Let's say you're the coach of the Green Bay Packers, deciding which
players should start in a Super Bowl matchup against the toughest
team in the AFC. But instead of choosing from the current roster,
you have every player in the team's 100-year history in your locker
room. Who starts at quarterback: the steady field general Bart
Starr, gunslinger Brett Favre, or cannon-armed Aaron Rodgers? At
outside linebacker, do you play Hall of Famer Dave Robinson,
Lombardi-favorite Dan Currie, current All Pro Clay Matthews, or
another player from the team's deep roster? Which players get the
start at wide receiver? Donald Driver, James Lofton, Sterling
Sharpe, Max McGee, Jordy Nelson, or Antonio Freeman? Combining
career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles, veteran
sportswriter Chuck Carlson imagines an embarrassment of riches and
sets the all-time All-Pro Packer lineup for the ages.
Since their founding in 1921, the Green Bay Packers have played
countless games that have thrilled pro football fans across the
country. In this book, a veteran sportswriter examines ten contests
that have defined the team over different eras in its 101-year
history. From the season-ending win in 1929 that delivered the
Packers' first NFL championship, to Vince Lombardi's first victory
as Packers coach in 1959, winning both the "Ice Bowl" and first
Super Bowl in 1967, and on through the Favre and Rodgers eras in a
new century, Chuck Carlson goes beyond events on the field to trace
the significance of each of these signature games in the arc of
Packers history.
