filthymcnasty08 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 yeesh... Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss Height: 6-2. Weight: 215. Projected 40 Time: 4.75. Projected Round (2017): 4-6. 12/7/16: A torn ACL ended Kelly's 2016 season early, and given the timing of the injury, he won't be able to work out completely for NFL teams prior to the 2017 NFL Draft. Kelly will attend the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine surely, but won't be able to do all the drills. His team interviews will be critical as he is going to get grilled about his off-the-field antics. Kelly completed 63 percent of his passes in 2016 for 2,758 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. In losses to Alabama and Florida State where Ole Miss blew big leads, Kelly had terrible turnovers via bad decisions in crunch time, which made the comebacks possible. Overall, Kelly's performances this season confirm his gun-slinger style of play. He has the arm to make any throw, but could stand to get more consistent in his field vision, accuracy and decision-making. While Kelly can't be blamed for his defense struggling in allowing comebacks to Florida State and Alabama, Kelly doesn't show the leadership and intangibles to push his team to tough victories. He doesn't have a killer instinct and gets rattled by pressure; both the physical pass rush and the mental/emotional pressure of critical moments in big games. Kelly also needs to check his ego and clean up his off-the-field issues, too. He has had problems such as yelling at Clemson fans - while a Clemson student - in the stadium parking lot after a fender bender, getting arrested for a bar fight that involved threatening a mass shooting, running onto the field at his brother's high school game, trash-talking teammates on twitter, pursuing porn stars on twitter, creating a self-loving rap song; the list goes on with "Swag" Kelly. Being the nephew of Jim Kelly seems to have created an "Affluenza" quarterback. When you add in the off-the-field issues from Kelly's ego and behavior, it adds to the questions about his on-field intangibles and ability to lead a team. He has a big arm, but I don't think he has the decision-making and steadiness in his play to be a franchise quarterback. Kelly doesn't strike me as a winner.

VaMilBill Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The part where it says he doesn't have a killer instinct or is a winner is pretty ridiculous IMO. He was very aggressive at ole miss and won some remarkable games. This year the ole miss defense was God-awful and couldn't stop anything. Reminded me of the Bills defense vs the jets from week 2 except it lasted all season. Although I don't think Kelly will be a good pro QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I don't care. I'll take him in the third if he's available. If he ends up going to jail after a bar fight on Chippewa so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 He is not a smart human being. (My nephew went to St Joe's and played on the HS football team, and he's both smart and trustworthy.) He is also a lousy human being from what I know. Stupid and mean-spirited is no way to go through life. I don't want him on the Bills given the importance of intelligence at the QB spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have attitude problem that was taken care when he left Clemson 3 yrs ago, going on the Field to defend his brother wasn't the best move but does show his loyalty. Affluenza is hot garbage. Kelly is winner but didn't have the Oline to protect him nor the weapons he had last yr. If his Jr. yr was his Senior yr he would be a first round pick. He does need to make better decisions and not trust his arm so much but that is not much different than uncle Jim. Onfield talent round 3-5 projection UDFA once you add the off field He has first round Talent and the best arm in the draft. he had 3rd round production. His off field was old news but the brother incident brought all that back. I think he is worth taking a flyer on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I watched almost every Chad Kelly game at Ole Miss. His pure arm talent is top tier and his deep ball is a mirror image of Jimbo's. He knows how to throw the reciever open and has very good anticipation. He is a pure gunslinger. He doesn't worry about tight coverage and will try to fit the ball into tight spots. Most importantly, that thing that is turns most people off and gets people into trouble in the real world, cockiness, can also give you the edge you need to be great in sports. He is a lot like his uncle in terms of attitude. I believe his ceiling is very, very high. The big negative besides the off the field stuff is that he turns the ball over too much and that is true. I do think that is partially because Ole Miss plays in the SEC and play a lot of tough teams. He has no doubt made some really dumb mistakes, but a lot of NFL and college players have done much worse. The Bills have passed on a lot of great players and all time talent and positions of need over the last few years. We passed on the hometown boy in Gronk and he only ended up being the greatest Tight End of all-time. Now we have the Nephew of the greatest QB in the history of the franchise on draft boards, with a definite pro skill set, and a high ceiling. If we pass on Chad Kelly in the draft, and he ends up being a great NFL QB, it will be as embarrassing as anything we have done during the drought. I am totally bias, but after the 17 years, and all the bad picks and traded picks, are you telling me that we can't spend a 3rd or a 4th round pick on a guy who despite his misgivings, could end up being one of the best QB's in the NFL. And he is a hometown boy, and Jim Kelly's nephew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkx2 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 With the knee injury he's projected from the 6th round to being a free agent. I'd take him with one of our two 5th round pick. It's a no Brainer risk vs reward pick there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
