26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Pretty good performance overall with two TDs and one Int. Should have had another TD with a drop in the EZ by one of his guys, but also had a pick six dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 3 bad decisions. Out of all his throws. And a real long throwing motion (that is why that DB was able to easily break on what should have been a Pick 6). I thoight he had a more compact throwing motion in College. Not sure maybe he always had that big looping motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Always thought we should have taken a flyer on this kid. Buffalo might be too much pressure for him though. Either way, I’d be happy to see him succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I’ve always liked Chad. Really thought the Bills should have taken him, though according to some people in the media playing in Buffalo would’ve been a huge distraction for Chad who had some odd-the-field issues. He’d have access to the same crowd and places that he ran into trouble. Seems like he needed a fresh start 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) He did a lot of good and a lot of bad. He was often late to decide what to do and throw the ball. That led to an easy pick at one point. He tended to lock onto his target before throwing, again making it easy for DBs to know where the ball was going. Arm strength seems suspect. Not horrible, but could be stronger. He showed an over-eagerness to pull the ball down and run. Though when he did, he often ran for some nice yardage. No doubt he is a scrapper and gamer type player, but I think he lacks the tools to be a good QB at the NFL level.

bobobonators Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Lynch is absolute garbage. And Kelly is a major wild card. Broncos are going to probably need a real #2 QB. We have AJ. I would trade them AJ for a draft pick and go with Peterman/Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I'd say he looked okay; nothing really stuck out as great to me. Talent was never his issue. He could have been a day 1 pick if he wasn't such a head case. Day 2 pick if he'd even just been a normal level head case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: Don Beebe's kid plays for the Vikings. I like his last name as much as anyone but saying he is going to be their starter is a stretch. He made some good throws but also made some bad decisions. The one pass should have been a pick six if that DB could catch. I would like to see him make more throws while under pressure or avoiding pressure. A lot of his throws were from a clean pocket which nobody around him. He did make some good plays with his feet and seems like the passes he made were in the right spot. I am curious to see what his deep ball looks like because it looks like he is putting everything he has on throws over 10 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Bicep Tattoo lol Elway is all in on Keenum as long as Keenum steadies the offense. If Keenum resembles LA Rams Keenum, the leash wont be very long and he wont be all in on him anymore. Not saying Chad Kelly is on his heels to start by any means, but Keenum is far from a sure thing, he has to show last year was no fluke. If he does, he will certainly have a longer leash moving forward. But right now, he's got a mostly bad resume with one surprise year, and lucky for Keenum that surprise year is his most recent body of work so he got paid off it. I thought the Bills would have taken Kelly personally, and I thought they should have and still do. Personally, I don't really care right now in terms of the Bills because I love Allen as our prospect, but I can honestly say I would rather have Chad (instead of NP) battling AJM to start or be the BU to Allen right now because I remain quite skeptical NP has a good enough arm to have sustained success as a starter in the league. Once teams get some tape on NP, I think they will time his below average arm too easily. Not to mention, he hasn't shown to be able to handle pressure in the pocket well either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he’s the type of guy who makes one bad play for every good play. He can go from looking like Peyton Manning one play, to looking like JaMarcus Russell the next. He’s a high risk/high reward style QB. Today’s NFL isn’t particularly geared toward that style QB. The elite QB’s in today’s NFL do a remarkable job with ball security.

As a non Kelly fan, at least in Buffalo as think his uncle's shadow and local temptations not best for him, his highlights impressed me. Yet I can't see him beating out Case Keenum, at least this season, but he could beat out Lynch for the backup job in Denver and after that who knows.

Boatdrinks Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Good point by Brooks. I’m glad Kelly has done well and he deserves a chance. He’s got some ability, though it’s sometimes overstated on this board ( and underrated at times , to be fair). I recall Mayock during that combine/ draft cycle talking about Kelly and saying he felt he had 2nd round talent. He also said the off field concerns and injury would push him lower than that. I’d still say that was probably the most accurate assessment of CK potential. I hope it works out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a strong arm was supposed to be one of his selling points. It looks to me as though he’s still throwing to college-open windows and might have a lot more picks against 1st string pass coverage, but I could be wrong That said I wish him the best.

34-78-83 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I felt like Kelly looked quite good vs. the competition he faced. Nice live arm and good accuracy. I thought he showed that he has learned from some of the flaws you guys are regurgitating from his college years. Those bad habits only showed themselves on a couple to a few throws. Not half of them. He's got a shot at developing. If he can put it together 2 weeks in a row that will bode well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
