Chad Kelly becomes highest-paid player in the CFL

 

...Chad Kelly continues to have NFL dreams. As he does, he has a pretty good CFL reality...

...During the ongoing 2023 season, Kelly has completed 149 of 213 passes for 2,402 passing yards. He has thrown 16 passing touchdowns against seven interceptions...

Yep - serious.

 

Obviously - I am missing something.

 

 

He is the nephew of Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly. He was Mr. Irrelevant in his draft, but he would have been drafted much earlier had he not had several off the field incidents in college. I believe he was not invited to the Combine because of those incidents.

 

He showed a lot of promise during his time on multiple NFL teams but he was not retained, angering Colts fans. He plays in the CFL now.

Thanks for the information.

 

WHY did his dismissal from multiple NFL teams anger Colts fans?

Sorry, I was not clear. When the Colts cut him, that upset/angered Colts fans here. Many thought he was more talented than the QBs that were retained. Some thought he could be a starter here. They thought the Colts treated him unfairly.

Okay - now that I have some details to work with - I think that if I clear the cobwebs from the back of my mind - I remember some of this.

 

THANKS!!

      My before camp predictions

      No worries.   Wasn’t making fun of you.  If I had one dollar for every brain cramp moment I’ve posted here, I’d be rich!      It’s all good.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      I also forgot to say I think Buffalo will also have a down year.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.
