Iraq Vet Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) He is an idiot and blew his chance at millions of dollars. Late 5th at best. Some team will pick earlier.... so ok. We missed... the questions is: missed what? I don't want to spend millions on this mess.... he can compete with Tony Romo and CJ if we even pick him up. Edited January 4, 2017 by Iraq Vet
Bookie Man Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I'd take a shot on him in the 4th. It's true he needs to get his head on straight. But he makes some big time throws. I've seen all of his college throws. He has some Favre is his game.
Doc Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I'd have no problem with a 5th. He'd make the minimum, have a tiny signing bonus, and you could cut him with no repercussions.
Solomon Grundy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 No earlier than a 5th on the guy Bills thought the same about Dak and lost out. Let's see what supplemental picks they receive for losing FAs. If able to move back up in late 3rd, I'd snag him. My first 3 picks would be Corey Davis @10 if he's there, safety, safety.
Coach Tuesday Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 He sounds like Cutler on the field, and Manziel off of it... that said, I'd take him in the 5th if he's there. Too much upside. Also, what's wrong with "pursuing porn stars on Twitter"?
John from Riverside Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I just get visions of him accepting his award for the punt pass and kick a thon every year Its a shame kids gotta grow up
ricojes Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 He sounds like Cutler on the field, and Manziel off of it... that said, I'd take him in the 5th if he's there. Too much upside. Also, what's wrong with "pursuing porn stars on Twitter"? I was thinking Cutler as well. Not sure if he's as bad as Manziel off the field, he's set the bar pretty high for off field stupidity, but it is a concern.
KD in CA Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Who gives a flying !@#$ if he twitters a porn star? Jimbo was a punk too. Draft the kid and see if he grows up.
ndirish1978 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Well if we draft him then he and Duke Williams can commiserate on what it's like to have the same gross porn star shade you on twitter.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Sounds like you didn't watch any Ole Miss games this year. The o-line was terrible all season, the defense was a sieve. They made Vandys offense look like a powerhouse and the auburn game was very similar to our second Miami game this year. Kelly kept scoring but the defense couldn't stop squat. I saw enough of Chad Kelly throwing picks when he had time to throw. Edited January 4, 2017 by PromoTheRobot
Kirby Jackson Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Fwiw on the Kelly front he was on the verge of being replaced when he got hurt.
Chuck Wagon Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 If his last name was Smith or Jones would anyone on this board care about this kid? He's clearly got massive issues, he doesn't possess half the talent of guys like Manziel or Jamarcus Russell while bringing the off field baggage in spades. Why some people here are sold on him is beyond me.
hondo in seattle Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I'm amused by the fascination with Chad Kelly. Beside the Kelly name, he's just another college QB who occasionally flashes some talent. Edited January 4, 2017 by hondo in seattle
SF Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I'd take a shot at him and see if you could have Jim help mentor him. I see a lot of upside with this guy if he can cool some of the off field antics. Jim Kelly was a hot head too and it actually helped fuel his on-field performance.

Why some people here are sold on him is beyond me. I think that the reality is that people in Buffalo don't follow college football like other areas in the country do. There isn't really a local interest and it isn't a part of the culture. Buffalonians are not as well-versed in the strengths and weaknesses of prospects as people in Georgia (for example) may be. With that being said, we revert back to what we know or what we are comfortable with. We know that Chad is from WNY, was considered a high prospect at one time and is Jim's nephew. People in WNY have made a point to see him. At the same time they couldn't tell you where Mason Rudolph or Luke Falk play without googling it. It's not a knock, it's just a regional thing. If you wanted an opinion on a young NHL defenseman I'd ask someone from Buffalo over someone from Georgia. If I wanted to know about an OT from Tennessee I'd ask someone from a Georgia over someone from Buffalo. Obviously there are tons of exceptions but I think that you get the point...

Maury Ballstein Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Fwiw on the Kelly front he was on the verge of being replaced when he got hurt. Why ?
Kirby Jackson Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Why ? Shea Patterson The alumni, boosters, etc... were getting antsy. Chad had a bunch of turnovers and Ole Miss had essentially played themselves out of a potential playoff spot (I think that they were last in the SEC West at the time). There was a lot of talk that they were going to turn the page and then he went out for the year so it happened anyways. Edited January 4, 2017 by Kirby Jackson
2003Contenders Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Given the scrutiny that teams place on QBs during draft-time, I am fairly confident that Chad Kelly will go undrafted. While he may have plus physical talent, poor decision making on the field will cause his stock to fall. When the multiple off-field issues are taken into account, no team in the NFL (Bills included) will have the intestinal fortitude to invest a draft pick on him. If the Russ, the Pegulas, Whaley -- or whomever -- really think adding him because of his surname will create some positive chatter among the fan-base, they should wait until AFTER the draft to do so.
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I don't care. I'll take him in the third if he's available. If he ends up going to jail after a bar fight on Chippewa so be it. You and me both.
