How good was Majkowski??

[Chester Marcol]

And one more thing....a Team Hall of Fame should have different standards then the League Hall of Fame. There is nothing at all wrong with having Majikowski in the Packer Hall of Fame. He was a big part of the teams history and he always will be.

I couldn't agree more. I remember that one year more than I did Favre's first couple years. Was probably the most fun season I'd experienced as a Packer fan to that point. Majik atleast helped pick us up and dust us off a bit. Wasn't that the season we were branded the cardiac Pack? People were watching again. Came for the Majik, stayed for the Favre.

and face it. if it wasn't for majik getting hurt, we might not ever have found out what favre could do. it was majikal

Favre would have seen the field one way or another. It wasn't like Majik was leading us to the promise land. I doubt you invest a first round pick on a back up QB.

if it wasn't for majiks injuries would we have even traded for him?

Yes. Wolf liked him from the time he was in college.

Another question...

If Majkowski doesn't revive the Packer faithful in 1989, can Ron Wolf successfully lure Mike Holmgren to Green Bay? You have to imagine that the impact Majkowski and the Packer fans had on the 49ers (and Holmgren) during their 1989 victory against the Niners meant something. Similar to how Favre's play against Reggie when he was still with the Eagles meant something in luring White to Green Bay.

It becomes real interesting when you play to "what if game"

If Majkowski has not been injured, no matter how much he liked Favre, Wolf might not have seen the need to spend a 1st round pick on an unproven QB. He might have been satisfied with Majik for the time being and used the pick to strengthen other weaknesses. Who might he have drafted with that pick

Without the chance in GB what would have happened to Favre? Would he have had a chance somewhere else, or would he have continued along the path he established as a rookie? Would he have been traded elsewhere? Did anyone else want him? Would he ever have had a chance in Atlanta? Could he have succeeded somewhere other than small town GB, or under a staff other than Holmgren's

Would White have ever come to GB? Would he have won his Super Bowl before retiring?

If Favre had succeeded in Atlanta, where would Michael Vick be?

What other QB might have followed Majkowski in GB. Would Brunnell have taken over as Majik's career faded? or would Majik have lasted until Hasselbeck? Would someone else have been drafted?

Yup, those Majkowski injuries may have turned out for the best for a lot of people!

see, but i think if majik would have stayed healthy, and put up numbers anywhere near what he did in 89 in 90 and 91 then wolf wouldn't have made the trade. i find it very hard to think that wolf would have traded a 1st rounder for a raw qb when he already had a very good qb on the roster. and if majik had 1 good year after 89 it might have made wolf stall on making the trade, and maybe that would have given the falcons time to find out just how good he was. of course JMO

Could someone remind me what the name of the Atlanta coach that got caught on tape ridiculing Favre on game day? He hollered out "Mississippi! You gonna play today? Favre answered, "I will if you let me." Then said coach listed of a number of catastrophes and natural disasters that would have to happen before he put #4 in the game. I don't think he'd have been recognized by that particular coaching staff. He might never have settled down either.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That sure sounds like Jerry Glanville.

[MJZiggy]

I believe that's the guy. What's he up to these days?

[Harlan Huckleby]

he is somebody's defensive coordinator.

I kinda like Glanville, although as a game commentator he was too much.

I agree with you guys. Harve is being a little bit of a sourpuss about Majik's inclusion in the GBHOF. The top 5 Packer passers are Favre, Starr, Dickey, Rote ( a great player, now forgotten) and Majkowski. All 5 are in the GBHOF, as they should be.

'89 was a Majik year. Pack set a NFL record 4 1 point victories. Don led 5 come from behind victories. That win in SF was a big time win over the then top team in the league. Don and Sterling Sharpe developed special chemistry and couldn't be stopped when they got on a roll.

He is the DC for the University of Hawaii.
