[Moving on Is Jacoby a temporary fix? Are do we search for a new franchise QB for the future?]

Chad Kelly is your answer. He put up almost 800 yards passing in two games against Saban’s Alabama defense with average to below average talent around him at Ole Miss.

 

The only other QB who can make a claim to have over 700 yards against a Saban defense? Drew Brees at Purdue.

I have no feelings because we haven’t seen Kelly against the 1’s.

 

He can mentally handle himself against fierce competition. In 2 games against Alabama he put up 762 yards and 6 TD’s.

 

Kelly is going to be a stud for us.

oh and in my googling I came across this play from Ole Miss. Wow. Is that like a 65 yard TD pass in the air?

I've spent some time digging into Kelly's past because I'm intrigued by his play and I think his character issues are overblown. 

 

The story of him saying he was going to get his AK and "spray up the place" at the club in Buffalo a few years back actually didn't happen. The bouncer at the club later admitted that to get the cops to come to the club he would have to make a reference to a firearm, so he said that Kelly said that. That untrue statement attributed to him has followed Kelly around since it happened. Obviously if Kelly and his buddies weren't acting like drunk fratboys at the bar, the cops wouldn't have had to have been called. Nevertheless, he never actually threatened anyone. The bouncer made that up. 

 

Then there's the story of him getting in a fight at a high school football game while he was at Ole Miss. He was watching his younger brother play (who is currently a TE at Ole Miss) a high school game in Buffalo and a brawl broke out on the field and he saw his younger brother at the bottom of the pile getting stomped on so he ran onto the field. Clearly he shouldn't have done that, but as someone with a younger brother I'm not sure I'd be able to restrain myself either. 

 

Lastly, the incident in Denver was a bad look, but it was essentially a harmless error. Who knows what was going on in his head (because the toxicology came back negative), but he entered a home which was a few doors down from where he was trying to go. The door was unlocked at like 2 in the morning so he walked in thinking it was his friend's house. There was no criminal intent.

 

I do think he has had some maturity issues in the past, but hopefully getting this second chance will put that to rest. By all accounts he's the first one to practice and the last one to leave. When he's on the field he's electric. All of us with eyes can see that. The offense just comes to life when he's under center and he should certainly jump Walker. I'd love for him to be Luck's backup if someone takes Brissett.
