Brett Favre had so many characteristic receivers through the years. Those receivers, combined with Favre’s cannon of an arm, made for some great memories. As this weekend and the induction of Favre into the Packers Hall of Fame gets closer, those memories come flooding back. All the top ten lists and best of Brett Favre videos show historic quarterback/receiver combinations and Favre made a lot of great plays with a lot of different receivers.
Today’s question for Packernation is:
AM Quickslant: Packernation Poll
I can see where Donald Driver would be a fan favorite, especially with the younger fans. But my opinion is that Sterling Sharpe was the best Packers WR ever, and may have been statistically comparable with Jerry Rice if his career hadn’t been cut short. On the other hand, I do think that losing Sharpe forced Favre to improve and spread the ball around more. Go Pack go!
I agree on both counts DavidW. Sharpe was spectacular and I hated that his career was cut short because I thought he would have been HOF material if he had been able to continue. But the Packers overall (and Brett) improved when we spread the ball around more….Thanks for the input!
I really want to vote for more than one !!!! Sweet memories of one of the best…. Thanks, Brett
If Sharpe’s career would not have been cut short I believe he would have been the best receiver in the history of football…He had all the tangibles and a QB who targeted him like Montana did Rice so while I love Driver and even Brooks, Sharpe has to be my choice as best connection.
