I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but they did only have one losing season in the last 15 years.

A team that successful that also has one of the most likable and recognizable stars the NFL has ever seen will no doubt have a massive fan base.

True, but the Packer fan base covers the entire country. States/cities that don't have teams have a lot of Packer fans. My company has events in Green Bay every home game weekend and it's amazing how many people fly in from around the country just to see a game at Lambeau. Obviously Bears fans hate the Packers but you have to admit it's a unique thing to have an NFL team in such a small city, something that will never been seen again, in any major sport.

It's true that the Packers have a lot of fans spread throughout the country. But seeing a game at Lambeau is the equivelant of seeing a game at Wrigley except it's more exclusive due to the supply of only 8 games a year. Even being a Bears fan, and having gone to college just outside GB, I would always jump at the chance to go see games there. That doesn't necessarily equate to there being more Packer fans, though.
I equate it more to older generations and the success the Packers had years ago.

The Packers are reportedly interested in Keyshawn Johnson. Him and Farve, LOL.

How sad the bears qb's have been

Jim McMahon is the only Bears quarterback I can think of that is better than the current Favre.
Chris Leak may own Brett Favre in the future :nod:

Eh, a lot of teams have followings all over, the Packers aren't exactly the Cubs though, where if you go to Arizona or Miami you will see thousands and thousands Cubs fans coming to games. All teams have national fan bases to some extent.

rex was up and down, he's still the best option, and still needs to start. He can get us back to the superbowl.

We forget he's young, and hasn't started as many games as most superbowl qb's. If you defense was healthy, i bet we would have won the superbowl. Now we added some nice weapons on offense, and have a more punishing runner to carry the major load. Expect a very good year our of rex.
