Shouldn't he be more worried about his throwing ability?

That was my fundamental reaction

If some woman is chasing you with a suction wand at 03:00 hours, maybe running is the primary concern.  ?

Not sure now, Chad's past misadventures all sort of blur together in an unholy mess. ?

If he were able to turn his life around personally and on the field, it would be quite a reclamation story.

Dude was given more chances than any human being because of his uncle.

If he had no talent at all he wouldnt have continued getting chances because of Uncle Jim.  Montana's kid played college football and went nowhere, Jordan's kid played college basketball and got nowhere.   Chad got chances because he is good at football.  He may have a ten cent brain but he can play football, that fact is undeniable.

 

To be fair there are plenty of players currently in the NFL who have had more chances than Chad Kelly.

I would add that he had a cycle of success/screwup/success.......... that earned him another look.   Red Lion/St. Joe's/Clemson/EMCC-Ol' Miss/Denver/Indy(?)    He had some real nice runs against SEC defenses  (a TD against Georgia comes to mind) so he can scoot.  Without a combine or Pro Day numbers his athletic testing is off the grid but it would have been pretty high for a QB, imo.  He was throwing over 70 yards as a 15 year old.

 

The QB situation in Indy will be tough for him with Eason picked in the 4th and without preseason games to show well in.  Camp observers did not think he was beating out Lynch or Walker in the practices but on the field in actual game conditions he played very well.

Jim Kelly’s backup qb signed him after he was cut after being a 7th rounder by his friend Elway.  Chadwick does have some talented but it’s really naive to pretend like he has been given more chances because of Jimbo.

I think the stat is he’s been kicked off his high school, college, and pro teams.  Impressive.  Again, how many guys get more chances than he got, who have proved absolutely zero at the NFL level?

You’re naive.  Chad has/had talent, yes, and that’s why he got a scholarship to Clemson (which he subsequently effed up because he’s a moron).  Then, yes, he had a decent career at Ole Miss but didn’t even get drafted until Jim’s buddy took him at the end of the 7th round.  Then, after failing to impress in Denver, Jim’s other buddy signed him in Indy.  This jackass of a kid is ONLY in the NFL because of Jim’s relationships.  Period.

Perhaps Montana and Jordan had more morals than Jimbo.

 

Name one QB who's had this many chances with a career stat line of one rush for -1 yards and 0 passes?

 

He's a bum.

Riiiiiiiiiiight. Dude couldn't even outrun a random Englewood homeowner. :bag:

 

Homeowner beat him with a vacuum tube. Such an incredible story. Followed by the best, and certainly most lopsided, mugshot I've ever seen.

I think we all know 2nd to 3rd string guys bounce around from team to team, practice squad to practice squad without ever seeing real game action.

 

The fact is the kid has played well enough in the preseason to have considerations.   He was also good enough at Ole Miss to be a draft pick.  Had he been able to take part in pro days and combine he may have went higher.

 

I agree he has wasted a lot of opportunities.   However, that doesn't make him a bum.   No one likes to talk about the work he does with local groups like the ARC of Erie County or how is has openly talked about not following his path to young football players at Kelly's camp.    

 

If we are being honest and not attacking him personally he has NFL talent or he wouldn't be there.

A lot of things make him a bum.  And he's only there because of his last name.  Would love to see him turn his life around (which looks to be in progress) and become a better person.  That would be great for him.  But he is not deserving of another chance to play in the NFL, in my opinion.

By definition, every player who makes it onto a roster has "NFL talent", no matter how bad they actually play.  Nate Peterman  has "NFL talent". So did "Johnny Football". So what?

Fans in Denver and Indy liked him because he brought some passion/intensity to preseason games that usually lack any.  Fans at Ole Miss liked him for the same thing, imo, and for beating Alabama, LSU and Auburn in their Sugar Bowl Championship season, which was unprecedented there.  His arm is upper echelon,  throwing for over 70 yds. as a 15 year old but without any more current numbers.  In a really bad run up to the draft, he wrecked his knee in November, got disinvited to the combine (maybe over threatening to use, allegedly, an AK-47 two years prior) and then destroyed his wrist tendon at his pro day.  He never got the athletic testing that NFL prospects usually get and any team that drafted him in 2017 knew he would not be ready to play until 2018, thus the Mr. Irrelevant draft status.

 

In my experience, hyper competitive people are often jerks especially when they aren't smart/mature enough to know when to turn it off.  But, it doesn't mean that they aren't decent, charitable  human beings in other settings.  Not fighting the home owners and police after that Halloween party incident was actually a step forward for him.  

 

I suspect the conditions the Colts put on him when he was signed involved some sort of counseling and Chad seems to have done well there.  Beating out 2020 4th rounder Eason without preseason games will be tough and his NFL future continues to look shaky.  If the Colts could trade Brissett, maybe some team suffers a major QB injury before the season starts,  they clear ~ $16 million in cap space and it would be good news to both Kelly and Eason.   Jim has many nephews currently playing or who have played football at the college level  that will never get a whiff of the NFL so it can't be just his last name.

Chad has been on his best behavior for 2 years and showed in preseason play that he can at the very least be a serviceable backup. I hope he gets another chance somewhere.

 

Apparently the Colts don't agree with you. 

 

He released when they cut down to 53, apparently no other teams felt he was worth the backup slot then either.  I didn't even realize the Colts had resigned him to the PS.

Chad Kelly says he’s faster than any other QB in the league except Lamar Jackson—I’d put my $$ on Josh Allen though too.

Well when you suck at QBing and live off your Uncles Reputation eventually you have to do something.

Now he has more time to get ready to race.

 

or if someone still wants him - free to a good home (please keep vacuum attachments hidden).

 

Not sure where you land after this? Maybe back in Denver with their QB issues.

 

Wow, Krish Hogan now on the Colts??
