Packers FULL QB History Since 1970!

0:00 [music]

0:03 Green Bay Packers, Lambeau has seen some of the greatest.

0:07 Arnie Herber, Hall of Famer, leader of their first dynasty.

0:11 He led them to four titles in the '30s.

0:14 First passer in the history of the league to pass for 1,000 yards.

0:18 [music] Green Bay native.

0:20 Pro Football Hall of Famer.

0:21 Let's skip to dynasty number two.

0:23 I'm Bart Starr.

0:24 I was a 17th round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers back in 1956.

0:29 1957 to 1970 were primo years for the Pack.

0:33 Starr settled into the starter's role in 1960, led them to the title game,

0:37 made the Pro Bowl that year, too, as well as in '61 and '62.

0:42 Starr and the Pack crowned champs both seasons.

0:45 The Green BAY PACKERS ARE GOING TO BE WORLD CHAMPIONS.

0:49 Starr and company picked their championship-winning ways back up in 1965,

0:53 won it all, followed by wins in the league's first two ever Super Bowls.

0:58 On this march, he finds Pitts, Dale, and finally McGee for the touchdown.

1:05 Five NFL titles, four Pro Bowls, two-time Super Bowl MVP,

1:10 first in a trilogy of legendary Packers signal-callers.

1:13 Bart, it's a great pleasure to present you keys

1:16 to this car for your wonderful performance in Super Bowl.

1:20 Starr serves as Scott Hunter's backup in 1971 and as QB coach in '72.

1:26 They made the playoffs that year.

1:28 And though the Green Bay passing game was never imposing,

1:31 Starr's choice of receivers was [music] limited to the veteran number 84,

1:35 Carroll Dale, and the rookie Leland Glass.

1:38 Then things went cold in the Bay.

1:40 1973 was a trifecta season.

1:42 Hunter, Jerry Tagge, and Jim Del Gaizo.

1:45 The Packers used three talented but semi-inexperienced quarterbacks in 1973.

1:51 More committee work in '74.

1:53 Tagge joined by John Hadl and Jack Concannon.

1:56 There's a reason committees are bad when it comes to QBs.

2:00 Oles, an authority than Joe Namath,

2:02 has called Hadl the finest quarterback in pro football.

2:05 Hadl took over in '75, results not much different.

2:09 Those years set the stage for the original GB12,

2:13 the Lynn Dickey decade, 1976 to 1985.

2:17 He only finished one year over .500.

2:20 Strike-shortened season of 1982, made the playoffs.

2:23 At their own 40-yard line, deep they go.

2:26 WIDE OPEN IS JEFFERSON.

2:29 IT'S A 60-YARD touchdown strike from the veteran quarterback,

2:33 curly-haired Lynn Dickey.

2:35 Now, Dickey broke his leg shortly after arriving in Green Bay,

2:39 missed two full years.

2:41 So, 1978 and '79, cheeseheads watched David Whitehurst toss it for them.

2:50 1986 to 1988, the Randy Wright years, or maybe they were the Randy Wrong years.

2:56 A 6 and 24 record as their starter in that span.

3:02 Randy Wright hit the linebacker right in the belly.

3:05 14 seconds [music] later, Minnesota gets it back.

3:08 And good field position.

3:09 He's had a tough start.

3:10 He's thrown one touchdown pass.

3:12 That was his eighth interception.

3:13 Play opened the door for the magic man.

3:16 1987 to 1991 saw Don Majkowski back there quite a bit.

3:20 His run peaked in '89, made the Pro Bowl,

3:23 and finished second to Joe Montana in MVP voting.

3:27 Here's Majkowski back to throw on first down, gets a good block.

3:29 Now runs out of there to the right.

3:31 Wants some help throwing down field for Fontenot.

3:33 Got it!

3:34 Touchdown!

3:35 He's a what-might-have-been guy.

3:37 He got hurt in 1990.

3:39 Anthony Dilweg was not the answer.

3:41 But the Packers also suffered their share

3:43 of untimely bounces and unbelievable breaks.

3:47 The next season, it was Majik and Mike Tomczak, not much better.

3:51 Green Bay's dreams of triumph and glory plummeted early.

3:55 Everything changes after that.

3:57 A trade and an injury setting up decades of Green Bay QB excellence.

4:01 And Majkowski is down and hurting, Max.

4:03 He is hurting.

4:04 The magic man gets hurt, the kid with the funny name takes over.

4:08 So, with their best receiver out of the game, from the 35, 19 seconds left.

4:12 FAVRE PUMPS, THROWS, TOUCHDOWN!

4:16 THAT WAS EXCELLENT THROW BY Brett Favre.

4:20 Is there a spark of life in Green Bay?

4:23 '92 to 2007, [music] the Brett Favre years.

4:26 First year in the saddle, makes the Pro Bowl.

4:28 He'd go on to appear in 11 Pro Bowls.

4:31 The big cheese of QBs, Brett Favre.

4:35 Brett Favre.

4:36 I got to say this.

4:37 This Favre out here.

4:39 1995 to 1997, no one better in the game.

4:43 Wins MVP three straight years.

4:45 Led the league in TD passes with 35 plus each campaign.

4:49 How did Brett Favre do what he just did?

4:53 Favre back across his body, touchdown!

4:56 I'll believe it.

4:57 Incredible!

4:57 That guy's just a wizard.

5:00 The peak of the Favre mountain [music] in '96.

5:03 246 yards, two touchdowns,

5:05 no picks [music] in the Super Bowl versus New England.

5:08 Titletown owned the title once again.

5:10 Favre back to throw [music] his first one.

5:13 Going deep, has a man open.

5:16 Andre Rison.

5:18 And now, baby, it's over.

