He should have got in years ago.
I don't know what more the guy could have done to get in.
I hope he gets in BEFORE he dies.

All Packers fans should do whatever they can (letters, emails etc.) to put the full court press on to get Jerry into the HOF.
Kramer not being inducted is a travesty that needs to be corrected while he is still living.
I've heard all kinds of arguments from Packers fans (supposedly) of all people why he shouldn't be but I don't buy any of them.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Except that I agree with him. The Packer Sweep had a lot of components and reads to it, but none more important than the guard pulling quickly and making his block. During the early days of that dynasty, they averaged something like 8 yards every time they ran it. Of course that called for Hornung and Taylor but Jerry Kramer was as or more responsible than any player on the field making that happen.

Kramer was integral in getting two running backs into the HOF and leaving him out (guard being as under represented a position as any in the hall) is tragic. Do we have to wait til he dies like Ken Stabler to get some recognition?

I'm afraid, though, that he gets in the year he passes away.

He's not in because he doesn't deserve to be. The only people wanting him in are Packers fans/players and other players who are fringe Hall of Fame worthy players.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (53m) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (8h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (8h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (9h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (9h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (10h) : Who? What?

beast (18h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (23h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
