Aside from both of them being late draft picks they are similar kinds of quarterback.   Flynn is about the same size as Majik was at 6-2, though heavier at around 220 lbs while Majik was a tad under 200.   Majkowski wasn't known for a big arm, though his ability to go deep couldn't be underestimated. Flynn will probably be more of the shorter to intermediate range passer at his best.    Both are mobile qb's who can scramble to avoid the rush and break downfield to make first downs running the ball.     Majik was able to get his teammates to believe in his leadership on the field and I think Flynn has shown already a similar kind of rapport with his team.     At least facing the Atlanta defense is a better initial start for Flynn than going up against Tampa, Dallas or the Giants. If the rest of the team steps it up Flynn can manage the game rather than try to carry the team on his shoulders so it can still be a Packers win today.</blockquote>
