Boatdrinks Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) It's a perfect story of human redemption. Stories sell. Kelly will be the only thing that can get fans interested. McDermott is a boring speaker. I expect a boring draft. This is needed. Ok, here is the bet. If Kelly is drafted or signed by Buffalo as FA I win and you lose. Winner gets to choose avatar for the loser for 1 month. Sell what? If they take Kelly it's because they like him and his value of talent vs that point of the draft. That's it. Tickets don't matter in the NFL anymore. The Bills haven't had any trouble selling tickets throughout the entire drought. Fans go because the tickets are cheap and it's a tailgate.

Billsfaninwtn Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Kelly on WGR. He and his agent are hearing anywhere from Rd 2-5. I've said late second early third all year long. Can't wait to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfansinceday1 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 5th or 6th round would not be a bad decision IMHO. I have to believe that Uncle Jim and Coach Sean would be able to keep him on the straight and narrow. His surgeries...not that's another matter.

Can't wait to see what happens. i guess seeing how the qbs come off the board will give a hint as to where he'll get picked. i for one sure hope we bring him in. Kelly on WGR. He and his agent are hearing anywhere from Rd 2-5. I've said late second early third all year long. Can't wait to see what happens. i'm afraid if there is a run on qbs from 12 to 32, those teams picking high in the second round could snag him.

Lothar Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Frankly, this would be the worst place for him to land. Too many demons for a leadership position. You can get away with it if you weren't going to be the future face of the franchise. I think he flames out early from the pressure, especially in Buffalo.

I disagree, provided T T performs well in the new O which I believe he will, Chad Kelly becomes a long term project that would have very little imediate pressure. Frankly, I don't think Kelly worries about pressures from playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This kid is going to be a steal for anyone that takes him. He has the upside, if you get him in the 3rd or higher he will represent a minimal cap hit and can ride the bench for a few seasons.

zow2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Other than showing up to his Pro day, the Bills haven't shown much interest publicly in Chad Kelly. Probably a smoke screen thing. Keep other teams thinking they are disinterested. I mean Uncle Jim was a cocky SOB back in the day too...and look how he turned out. and his nephew grew up wearing Bills gear. Chad is talented for sure and would be totally invested in a reboot to his reputation and career w/ Buffalo. I say grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't 1985 Sabres sell out every game. Near the end of the year I noticed tickets dropping below 10 on Stubhub. What do you know? Everyone is fired and replaced. This stuff does matter. When fans lose interest that's when people get fired. Bills must have a computer that monitors customer sentiment because it's uncanny how the firings happen right after loss of fan interest.

NoSaint Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Sal is pathetic. I believe the word you are looking for is "correct" As in: Sal is correct. Coming home is likely not the answer for a guy with his baggage. Getting back into shenanigans with high school friends and his enablers is no good. If only he had a guy like Patrick peterson is for honey badger-- live with him, mentor him, get him away from bad influences.

Bills must have a computer that monitors customer sentiment because it's uncanny how the firings happen right after loss of fan interest. Firings happen because of the performance. Fan interest wanes when the performance is disappointing compared to expectations. There's nothing uncanny about it. Tickets dropped because the games became meaningless as the team underperformed. Hockey is a much more ticket driven league than the NFL and comparisons between the two are not necessarily valid. Different business model altogether.
