Thirty years of relevance is hard to argue with. Since trading a first round pick for Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback Brett Favre in February of 1992, which had to seem asinine at the time, the Green Bay Packers have been a relevant franchise in the NFL. In those twenty-nine seasons, the team has been to the playoffs twenty-one times. They have won either the NFC Central or NFC North in fourteen of those years. They have two Lombardi trophies, one Super Bowl loss, and nine trips to the NFC Championship Game.
