Majkowski was actually an okay QB. He threw for 4000 yards in a season a couple of times. He just wasn't franchise QB material. The fact that it took three games for Favre to start for the Packers doesn't mean he was viewed as just some Sage Rosenfels prospect.

No, that's not true -- Don Majkowski suffered a season ending injury (ankle tear) and Favre was thrust into the starting QB position, finished the season very well, of course.

correct.. Yes GB gave up a first for farve but they were apparently planning on grabbing him with their first before atlanta took him. He may have been thought about as the future during the draft but once he was taken, he was still a backup in atlanta and came to GB as a backup until Majkowski got hurt. If he was brought in to be the franchise QB he would have came over and started immediately. It's been known that holmgren wasn't to high on farve cause he was a gunslinger and holmgren wanted to try to coach him up to be more of a finesse QB, but when majkowski got hurt holmgren didn't have a choice so he thru him in and the rest in history.
