The NFL Hall of Fame supposedly recognizes the best players and their contributions for teams they played for. It is ridiculous that arguably one of the two best guards of his time who not only was a vital cog in his team’s offense but is the ONLY offensive linemen ever to substitute for team place kicking duties and score most of that team’s points in an NFL title game, the 16-7 Packers win in 1962 Championship. Kramer was a vital cog in that famed “Packer’s sweep” that led Green Bay to 5 of 6 NFL championships and two Super Bowl titles in an incredible 7 year span that NO NFL has ever repeated. I personally believe Kramer has been blackballed because of his book “Instant Replay” which I’m sure many of those connected with Hall of Fame either dislike for him opening doors into the locker room before acceptable or just jealous Kramer was able to do so before they were. IF individual talent and contributions to his team’s success are most important–Jerry Kramer should’ve been a Hall of Fame inductee long before many others who have been elected.
You may be onto something with “Instant Replay.” It makes no sense otherwise to keep him out of the Hall.
Why wait till the man is dead? He obviously belongs.
