Position?

edit

Lambeau is currently listed as "Running Back," which may be technically accurate but misleading. He was a halfback, but not a running back as we know it now.

Standing 5-foot-10, 187-pounds, Lambeau was listed at halfback. But in those days -- when the passing game was in its infancy -- it was the halfback that received the snap from center, so in reality Lambeau was the Packers' first field general.

I'm tempted to list him as "quarterback," since that more accurately describes his role on the field. Thoughts? --Chancemichaels 18:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)ChancemichaelsReply
