I don't see that happening.

Many don't, but they are basing the longevity on an outdated norm. Brees and Brady are clearly outliers in a time that all QB's are projected as playing longer.

Jim Kelly ... Great player and upstanding guy but his nephew Chad Kelly? Pass. He will fold on you like a lawn chair.

He has had multiple arrests for a variety of misdemeanors. He ran out on the field to jump into a fight at a high school football game during his bye week. The 22 year old College senior had to be restrained from hitting 16 and 17 year old high school kids. He also walked out on his teammates last year and left the stadium whining like a baby when they were losing. He didn't even stick around to shake hands with the winners. Wasn't he kicked out of Clemson due to character issues ??

How would that translate to the NFL where you have to be a leader of grown MEN inside a huddle and locker room?

As for his play on the field, he is a pick 6 waiting to happen & possibly game changing INT in 4th quarter of a game.

I don't think Chad is on Sean Payton's radar.

Yeah Kelly has some issues. That guy has pissed away his professional career before it even started. Character issues is putting it nicely.

He also re-injured his wrist just 15 throws into his pro day.

The timing on out and curl routes is critical for our offense...

If he gets healthy, I'd be interesting in Chad Kelly's velocity...

There's just no QB worth wasting an upper round pick on this year.

foreverfan · 04-04-2017, 07:36 PM

Balls that are thrown too hard usually have too much spin on the throw...
This results in more dropped passes, over thrown passes and a general lack of thinking by the QB.

In other words... your QB still sucks. 60% of passes require the correct touch.

It's kind of like a FG from the 10 yard line being kicked as hard as from the 50.
You kick it as hard as you need to best get it over the goal post.

Yeah I doubt Drew has a whole lot of velocity. But he can thread the needle and he has perfect touch.

Why are we even caring about someone who has no chance to be drafted by the saints?
