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.
