I feel like you can argue the White selection, as he wasn't a Packer for very long. But that was THE iconic free agent. He signed, won a title and helped get other FA's here. So while he wasn't here very long, his impact was so great on so many levels that he's on my Rushmore. I feel like that is a little insulting to other former greats that played a long time in GB and are in the HOF. But it's my Rushmore, so I'm taking him.

Strongly considered him, but went with the coach that has the trophy named after him instead of the player/coach that has the field named after him.

Not disagreeing, as he is on mine for the Packers. Am saying I would understand any argument for other long time Packer greats over White, just due to longevity with the organization. But it's my list and White was THE ICONIC FREE AGENT. He came here and cemented his legacy. So he's on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing about GB is their second best coach shares the record for most NFL championships won, one more than the coach regarded as their best.

The true Mt Rushmore for the Packers needs to be separated into management and players. Lambeau, Lombardi, Harlan, Murphy. Those are the 4 men, regardless of position, who have turned the Packers into what they are today. They're the reason we're so financially stable and a global brand, allowing for the product on the field to exist. Ron Wolf also is in heavy consideration for pretty much developing the scouting/GM model we use and has been replicated throughout the league. Players only I'm going: Lambeau, Starr, Favre, White. Don't know if any player post 1996 can really be a "Mount Rushmore" type as the culture that's been instilled here because of the 60s and 90s is what built what the team is today. Rodgers is obviously in heavy consideration regardless as I believe he's the best player ever at the most important position in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he think any fan base has half of their fans that really know football? He fits in, another delusional meathead in Chicago that couldn't find his way home spotted a guide, map and navigation device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
