NoHuddleKelly12 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Saw this posted on the Bills site today, and seems only fitting to share in honor of Jimbo's (60th!!) birthday this week. For my money, throw #5 is just plain sick. Who said Jim couldn't move in a pocket? https://www.buffalobills.com/video/nfl-throwback-12-amazing-jim-kelly-throws 2 2 4

LeGOATski Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Amazing control on all those throws. Spinning it with ease. No wind-up, flick of the wrist 25 yards on the money to Reed. 2
K-9 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 That was a nice stroll down memory lane indeed. Replete with a Jamie Mueller TD catch. 1
GoBills808 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Man could really spin it some great looking pockets too 1 1
Bills92 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Back in the 90's during the Superbowl Run, I remember (I believe) NBC Football Broadcaster saying.. the Bills never lost a game.. they just ran out of time.. and watching this video I am reminded of that....When you truly have a franchise quarterback you are never really out of a game. Also.. can't help but notice that two of those passes were from the same Sunday night Prime time game back late in 94 against the Dolphins. For those that grew up in that era, I think we could all agree.. there was nothing like beating up on those Dolphins... Kelly, Reed, and Thomas always came out to play against them... 1 1
MJS Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Cool thing is, you could easily fill a top 50 throws from Kelly without having any significant drop off. 2

machine gun kelly Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 If Allen could just learn to throw into those really tight windows like Kelly made look so easy, we’d be in the hunt for the SB every year. Don’t get me wrong as he is improving with each year, but Kelly was fearless and made it look so easy. Great remembering those days when all of us were a bit younger. 1

"Rich Stadium South" I believe is what Joe Robbie Stadium's nickname was during our SB era--we usually took names down there and you can see from Kelly's ridiculous throws in that game for example, I'm sure many a time the Dolphins thought they had em on the ropes only to be burned on the back end. I'm sure to this day Marino would tell you but for the Bills, he would've seen a few more SB games than just the one in '84. 3 hours ago, machine gun kelly said: If Allen could just learn to throw into those really tight windows like Kelly made look so easy, we’d be in the hunt for the SB every year. Don’t get me wrong as he is improving with each year, but Kelly was fearless and made it look so easy. Great remembering those days when all of us were a bit younger. The good news is, Allen's already shown the ability to take a phase of his game that needs work (like the short/intermediate game from his rookie year), make it a focus in the off-season and turn it into a strength--I have little doubt this trend can and will continue with him. He's a born leader of men who will follow him into a brick wall and fearless to a fault--both qualities we haven't seen at the QB position since Kelly, which I am very much enthused about.
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Side note--did anyone else notice the 'Mark Kelso' helmet that Beebe appears to be rocking in throw #1? It's escaped my memory that anyone else on the Bills during that time ever would've worn that!

JMF2006 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Its been a long time since this franchise had a stud at QB. The good news is we finally have one again 1
BigBillsFan Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Best video I'll see today. That man could throw the freaking deep ball. He was better with flat feet in a tight pocket than 99.9% of all QBs on planet earth. What a talent. My favorite play was him running down this one interception and tackled with authority. 1

T master Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 As we all do i remember the glory days & can't wait for the Bills time to come again & think it is very close, not sure if we will ever as fans have it as good as we did when Kelly & the crew were running up & down the field but it could be much better than it has been in a long time !! But watching that clip i didn't remember until watching that what a great arm Kelly had i always thought in comparison to like Marino he had a very average arm but after watching this it just reminded me how good a QB he really was !! If there is one thing i would have wished had happened is that Kelly would have come to the Bills right out of the draft & played his entire career here !! That has always left a bad after taste for Kelly ... 1
