, especially if you look at the team's performance in 63, 66, and 67 when Hornungs contributarions were limited or absent. He was a very good player but he was pretty seamlessly replaced by Elijah Pitts and Donny Amderson, as far as the functioning of the offense went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Guy Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The interesting and never talked about part in our transition from HOF QB to HOF QB, to now a third to a 3rd HOF QB is we cut another one along the way in Kurt Warner. Warner was the odd man out behind Favre, Brunell and Detmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) My Packers Mt. Rushmore is simply based on my favorites of all-time: Starr, White, Butler, Rodgers. That was really tough narrowing it down to 4. I really wanted to put Travis WIlliams on there some place. Herb Adderly was so close. Bob Brown (only from a personal experience as TC when I was a kid.) Ezra Johnson is another one of my ATF.

Lynn Dickey-he's the best QB i grew up watching-I'm of the age that was just too young to see Starr at his best and then lived thru -ugh- Tagge, Hadl, Whitehurst, Carlos Brown, Randy Wright, Jim DelGaizo, i could go on but I'm getting sick-seriously until the Majik era...lol Don Hutson because i had a custom # 14 jersey made when the first throwbacks came out and it was cool as hell Ezra Johnson because he ate a hot dog on the sideline during a game ...special props to Chester Marcol for catching his own blocked kick and returning it for a TD against the Bears (while coming off a bump at halftime) and double special props to GB cheerleaders at about 30 seconds, not exactly MN Waldo, but the best we've had have a nice day all -and thank goodness minicamp is next week and TC is about six weeks later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a list of songs that I hate; and you could sing anything that you want to sing, I wasn't going to stop you. But if you sang anything on the list, you had to take a shot, and wear a goofy hat. I have a captain's hat, the fedora from the Mask, a 3 foot sombrero, Pinocchio's hat, I think some kind of tiara. Anyway, I have a bag full of goofy hats.

vegas492 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 My Mt. Rushmore for Packers. Lombardi. Starr. Favre. Rodgers. Taking the most iconic coach out there. He's gotta be in there as the trophy is named after him. Starr. Another icon and the winner of just so many titles. Favre. Turned around the franchise and made GB relevant. While setting many records along the way. Rodgers. Arguably the most talent QB to ever play the position. Many MVP's. Kept GB relevant. Honorable mention to every Packer in the HOF, just too many to count. But I'll take the iconic coach and the 3 QB's. If I'm making one for me personally? My "likes"? Favre, White, Nitschke, Rodgers.
