For the Chad Kelly fans

[BeanDiasucci]

It's nice to see that Chad will finally get his first CFL start today in the Toronto Argonauts regular season finale as they rest their regular starting QB in getting ready for the playoffs. Hopefully, he will do better than he has as a backup, Swag, 28, is 3-for-10 this season for 33 yards with two interceptions.  www.wivb.com/sports/chad-kelly-making-1st-start-for-cfls-toronto-argonauts-backed-up-by-wnys-ben-holmes/amp/

In other former Colts backup QB news, Jacob Eason is fourth string and on the practice squad at Carolina currently but got to play at the end of a game two weeks ago because of injuries to the other three quarterbacks. Went 3-for-5 in passing with one interception. His career numbers are now 10 passing attempts with two interceptions, which matches what Chad Kelly has done in the CFL.

Another former Colts backup P J Walker, actually beat Tom Brady, something Andrew Luck couldn’t, go figure

So he is behind another former Colt in Walker.

That is a viewpoint held only by the terminally clueless.

God I cringed when Frank said that. Such a weird phrase.

Have you ever thought about how a quarterback's brain is as important to his success as his arm? His ability to quickly assess and understand what he sees and make the right decisions? It's a critical part of what makes a Peyton Manning an all-time great. My suspicion is that Chad Kelly, despite abundant physical gifts, lacks the mental capacity to be a successful NFL quarterback.

Frank was still in shock from the butt-chewing he got from Irsay, most likely.  Had no idea what to say, so the babbling commenced.

Not really.   I don't think his comment is far out there.

"if chad stayed out of trouble and worked on his game more he would of been a good QB"

 

It would have had to start in college when he was at Clemson.  Had he worked hard and not lived the "college lifestyle" of constant partying and such, he would have been even better on the college football team and we can assume he would have been drafted higher than the 7th round he was taken in.  2 NFL team signed him so there were scouts impressed with him so If he had improved his game in college and stayed out of trouble he would have gotten more opportunities with NFL teams.  Maybe he would have been a good backup QB.  Not a stretch.

I remember people screaming for him to start lol. He’s finally getting his shot it seems

That is cool.  He went 4/6 for 43 yards as the backup QB.

Nice for him. Hopefully he becomes a starter there in the future as his days in the NFL are over. 
 

I don’t know if he ever really had the talent, but his crimes were far less than many who continue playing in the NFL.
