    I mean, what has Kraft really done? He hired a good coach/GM and QB, and had his ring stolen.

    People wonder why Jerruh is in with 3 SBs but Kraft is not in with 6. But not only is Jerruh also the GM, but he was apparently instrumental in a lot of the TV deals that directly led to the increased exposure of the NFL. Jerruh, like him or hate him, has been a force in the NFL since he bought the Cowboys. You simply can’t tell the story of the NFL over the past 30-35 years without mentioning his name at least once. Which should be the benchmark for an owner to get into the Hall of Fame. Not picking the right people to write checks to.

      Seriously, if you’re going to praise the contracts and squad they’d signed, then surely the GM is the one who should get the praise in that situation.
