I saw EVERY game of Kelly’s Career Live/ TV… especially the Glory Years, his Playoffs and Super Bowls!
Kelly is ranked #34 All Time with 237 TD Passes and #32 in Passing Yards with 35,400.
A HOFer. NO stiff. Hell, #17 is still chasing his Billy’s records!
The game’s QBs today however, are built on agility, speed and quickness afoot combined with precise rocket arms and touch. Kelly lacked a lot of the first part. And it is also unfair to do these generational comparisons because the Jack Tatums of today aren’t generally looking to knock your head off or drive you into the first row!
They can’t!
Still, the following would be my list AHEAD of Jimbo if you must do this.
Allen
Mahomes
Burrow
Stafford
Lamar
Love
Goff
Herbert
And just remember, 2 of those Stafford (#10 in TD Passes) and Goff (#41- should he get the Lions to the SB) are going to Canton! At least, 3-5 others will as well, barring injury and one is too new.
