‘”When the Bills drafted J.P., everybody was saying, J.P.’s a cocky guy,” CBS analyst and former Bills special teams legend Steve Tasker says. “I laughed. When Jim Kelly came to Buffalo he led the league in cocky. He came to Buffalo in 1986, kicked ass and took names. Jim was a blue-collar, beer-drinking, hard-living guy with a swagger. The reason people in Buffalo loved him was that he was willing to point the finger at himself. He was a great leader. Jimmy was the only quarterback from the Class of ’83 who after he threw an interception, he’d go after the guy. He broke a guy’s leg tackling him. That’s what people in Buffalo expect from their quarterback. They expect passion.”‘
