Not as big as Gronk retiring, but Rodgers wouldn't be the QB he is now without Jordy. Had kinda hoped that the Pack would bring him back for a year on a team friendly contract, but at least he didn't sign with a third team and not have chemistry with the QB.

Injuries did him in. Now he can go to his farm and enjoy life with all his money. Not a HOFer but maybe the Packers ring of honor or whatever. Maybe not even that with all the legends the Packers have.

Definitely not an NFL HoFer, he'll be Packers HoF, no doubt. The Packers wouldn't have had anywhere near the success they had from 10-14 without him, and that includes the Super Bowl win over Pitt. One of my favorite play of his will always be when he torched Revis for that 45 yard TD!

Packers HOF'er for sure but Ring of Honor for Packers is reserved for players who played majority of career or had major impact with team and made the NFL HOF.

Isn't Chester Marcol in the circle? If he can achieve that stature then Jordy not only belongs but add Greg Jennings and around a couple hundred more players.

Geez, let me settle this for once.

25 names are in the Ring of Honor inside Lambeau Field
6 numbers have been Retired by the Packers (officially)
161 members of the Packers Hall of Fame

No chance he'll be in the Ring of Honor or have his number retired.
100% chance he's in the Packers Hall of Fame.

My bad, confused Packers Hall of Fame with Ring of Honor. The Packers Hall of Fame - 121 ish members in 2012 is now 161? By 2020, they may need a census beureau to keep count.
