StHustle Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Chad Kelly is light years better than Jake Dolegala. I believe Chad has learned his lesson. He knows he is on his final straw before a lifetime Manziel blackball. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 He had a perfect opportunity to get some spot starts late last year in Denver, and maybe could have been a stopgap if he looked as good as he did in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Chad is similar to Jim except for the talent, intelligence and handsomeness... He'd be nothing without that last name and he’s disrespecting it all the way to the xfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Will be a good place for him, i think Frank will be a positive influence on him. If he fails there its over. If he develops well he could be traded for assets, which i what i hop happens here with Jackson. 6 hours ago, Binghamton Beast said: Good post...but then I remembered he came from a place that had John Elway in the organization. Elway was probably there with him at the party and made Chad a scapegoat, its not like he cut everybody from the team who was there.

Chad might think he learned something, but it might be like a drunk who says they’ll never drink again every time they wake up with a hangover.

Except I'm not sure it's true? I know Jim drank and womanized, but Chad seems more out of control. Was it hidden better? Idk. Everyone likes to compare Jim and Chad. I’m not convinced that it’s a reasonable comparison, regardless of the era they played. Chad has a history of arrests and legal issues, Jim did not have such problems. There’s a big difference between running afoul with the law versus not having great character. In Chad’s case making the same mistakes repeatedly shows a lack of self awareness and intelligence. Jim’s shenanigans didn’t get him kicked off multiple teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I agree MAJBobby, Jim must have called in a favor to frank. I believe Jim has been working with Chad recently too, iirc.

LabattBlue Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 You would think Chad was the next Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, Aaron Hernandez and Rae Carruth all rolled into one, with the way he is maligned on this board. If he didn't have the talent to play in the NFL, he wouldn't be getting these "2nd chances" in college or in the NFL. It was nothing to do with who his Uncle is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious why being cut from an NFL team would be a wake-up call, while being cut from a major college program that was his gateway to the NFL and going from a highly-touted highschool recruit to "Mr Irrelevant" (last pick of the NFL draft) did not?

Yet his talent (in a QB starving league) has only landed him in two Organizations that have Jim Kelly friends in prominent roles.
