    31 teams wanted nothing to do with this guy. Some with serious QB needs had plenty of chances. Why the hell do we want him? Will we look better losing with him too?

    No one wanted Unitas either. Atlanta thought Brett Farve could not play. 

  2. Williams has not played all year until the last two games. He was even inactive and I believe on the practice squad. Point being once he was allowed to play he has back to back 100 yard games and appears to be pretty good. The fact that CK is not being put in the game does not mean that he will not perform well. It is just difficult to break through the glass in the NFL although I am not sure why.

    He threw two great ball to TY and he dropped them. We played 4 undrafted free agents at WR.  TY was limited. I don’t get what people expect.

    Both passes to TY were terrible. Both were late. If he hits TY coming out of break the defender not a factor. The second pass was shorty. JB brings the defender back into play.

    He had no reps last week. It was not even an option 

    What does that mean? If Hoyer had gotten hurt would they not have played Kelley at QB or would they forfeit the game because he did not get any Reps. If Reps are important then how does he not get reps since he may have to play in the game. Hoyer was awful but you leave Kelley on the bench because he did not get reps? That explanation makes zero sense. It makes about as much sense as the excuses for Hoyer not trying to get us a first down when we were on the 13 yard line.

    Different eras and different types of players. You cant really compare. Back then Olinemen and Dlinemen weighed like 240 lbs.. DBs probably ran like 4.7s... Basically the she sheer anount of athletic freaks and competitiveness is far higher now than back then. 

    I use to think that way when I was young as well about players that played in the 30's and 40's.. But the truth is that their were a lot of great athletes in the 50' and 60's.  DB were not as fast because they were bigger. You could beat up the WR in those days. WR  had to be bigger as well. It would be hard for TY to play in that ERA because they would hit him all over the field. As for Oline in those days that had zero rule protection. DLine could slap them on the side of the head as part of their pass rush move. QB's could not slide to be protected they were full time players. Their was no in the grasp rule. You could hit a QB anywhere, High, in the head etc.  Unitas was throwing to WR who were being held all over the field. He has zero protection from the officials. He set records that were well ahead of his time.

    You do realize that Kelly didn't play against starters, right?  So, how do you make that evaluation?

     What I said is that Kelly is the most talented quarterback. If you look at the college statistics Kelly blows JB out of the water. Chad Kelly’s pre-draft workouts were better than Mahomes. Kelli is faster, has a quicker release Then JB. He is clearly the better athlete. This does not make him the better quarterback per se. Kelly’s problem has never been his talent it’s been his head.
