Dickey Vs. Majkowski - Who Was Better?

[gbgary]

Dickey! From what I remember they threw a lot because they were behind a lot....D stunk.

From Wikipedia (For what its worth): "John Jefferson, James Lofton, and tight end Paul Coffman teamed up with quarterback Lynn Dickey to give the Packers one of the most explosive passing attacks in the NFL at the time; however, a defense which hovered near the bottom of the league relegated Green Bay to three 8-8 finishes and a second-round playoff appearance during the strike-shortened 1982 season.

Perhaps the high point of Dickey's NFL career came in 1983 when he powered the Packers' offense to a then-team record 429 points. He threw for a team record 4,458 yards, and a career-best 32 touchdowns, the most in the NFL in 1983. Dickey was named second-team All-NFC behind Joe Theismann. Dickey's Packers had beaten Theismann's Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in a thrilling Monday Night Football game earlier that season (Washington kicker Mark Moseley missed a field goal in the closing seconds, preserving the Packers' 48-47 win). The game remains the highest aggregate score in MNF history"

they formed the battery for the nfc in the probowl. qb, both wrs, and te from the Packers.

If only you could have combined Dickey above the waist with Majkowski below the waist.
Dickowski would have been a Hall of Famer for sure!

I like MajikDick better.

I would have said Dickey, no contest. My only hesitation was that
Dickey threw so many interceptions.

Majik didn't have a big arm, but he was gutsy and really exciting to watch. I saw him beat the Lions on a last-second pass in the Pontiac Silverdome back in the day.

But Dickey was my guy. If he'd had better knees and a better defense, he might have been the real link between Starr and Favre. Except for all those damn interceptions. I didn't realize he threw so many til I saw the stats.

Lynn was the quarterback I grew up with. I also didn't realize he threw that many int. My memory of him was feeling that he could score at anytime, especially with Coffman, Jefferson and Lofton. I missed the Magic year by being over seas that year, so didn't feel that way again til Favre and now Rogers.

Those were a lot easier to forgive back then, and your defense probably should have gotten you about as many.

Fritz is one awesome dude!

Dickey for two reasons, almost as good of a record with a sucky d and it was legal to rape wr's backthen.
Two, the first packer game I fuzzily saw on black and white tv dickey won and I thought he was the greatest qb ever (after ron lancaster!)

Majik was kinda like Tebow. Suck for 3.5 quarters and then pull out the win or almost win in the last 2 minutes.

I think Dickey had good career before coming to GB. Majik was a shooting star.

Dickey had no career before coming to GB. Just a handful of starts. Houston drafted Dan Pastorini and Lynn Dickey the same year. Pastorini was the #3 pick overall, behind Plunkett and Archie Manning. Dickey was picked by Houston a round or two later. Pastorini always had the advantage over Dickey, and when Houston settled on him for their future, they traded Dickey.

Dickey for me...I loved Majik because he helped resurrect the Pack somewhat but I loved the Pack during the Dickey years. I cut newspaper clippings after some games back then.

Doesn't leave him much time for anything else.
