He'll either put his big boy pants on & make it or become another Kellen Winslow Jr. !! ? You can't ride on what your family did before you & expect the NFL will just give you a pass it don't work like that !! But some seem to think it does & hopefully in Chad's case this will be a huge wake up call ? !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Be careful with assuming things. There are some pretty detailed, pretty bad stories about JK in his younger years that I have heard. MY guess is if JK would of been playing today with all the social media etc....he may have some legal problems of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hating. Nepotism sucks. Chad Kelly has no business in the NFL. There's someone out there not getting a chance because Uncle Jimmy picked up the phone. I think that sucks. Jim Kelly is just another former Bill. Beloved, schmoved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Look, at some point merit wins out—or the chaff will get swept away like yesterday’s complaints about Daboll’s play calling. My point is, does anyone here seriously think that Chad Kelly will stick on an NFL roster past cut down day if he can’t rely on his own arm to make the grade? Reich has won a SB as part of a coaching staff, and been a part of many other teams that have gotten there. Methinks he will smell a fake/poser the minute he sees one, and will do what’s best for his team now. If CK can make it, it won’t be because of JK’s laurels—it will be a legit talent basis. Have you actually watched his college tape before poo-pooing his prospects? He makes plays, sorry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 While Frank's time with Jim Kelly on the Bills probably pre-dates Chad Kelly's birth, I wouldn't be surprised if Frank has at least met Chad in the past. Chad has some physical talents. It may be worth giving him another shot as it does not cost the Colts a lot. Neither Luck or Brissett are ancient by NFL standards, and the odds of having to activate and play a third QB aren't huge. Chad has probably been told he's got one shot. If he screws up, that's probably his last chance to do anything in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 CK seems like one of those alcoholics who goes completely off the rails with any drinking.So that MAY be the key as to his football future. Other alkies could still play the sport(Namath) while still drinking. If he doesnt completely get on the wagon then look for a disastrous headline during this upcoming season.and that will be it.

Out of control pro athlete behavior isn’t really surprising. I guess my point is that JK never paid the price for his antics as far as on field success is concerned. Chad has thrown away multiple opportunities by getting kicked off teams. JK never got caught, Chad gets caught all the time. We don’t know if JK would have smartened up had he been kicked off a team. Chad’s repeat offenses are what troubles me. I’m not making a moral judgment, there’s just something to be said for being smart enough to not make the same mistake twice. Guys like JK who never got in legal trouble don’t have much motivation to change. Chad needed to change long ago because he’s thrown away his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) From Zac Keefer of The Indianapolis Star: QB Kelly in town trying out Former Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly, nephew of Hall of Famer Jim Kelly and a former seventh-round pick of the Denver Broncos who was released by the team last fall after being arrested on suspicion of criminal trespassing, is among the 34 tryout players in Indianapolis this weekend. Kelly looked sharp on Friday, the better of the three quarterbacks to see the field. Former Tennessee QB Keller Chryst and ex-New Mexico Highlands QB Cody Keith also saw snaps. The Colts’ current third-string quarterback, Phillip Walker, did not practice Friday. Most teams take 4 QBs to camp just to handle the reps needed to let 40+ offensive players get meaningful practice. I'd bet he gets to training camp and does well. He better have his counselor on speed dial to make it beyond that. I think that he is one of those types that can't back down when challenged. That works well on the field, causes all sorts of trouble off it. Edited May 5, 2019 by JESSEFEFFER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Not signed by the Colts post rookie camp.

Marshawn was already a pro when his troubles behind the wheel began... By the Time Chad was drafted, he had been booted from a D1 program (Clemson) and already had a disorderly conduct arrest under his belt. Either way, Marshawn's sheer ability was the reason he kept popping up on rosters, -not his hall-of-fame uncle.

He needs to be a total choir boy with Indy. Chris Ballard won’t tolerate anything from Kelly. He’s a big “character” guy, like Beane. If he doesn't do well both on and off the field, I agree, this is probably it for Kelly. He does have a chance to start rehabbing his image though. If he does that and flashes his talent on the field, someone could take a shot on him again if he doesn’t stick in Indy. We will see, I guess. I am not sure if Chad is capable of being as well behaved as he’s going to need to be to stick in Indy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
