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 .

He may have been the last pick but it wasn't because of his talent. In 2015 he was considered a high 1st rounder. He also was the last QB to go in to Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama laying 45 points on them. Chad is as good as any QB who's come out in the last 5 years but he just has way to many head problems.

Yea, but otherwise he’s totally the right guy for us

What's  "a Peterman"? Is it someone like Peterman?  There is no equal!

It's too bad about this young man. The opportunity he had at this point in his life to eventually be a successful qb in the nfl. Make unbelievable money for years to

 

come & have lots of opportunities as a result of that, for himself and his family to contribute positively to our society for years and years to come and he's squandering

 

that away. I figure he has to be very immature, and or very troubled inside to keep blowing his chances as this has been his history. Of course he can regroup, straighten

 

himself out, and have his opportunity sometime in the nfl. But he's treading on thin ice, in my opinion, and others will ( may are) lose faith in him as a player in the nfl.

this sad sack clown is done....thought he had infinite lives at EVERY level because of his last name and Uncle Jimbo.....certainly would bet Jimbo put in a call to Elway about "giving him a shot" and he blew THAT......doubt Jimbo does that again as in "once a mistake twice a fool".......

Fair share of partying?   WOW.  I was in my 20's when Jim and the boys tore up this town...The stories...The drug use...The beating up of women... UGH.   It was much more than a little partying.   TRUST ME...

Those Bills teams would honestly rank right up there as one of the hardest partying pro sports teams of all time.  I don't think the younger generation realizes how wild those guys were.

Kelly has a first round to second round grade. Maurice hurst had a first round grade and went in the 4th or 5th because of medical issues. And by small problems I mean he isn’t a drug addict, rapist, beating his wife/kids, or anything crazy he is doing stupid kid *****. And he was in HS he was a kid. He will calm down as he gets older and he is at the age where being around his family will help him calm down. In HS kids are gonna do what they want no matter who they are around. ***** they might rebel even more because they are around their family. All his issues have been stupid *****

if there was any time to take a FREE gamble on a potential star, it's NOW. what do we have to lose?  we can't wait long , some team will scoop him up for peanuts and he'll mature and be great.  i would argue that any  20 something yr. old drunk turns into an idiot.

They would have given those 80's Mets teams a run for their money. The Cowboys of the early 90's were criticized as party animals, but even they couldn't believe how hard the Bills went.

 

Speaking of Jim, this book just came out, give the excerpt a read:

 

Book excerpt: For USFL's Houston Gamblers, high times on and off the field

Not shocking to me at all but interesting stuff. I've always said it would be amazing if a tell-all behind the scenes book ever came out about the Super Bowl era Bills off the field life but I feel like the Bills have tried distancing themselves from that stuff as much  as they can.  I've heard alot of them admit on record that they went pretty hard but none of them every discuss any details.  I read the book about the 90's Cowboys "Boys Will Be Boys"(at least I think that's what it was called) and it was pretty wild stuff.  Also in the Brett Favre book "Gunslinger" it got into some details of how he lived off the field back in his day and he was another maniac.

Nope. If there were camera phones in the early 90s pretty much everyone from the bills but Mark Kelso would be in jail.

I think many thought he had first rd talent- unfortunately for him the risk was too great. Teams have learned from the Johnny Manziel’s and Ryan Leaf’s.

I think, in most cases, you're absolutely right.  But Burfict is an example of a 1st round talent who went undrafted because of non-football-related concerns.  I'm not saying that Chad Kelly was a first round talent, by any means.  Just saying that guys do fall because of attitude/behavior concerns every year - although, a drop from 1 to 7 (or undrafted) seems rare.

A qb is completely different. Kelly played in a gimmick college offense, had injury concerns, and Is a giant moron.  No one but crazy Bills fans thought he was close to a first rounder.  A lot people didn’t think he would get drafted.

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 

Do you know him personally?  How do you get that perception from everything we have seen of him? For wanting to on the Bills he has a funny way of showing it. Another way of showing it would have been to work really hard, stay out of trouble, learn as much as he can so when he is a free agent he can see if the Bills have any interest in signing him.

Fwiw, Mayock stayed with his assessment of second round ability for Kelly throughout the combine/ draft. He tempered this with quick acknowledegment of the off field issues and injury being major factors. Seemed like a fair and measured take at the time. Just one analyst’s opinion, but Mayock is a guy I generally respect even if I don’t always agree.

i have plenty of Swag Kelly stories that never made the news.  That said, as overrated as he is here and being a giant moron, id take him over other options.  That’s more a reflection of them though.

Would if his name wasn’t Kelly?  We fall in love with college qbs every year who aren’t good - Mettenberger, Mallett, Cook.

 

with how starved the nfl is for qbs, you don’t fall that much in the draft if they think you can be a player.

That offense is very gimmicky and qb friendly.  It’s why Mahomes got knocked because a lot guys put up numbers in that type of offense.

if his name wasn't kelly?...uhhh yeah, i thought he was worth a 4th...and since his name was kelly, i watched a ton of tape. bottom line is that he will most likely still get his chance and be good.

If his name was "Chad Marino", and he was Dan Marino's nephew, 90% of the posters here would be snickering about his arrest. And hardly anyone here would be openly advocating for the Bills to sign this drug-addled idiot.

Quote

 

There are a lot of quarterback-needy teams in the NFL. If Kelly were clean off the field, he probably would get drafted as high as the mid-rounds given the demand for the position. Obviously, the Browns are in dire need of a solution to their quarterback quandary. Cleveland also is loaded with draft picks, so Kelly could be in play for one of the organization's picks on Day 3.

It says that if he were clean off the field, he could be a mid round pick.

I’m telling you Chad is a franchise QB. Surround him with his family in Buffalo to help him off field.

 

 

1) I think you might need to read up on Hugh Freeze

 

2) Kelly threaten to shoot up a Buffalo bar and has been involved in several other non reported instances

 

3) Swag dms porn whores who clown him

 

4) our qbs do really suck though

I dont get wrapped up in the name- never thought Eli was all that special tbh. And your right, we do tend to go crazy over QB’s because the league is qb driven. If Chads head was straight he may have been special- I dont think of us will ever find out.
