Irrefutably true that Ted Thompson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson has led the franchise to one of the most successful runs in league history.

At this point I'm not sure. I do not think he is as good as Wolfe was.

I think we are lucky to have both Wolfe and TT. I believe each was/is better in his era. Wolfe looked to spend to get players and did, he wouldn't be able to do that as readily now. Ted Thompson is much more frugal and wouldn't have built what Ron did.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I give Ted lots of credit for keeping the team young, keeping the team in great Cap space. But the big question with Ted is, what would he have done or do, if he didn't have HOF QB play his entire time. It is much easier to field good teams with you never have to worry about the QB spot.
