I would def sign him to the practice squad

 

No chance - this guy obviously has issues one of which is substance abuse. Don't want him around any Bills, including the practice squad. But wouldn't be surprised if Jimbo had already made some calls to management about his nephew.

The thing that sucks is he is obviously a NFL talent level player........

 

If he is truly living with his uncle....then what better place to monitor him but by family in Buffalo

I get your point but you’ve seen the crowds at Bills game right?  I’d bet half of this board has been in a fight of a game they weren’t apart of. :)

Don't forget about all the times you threatened to bring your assault rifle to get revenge against a nightclub after being kicked out.

Why do you think he would be a saint living with Jim if he was signed in Buffalo? He got into plenty of trouble when he was here, both as a player and even later.  Nothing about his character suggests he's going to just move-in with big Uncle Jim and fairy tale style live this proper life where he learns which side of the plate the salad fork goes.

 

Chad Kelly has made the kind of mistake that screams abuse issues.  He needs to go to counseling and likely some form of rehab before I'd even consider wasting any minute of my life signing this guy.  McDermott also seems to avoid players like this, so I'll be absolutely shocked if he signs here.

John, the guy's 24 years old. What's Jim gonna do, watch him 24x7 ? From the looks of it, Jim is never home either. Chad needs to get treated for his issues and at this point probably thinks there's nothing wrong with him. I want him nowhere near Josh Allen even if it appears Josh is a really good kid.

 

Jim could do him the best favor by getting into rehab. Let him sit out for a year, clean up, and then beg for tryouts. Good news is he's got ability and my sign on somewhere next year.

As you know, I’m not high on Allen.  But Kelly would have an awful impact on him.  

 

But then I see we have Nate Peterman and Derek Anderson and I start thinking about it. ?

These "Jimbo would turn Chad around and set him straight in Buffalo" are simply......off the wall!!

 

Why on earth would anyone believe this?  Like Jim has any interest in babysitting this GROWN MAN when Chad HAS a father, who is still alive, in Western NY?

 

This kid needs to get out of pro sports, go home to his mom and dad and get a regular jib where he has to show up to do real work every day.  He can't handle being a big time athlete--he never could.

Given the guy's off field history,  what make anyone think that another NFL team will waste time on him?  After a certain point,  its not worth it

I understand he has had small problems that under a microscope and strung together teams will not even look his way. But it really is just young kid *****. Stupid mistakes that I think being back home and around his family they could be kept under wraps. I believe Chad Kelly has wanted nothing more his entire life then to be a Buffalo Bill. He grew up watching how Bills fans and the city of Buffalo loved and embraced his uncle. I’m sure he grew up wanting the exact same thing. He has publicly spoken he wants to be the QB to take the Bills to the playoffs. I mean he was a 1st round talent I feel like if he keeps at it someone will give him a shot

Small problems?   This guy was kicked off all his football teams from high school through the NFL.    That tells me that there are some fairly big problems.     How would being at home help things considering the problems were already apparent when he was in high school?

 

Also, Kelly was the last pick in the 7th round.   No one considered him a 1st round talent .

Anyone here think JK was never so wasted he would have wandered into someone's home and got arrested.............I mean if he didn't have a posse of bros to either stop him or stop the homeowner from making the call?

While I know Uncle Jim (along with the rest of those Bills) did more than his fair share of partying at that age, I'd like to at least think they were able to hold their liquor better than that. But yeah, they grew up before everybody had a video camera in their pocket that can send it worldwide instantly.

Yeah the whole personal conduct thing changed FAST.    But JK and bros were pretty ill-behaved even by the standards of the time when people expected bad behavior from entitled athletes.  I've heard of an instance where a drunk JK struck a woman in a bar.......that would have been pretty much death penalty in todays game.    Back then it was hard to even get a popular player arrested.   

 

But as stupid as it was for someone with his background, IMO CK would not have been released for this kind of thing 5-7 years ago.    He might not have even been arrested.   Cops might have smoothed it over.   Law enforcement can't afford to intervene in such things anymore.
