tempts for 257 yards and three touchdowns.Kramer, who is ranked third among NFC quarterbacks, has thrown at least one touchdown pass in his last five games. He also has completed 84 straight passes without an interception and appears to have adjusted to new offensive coordinator Bob Schnelker’s scheme. Schnelker was a member of the Packers’ coaching staff the past four seasons.Wright, on the other hand, is the lowest ranked quarterback in the NFC, and has been intercepted seven times. Passers are ranked on 11 different categories. Kramer has a 93.7 rating, thanks to his five TDs and one interception. Wright is at 39.4 because of the seven interceptions and one touchdown.Kramer is a 10-year veteran. He was a first round draft pick in 1977. He inherited Fran Tarkenton’s position in third season, but the Vikings have been less than a .500 team with Kramer at the helm.‘‘I really feel good about his overall performance (againstChicago),” Forrest Gregg said of Wright, a third-year player from the University of Wisconsin who is part of the coach’s youth movement.Kramer has had the advantage a 146-yard running game out of Darrin Nelson against the Steelers. The Packers, who were supposed to run more this season, don't have a runner with 100 yards to his credit even after three games.The Packers suffered a setback when Tim Lewis quit last week rather than risk serious injury. Lewis, a first round draft pick three seasons ago, will be replaced by Mossy Cade, but Kramer is sure to probe the Packer secondary in search of the soft spot left by Lewis.Schnelker isn’t the only Viking coach with a Packer background. The team’s new head coach, Jerry Burns, who replaced Bud Grant after last season, was the defensive backfieldcoach on Vince Lombardi’s two Super Bowl teams.The Channel 12 announcers for the game will Jack Buck and former Washington Redskin quarterback Joe Theismann.
