[QUOTE="ivo610, post: 456713, member: 2128"] As a Packer fan I would be thrilled to see another Packer in the Hall. I really would. But equal to my love for the packers is my love for pro football. I love it. I love the Hall of Fame, I love old players, I love the history, I love pretty much everything about it. I collect old football books to get a better idea on how players were viewed in previous generations. I spent $500 on a book of unreleased pictures of the 50s, 60s, and 70s games. I mean my love for this stuff is huge. So when a player like Jerry Kramer cant get in, I dont view it as a Packer fan, I view it as a football fan. His legacy in GB is secured, that I am certain of. As a football fan I look at his resume for the hall and I dont see it being any better than alot of other players. I would say he is in the top 25 (that tv show with the top 10 most deserving players was filled with mostly big names, not big resumes). I think the reason it doesnt bother me like it bothers some people that Jerry isnt in is because I can point to such and such a player and say "(Player X) isnt in the HOF, thats how tough it is to get in. Thats how special it is." So as a Packer fan I dont mind, because I am secure with Jerrys legacy. I know what kind of player he was. As a Football fan, I am ok with it because I know it shows how tough the HOF is and what kind of players get in. For those on here who it burns them up inside Jerry isnt in, I would suggest contacting Cliff Christl, he would be the guy that would give you a good idea on what the public could do. [/QUOTE]
