Packers quarterback Brett Favre is shown in 1992 in the team's locker room at Lambeau Field.

With Brett Hundley about to go Sunday in place of injured Aaron Rodgers, it might be instructive – or may help settle a bar bet, anyway –  to look at the other quarterbacks who made their first NFL regular-season starts as members of the Green Bay Packers.

Here are the past 67-plus seasons’ worth, according to the statistics on ProFootballReference.com. Statistics before 1950 get a little sketchy.

For the record, the 17 QBs accounted for an 8-8-1 record in those first games, with 11 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.
