Green Bay boxed Favre and Rodgers or else they're an afterthought. Like they were for nigh on 30 years.
Obviously, the mystique of Lombardi, Starr, Hornung, et al. is vast. But that's a massive hole in franchise legitimacy that makes them have a much greater risk of falling into obscurity than a Steelers or a Yankees.
I mean, people give the Cowboys **** for not winning a playoff game for 17 years, and rightfully so. Add 11 years to that and you basically have the Packers.
