Poll: Would you like to see Chad Kelly in a Bills uniform?

Jan. 12, 2016

While watching the College National Football Championship on Monday night, I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if Clemson had Chad Kelly playing quarterback for the Tigers.

In 2014 Chad was kicked off the Clemson team for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Clemson coach Bo Sweeny said "I hope he will mature and grow from this and become the man and player I know he can be.”

Well, it looks like he's matured like a fine wine and he's also done a pretty good job of redeeming himself. In fact, only one quarterback and one team can say they beat Alabama this year - Chad Kelly and the Ole Miss Rebels.

While everyone is calling DeShaun Watson the greatest show on earth - and I have to admit that his performance was unbelievable and he deserves all the praise he’s getting - Chad’s performance against Alabama during the season and Oklahoma State in the Sugar Bowl show that he’s also the real deal.

Although it's exciting to see a QB run the ball and give his team a dual threat, nothing is more important than a QB who knows when to run and when to sit in the pocket and deliver a pass. This is even more important in the NFL. Running QB’s don’t always last very long in the NFL. Just ask RGIII.

It would have been interesting to see Chad enter the NFL draft this year, but he’s decided to stay with the Rebels for his senior year, which is probably the best decision he could make. Earn your degree because a career in the NFL can be very short. The extra year will give him even more experience and a better chance of being a high first round pick in 2017.

I know the possibility of Buffalo drafting him will be slim, and maybe I’m just dreaming when I say this, but wouldn’t it be nice to see Chad in a Bills uniform? He’s a rebel and gambler…..just like his Uncle Jim Kelly was when he came to Buffalo. We all know how that story ended. Now we need a sequel.
