Because he was one of the greatest players of his time.

Really no better than Paul Hornung's or Jimmy Taylor's credentials. Both Hornung and Taylor were
one of the greatest players of their time as well. Credentials in terms off All-Pro selections, All-Decade team selections. Not to mention their MVP awards. Don't know if the NFL had MVP awards in the 1940s.
If one's gonna put Canadeo's #3 up there....then one should put Jimmy Taylor's #31 and Paul Hornung's #5 up there as well. This is ridiculous!
Here's Tony Canadeo's 1950 Bowman football card. GO PACK GO!

What would the "no" argument be? Maybe that more iconic Packer names/players don't have their numbers retired? I've never seen a better QB in any NFL season in my life than 2011 Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah, there is no "no" argument.
What about if he signed for the Bears and won them two Superbowls?
That'll never happen. According to a lot of folks he'll never win another ring for us so why would he do so elsewhere?

Much like Favre did with the Vikings, after a certain amount of time, I would say completely irrelevant... although, I do have to admit, it would have left more of a "forever sting" if the Favre Vikings had won a Super Bowl.
Still blows my mind that people are still so butt hurt over Favre going to Minny.
It is mainly because Favre wanted to go to MN back then to stick it to the Packers.