5:20 The Vince Lombardi Trophy is coming home, where it started.

5:24 Favre and his mates went back to the Super Bowl the next year,

5:27 too, fell short versus Denver and John Elway.

5:30 He took Green Bay to the playoffs six more times.

5:33 His final year, they went 13

5:34 and three and made the conference [music] championship.

5:37 Number four, won all the awards.

5:39 Who would have ever thought that a young man from Kiln, Mississippi,

5:43 whose father ran the wishbone,

5:46 would hold every passing record in NFL history at one time?

5:51 Set all sorts of records, all sorts of records his successor would break.

5:56 Third and five, pass is caught.

5:58 Lazard!

6:01 [cheering] TOUCHDOWN!

6:02 Career touchdown pass number 443.

6:05 Packers drafted a kid by the name of Aaron Rodgers a few years earlier,

6:09 made him wait a few seasons.

6:11 Didn't take him long to bring back another Lombardi to Titletown.

6:15 Rodgers down the middle again.

6:17 Great chance!

6:18 Had a beautiful spiral over the middle.

6:21 What a conversion!

6:22 2010, [music] Rodgers' best team result, not his best personal year.

6:27 45 touchdowns in 2011 took the MVP [music] award.

6:31 Jennings wide open!

6:32 NOBODY IN THE SAME AREA CODE.

6:34 Greg Jennings, bomb away!

6:37 2014, throws 38 TDs against just [music] five picks.

6:41 MVP award number two.

6:43 Here we go.

6:44 Ball game on the line.

6:47 Snap to A-Rod.

6:49 Throws right side.

6:50 GOT IT!

6:51 YES!

6:53 TOUCHDOWN!

6:54 [screaming]

6:56 TOUCHDOWN TO ANDREW QUARLESS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

6:57 Packers had to endure one Brett Hundley year in Rodgers' run due to injury,

7:01 [music] but back to work he went.

7:03 2020, leading the league with 48 touchdowns, only five picks.

7:07 MVP number three.

7:09 He's done it for for forever now.

7:10 He's He's a gold jacket guy.

7:12 2021, 37 TDs, four INTs.

7:15 MVP award number four.

7:17 For the shot, left side, Lazard!

7:19 He's got it!

7:20 Touchdown!

7:21 Cobb throws, left side of the end zone, touchdown!

7:25 A sensational throw!

7:27 Then he gets Farved,

7:28 Packers drafting Jordan Love and having him sit [music] and watch.

7:32 Took over in 2023, 32 touchdowns, playoff win in Dallas.

7:37 Foot roll, ends on, it is CAUGHT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!

7:41 NOW, cheesehead nation waits to see if Love will eventually find a way.

7:46 I think the quality of a great leader, a great quarterback,

7:48 is being able to deliver when you have Anybody

7:52 can play when uh when there's really nothing at stake.

7:56 [music]

7:56 You know, it's your point guard who wants the basketball,

7:58 like Larry Bird wants it at the end of the game.

8:00 You know, one person has to rise [music] and and make the the big plays,

8:04 and you know, I'd like for it to be me.

8:05 I thrive for those positions.

8:07 And this is what it's all about.

8:08 I mean, it's it's Christmas night at Lambeau,

8:11 and I'm so fortunate to be able to play here in this stadium with these fans.

8:18 I can't quite remember a play like that happening before.

8:22 Those are some bloopers right there.

8:24 Blake Cashman coming in nearly untouched.

8:26 Wix is the motion man.

8:28 He just runs a little speed out.

8:29 Can he more sees it?

8:31 That is just a great ball by Malik

8:34 Willis putting that out on his front shoulder.

8:40 Pass is caught for the touchdown!

8:44 Bostic.

8:46 First possession for the Packers and Seneca Wallace.

8:50 No score early at Lambeau.

8:54 He has just set a Green Bay Packers

8:56 franchise record [music] of six touchdowns in a game.

9:00 And you got to remember, this is the only guy in the last 20 years

9:06 who has started a game at quarterback for the Packers.

9:10 Boy, they're showing blitz.

9:11 Gets through and pressures.

9:12 Complete to Scott.

9:16 [cheering] Touchdown, Green Bay.

9:15 No flag.

9:22 Play fake.

9:23 Pressure.

9:24 Lobbs it out.

9:24 Nice catch [cheering] by the Val Thomas.

9:26 And he may score.

9:27 Touchdown, Green Bay.

9:34 [cheering] 44-yard line, first down.

9:36 Two running backs.

9:37 Here's Aaron.

9:37 Goes straight back in the pocket.

9:38 Good protection again.

9:40 Now he's throwing long down the sideline.

9:42 There's Lawson.

9:43 He got it to the fan by touchdown!

9:46 James Lawson.

9:47 Knocking at touchdown's door, Johnson dropped [music] back,

9:51 found no one open, and so barreled in for the score himself.

9:55 [music] Backup to Dickey was Carlos Brown, number 19,

10:01 who filled in well while facing the league's

10:03 [music] fiercest competition with only limited experience.

10:10 [music]

10:17 Two weeks later against the Bears second team signal caller Don Milan hooked

10:21 [music] up with Steve Odum on Green Bay's longest offensive play of the season.

10:27 Don Milan, whom we acquired from the Los Angeles Rams,

10:30 [music] has the capacity to step in and do a great job.

10:33 Against the Bears with fine protection from our line,

10:36 he throws a beautiful scoring pass to Steve Odum.

10:40 [music] Cleveland's 11th straight home crowd of over

10:45 80,000 saw their Browns completely outplay the Pack.

10:51 So thorough was the thrashing, they came [music] within 2 minutes of a shut out.

11:00 [music]
