DBilz2500 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 As much as I loved Jim as a QB he was awful in his brief stint as a color commentator for NBC back in ‘97. As I am accustomed to doing I like to find an old game against the Bills upcoming opponent and I stumbled upon the big comeback win for the Bills vs the Colts.

Jim Kelly is a saint and has never done any wrong. But, you’re not wrong. There’s a reason he didn’t continue in that gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he did a season on ESPN’s Sunday Countdown as an in-studio analyst. Probably around 98 or so? I thought he was pretty decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Kelly has more toughness in one toe than Jim does in his entire body. Case closed. And I agree with Kelly on Harbaugh being a crybaby. Anyone who has seen him on the sidelines as a coach would agree. The guy acts like an adolescent at best. Couple that with him having a short temper? What a combo.

In Summary Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 "The moral of the story: Never question Harbaugh's toughness." (??) They have it backwards it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I remember a game where Kelly was doing color, they walked injured player to locker room, announcer says something like they are taking him in to tape him up. Kelly responded “you think that’s what they do in the locker room? Tape guys up?”. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Bill Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Jim was a player, teammate, an after the game player (if you know what I mean), a future great father and husband, an incredible friend and family member. But....never a coach or commentator. Hevwas no Marv. Many greats cannot coach, and Jim had marbles in his mouth as does half of Pennsylvania. I was so proud to be in Canton for his HOF day.
