He asked the Eagles to consider him. However, they did not, eventually signing Tim Tebow instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) And Jim Kelly didnt want to go to the bills? and? ? Chip " the Genius" Kelly.at least he gave up a starting QB and a 2nd round pick for a guy making 13 mill. Could have had Taylor for nothing.

You do know that Jim Kelly initially didnt want to come to the Buffalo Bills right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) You do know that Jim Kelly initially didnt want to come to the Buffalo Bills right?yes but didn't know what it had to do with Taylor? He wasn't drafted here, he chose to come here. Edited October 5, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You do know that Jim Kelly initially didnt want to come to the Buffalo Bills right? i think it was more that your comment seemed a little out of place. that TT reached out to see if there was interest from a team barely registers as a blip, so comparing it to kelly not wanting to be here seemed odd.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 So a free agents first choice wasnt Buffalo. Isnt that usually the case? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 OK I see why my point is being questioned One was a free agent and one was drafted My point is that both of them originally the bills was not their first choice....however it worked out that they both ended up being bills......and with Kelly that was a major success....with TT it seems at this point like it was also a good move.

I thought it was very interesting about Chip's decision making. Tebow instead? Not something I thought I had heard until now.

Bookie Man Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It may seem Tyrod would be a good fit for a Chip Kelly offense. But I don't think he gets rid of it fast enough and I'm not sure if the seam throw is his forte. I think those are points of emphasis for his system. Jmo.

NoSaint Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 So a free agents first choice wasnt Buffalo. it didnt even say that - it said one place he was interested in as a potential fit was philly. id question the guy a lot more if he hired an agent that lazily waited for offers to come in, instead of going out and trying to find interest where he could produce.

Peter Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I also read that TT was going to get a diamond studded mouth guard. That was not true . . . I have no idea whether this is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 it didnt even say that - it said one place he was interested in as a potential fit was philly. id question the guy a lot more if he hired an agent that lazily waited for offers to come in, instead of going out and trying to find interest where he could produce. Was about to make this exact point. The article says nothing about how he ranked his options -- only that he wanted to have more than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Buffalo wasn't his first choice, isn't that usually the case with free agents. never said it wasn't his first choice... Just that he pursued Philly for an opportunity and was shut down for Tim Tebow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Doesn't necessarily look bad for the Bills that he reached out to another team that may have been able to use him before he was signed by the bills. I would have too if I was looking for a job as a QB. This looks much worse on the Eagles and the genius Chip that they passed on bringing him in and instead thought Tebow was the better option.........
