Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Kelly's measurables will be good. He has a cannon (maybe the strongest in the draft), he is really athletic (rushed for double digit TDs playing in the SEC) and has the pedigree. Chad Kelly will look impressive. My only reservation is his decision making on and off the field. In terms of skills he is fantastic. two yrs behind tyrod would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) two yrs behind tyrod would be ideal I don't disagree at all. I like Kelly and think that he has a chance to be a good pro QB. If he is in Buffalo though there will be a large segment that want him starting yesterday. It will make for an ugly QB situation. This year was ugly and there was one guy that was light years ahead of the other 2. Imagine throwing a talented Chad Kelly in there?

seadog Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I say no way at this point. As to being dumb, there was Terry Bradshaw. But Bradshaw had outstanding measurables. Does this kid? I agree he may dumb as a rock as long as he has football iq and toughness. Jim kellh partied hard at Miami and was no genius, but he is tough and has that something special aboug him. This kid will end up on a roster when where for now long? Let it be Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 He has NFL potential but I think he should come back to school another year Yes... Needs another year for sure...But that Ole Miss team probably won't be as good next year either...It's an interesting decision he has to make...It's not cut and dry... I'd take him...I'm assuming he's matured a bit...I doubt very much he'll be a 1st round pick even if he comes back...Maybe mid-late 1st with a great 2016...I really don't think there's much doubt he has potential...I like his game...He's a competitive kid...

This year was ugly and there was one guy that was light years ahead of the other 2. Imagine throwing a talented Chad Kelly in there? I really don't think the coaches care what the fans think as evidence of this yr (and any other for that matter) so if they are smart they will sit him till he is ready. Taylor is good enough to keep him on the bench so I don't think they would rush him out there (I hope) Yes...

With Treadwell, Tunsil and others leaving he might be better off leaving. Nothing worse than coming back for another year and having a down yr like Cook ,who lost a lot of weapons, or a bad yr like Cardale Jones who just sux.

The_Dude Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don't know about Kelly but we need something other than Taylor. Taylor can make big plays but he has no consistency and he can't complete passes over the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Smart decision, although I understand the temptation, especially in such a weak QB draft. I'm guessing he was informed that he wasn't projected to go in the first two rounds. If he stays on the same trajectory and can smooth out some of his mechanical issues, I think he stands a good chance of getting into the first round next year. GO BILLS!!!

If he can build a rapport with Kelly, it could be useful for both of them. Also has Damore'ea Stringfellow who's immensely talented but dumb as a rock. Got booted out of Washington.

That's really good when coupled with playing in the toughest conference. Does that mean we'd be talking about him.... No but it is the offseason.

Not that we would draft him simply because he's jims nephew. But givenhow he looks legit, would the part about who he is and where he's from and the potential negatives of that actually deter the Bills.
