you're done, the backup Brett Favre over the years. This is by no means definitive and focused mainly on the quarterbacks who were not only on the roster, but made it into play at some point during the season
Some observations :.
twice Favre had backup from small college in Louisiana (Favre native state), with Doug Pederson being from eastern Louisiana and Craig Nall being from Northwestern State.
The Packers have had two different ex-BYU backup quarterbacks Brett (Jim McMahon and Ty Detmer). The quarterback who spent most of the years, such as backing up Brett Favre was Doug Pederson and has done so in two separate stints with the team (1996-1998 and 01-04).
Brett Favre itself was drafted by the Falcons, just to play sparingly and then be traded to the Packers in 1992. in 1993 the Packers drafted Mark Brunell who played sparingly for them and was then traded to Jacksonville Jaguars where he went a star for many years. He is one of the most durable quarterback the league will ever see, and these were the guys who run backup.
