Erik Kramer is still the best Bears QB I’ve seen in my lifetime. What he did in Detroit against Dallas was not a fluke by any stretch. He took a lot of big hits, got injured sometimes, but still stood in there and made plays. He had a big heart ❤️ Glad he’s doing well.
Facts! It’s Amazing To Me How So Many Bear “Fans” overlook him. They have the Nerve To Put Mitch Tribisky and Jim Harbaugh ahead of Erik. Harbaugh was good with the Colts. Erik was Good While with the Bears. Not many people remember the Bears Defense Sucked while Erik was in Chicago. His 1995 Season will always be special to me Because Ironically that was the First Year I was a Bears Fan. I was in Grade School and I thought he would be the Bears Starter forever. He was the Opening Day Starter from 1994-1998. 5 straight Seasons. The Bears Offense was Always in a Rythm when he was under center. Hardly and 3 and Outs. He did more with less and should be in the Mount Rushmore of Bears QBs and should be celebrated more among Bears Nation
Growing up, Barry Sanders was/is my favorite player. So, I watched Erik Kramer. He did have the “Underdog” aura so I rooted for him in Detroit and in Chicago. To watch this brings tears to my eyes for both the tragedy he has endured and for his resilience. His calling in life is bigger than football.
They are brother. You may not always see the path at times but it is there and you will come out of it better than ever. I've had the feeling recently but there will always be work to do
I have bipolar 2, anxiety, depression, and PTSD one of the best things I've ever learned from my life coach and mentor, nobody's diagnosis define them unless they allow it to. It's a part of what makes us special and unique.
Thank you NFL Films this is so raw and real from players we saw on Sunday No other sports league has a channel and quite frankly a full studio devoted to the game. Not just that but the whole history of the greatest sport. Love NFL Throwback as well and I see it getting a lot of younger fans into the players from the past. I think what you guys do for the game is incredible and as someone who hasn't witnessed as much football history as I would have liked, this is the perfect channel for me and I truly hope you know that your hard work is paying off
First let me say I appreciate Mr. Kramer being vulnerable enough to talk about his story. That takes a lot of courage and can help so many people. Thank you sir. Second I'm not finished watching yet, but I hope the ex who was stealing from him was prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. Forget about the gold digging money over everything aspect of it, the man was suffering medically and was in no position to protect himself or his assets. Disgusting behavior. And the sad thing is nobody except the people watching this video will probably ever know. She probably got a slap on the wrist and will just find another vulnerable, lonely guy to ruin. Sickening. I stand corrected! Thank god for the woman from high school being there and looking out for his best interests. Sounds to me like she's the one he should be with, honestly.
Erik went through hell and back but somehow came out in a better state. A true inspiration in every sense of the word. His friend then girlfriend Anna also seems like a gem and just what a man who went through so much needs and quite frankly deserves
It's an amazing inspirational story one of the saddest things is that nobody really remembers his performance in the playoff game because of the Barry Sanders run
You're right I had to think about it and remembered him vaguely but that's relatively most people but he left a mark with mainly fans who's team he played for and the division I'm sure we can only focus on our own house really and that's how I see the NFC through 1 division AFC West like I couldn't remember that AJ Hawk looked like or that that dude's show he's always on was a kicker or that Aaron Rodgers actually won a super bowl 😂 I just remember how long it's been for the CHIEFS or who played for us everytime I hear about LT I think they don't know about DT that's messed up.
I wouldn't wish the tragedy he suffered on anyone and how he picked himself up after the suicide and his ex wifes fraud through the marriage. I just hope the trauma and bad stuff in his life goes away.
I think his dad did the right thing by making sure his son wasn't exploited by some coach who would probably have him play both sides of the field burn him out or get injured. Moving him to another school for the opportunity to get the QB position was genius. I think he got his done it propelled his son into a successful opportunity in the NFL and that is like boxing you train for year's maybe a decade before you can get to the pros and it cost money blood and sweat not everyone makes it.
Why? During the holiday season a lot of people are dealing with their own mental issues. Such as depression and they may have suicidal thoughts. Don't you think they might appreciate this? It's not about you.
@@justinbenning2428 People might not feel in the mood for this content. Not today. I have watched the video but some parts may lead some guys into depression. Maybe it is just me. I have lost my family to covid and this content is useful but not when I feel burnelable like today. I am all alone.
Goes to show me sometimes some people don't understand what real life is about this guy says poor timing it's never poor timing when you lose someone in the holidays everybody goes through a massive depression mode I went through mine three different times and I'm still standing and it's a video like this that could help give an answer to somebody. I guess this guy suffers from nothing I think he sounds like he's perfect
This should get 1 million views. Thank you for having the courage to share your story.
Absolutely!

Life is worth living but not easy. My heart goes out to Erik and his family
What a story. It's nice to know that through of all of it, Anna cared deeply for him and was the person he needed.
💛 going through some dark times right now but i know better days are ahead

Likewise. The few people I've told in person, they act like it's cancer, like a death sentence. Bizarre. But I guess, how would you feel, you know?
I am so, so sorry....God bless your soul, Erik Kramer
Glad you're still with us Erik
NFL Films doing it the right way. This was amazing.
Thank you Erik for sharing your story. Your vulnerability, courage and story is a blessing for me and I am sure for many many many hundreds. Thank you
Very honest…very helpful.
Thank you.

Madden 2000 solid backup but always got hurt
That was amazing! Thank you for this post!
This was an interesting video. Credit to Erik Kramer for making it through. Depression is no joke.
No it's not
Atlanta/Calgary/Detroit/Chicago/San Diego

I'm glad you're answering your family doing OK God bless you
💪💪💪
So he had imposter syndrome
Your videos are not just a spectacle, they are a real journey of knowledge and discovery. Keep up the good work!⬛🚲📷
Dude, releasing this video on Christmas Eve is poor timing.
Why? During the holiday season a lot of people are dealing with their own mental issues. Such as depression and they may have suicidal thoughts. Don't you think they might appreciate this? It's not about you.
