The Green Bay Packers are one of the best teams in the NFL, with their astonishing record of 13 championships — a remarkable feat that includes triumphs in four Super Bowls, the highest number of titles in NFL history. Adding to their glory, they hold the prestigious record for the most regular-season wins ever recorded in the NFL.
Based in Lambeau Field, the Packers have cultivated a legacy of exceptional signal-callers. This historic franchise has played host to an array of all-time great players, notably showcasing some of the most extraordinary quarterbacks in the entire league.
Let’s now explore the top Packers quarterbacks in their rich history.
Brett Favre
Brett Favre epitomizes the essence of football. Until his retirement in 2010, he held every major passing record in NFL history, including yards and touchdowns. Favre’s on-field character endeared him to fans, making him beloved.
What set Favre apart was his daring “gunslinging” mentality and remarkable toughness. His record of 327 consecutive starts (including playoffs) is likely to remain unbroken for a considerable time. During his prime from 1996 to 1998, he showcased extraordinary dominance. He earned three MVP awards and a Super Bowl ring.
With 11 Pro Bowl selections and six All-Pro honors, Favre ranks among the greatest. He is the most electrifying quarterback in NFL history. Packers fans, in particular, have firsthand knowledge of his exceptional talents.
Bart Starr
Bart Starr, wearing the iconic No. 15, was an exceptional leader and quarterback of his time. Widely regarded as one of Vince Lombardi’s finest and most significant players, Starr earned MVP accolades in both Super Bowl I and II. His ability to throw the football with precision and artistry was unparalleled.
Starr’s remarkable talent extended beyond aesthetics. He topped the NFL in completion percentage. He also passer rating on four occasions, demonstrating his exceptional accuracy and effectiveness. As 1966 MVP, he was among NFL’s pioneering great offensive generals.
It is safe to say that without Bart Starr, the Green Bay Packers would not have achieved their dynasty status in the 1960s.
Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers continues to defy expectations and shows no signs of slowing down. As a four-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion, he is widely recognized as one of the most talented quarterbacks.
Rodgers holds the best TD-INT ratio in NFL history at 4.83-1. His recent performances are a testament to his greatness, as he captured back-to-back MVP titles by throwing an impressive 85 touchdowns with just nine interceptions in 2020 and 2021. Rodgers excels in protecting the ball, boasting the lowest interception percentage in history at 1.3 percent.
The 39-year-old player has solidified his place among the all-time greats in various statistical categories. He ranks in the top 10 in passing yards, passing touchdowns, completed passes, and completion percentage. His ability to manipulate the defense, drawing them offsides or catching them with too many players on the field, is unmatched.
Currently in his 18th NFL season, Rodgers holds the distinction of being the longest-tenured player in Packers history. His influence on the team over the last 15 years cannot be overstated. As long as Rodgers was leading the Packers, they always had a legitimate chance to compete for a championship.
Now with Rodgers in New York we’ll see if Jordan Love will have a career worthy enough of putting his name on this list.
