Thread: Could Chad Kelly be the answer to the Broncos QB questions?

I think they should still draft QB, or get one of the established vets, and hopefully Kelly turns into something. Either he'll be something for us, or one of the two good QBs on the roster could then be traded for something.

Pretty much my feeling. I still Denver needs to quit settling for projects and start taking the position a bit more seriously. Even if they want to keep Kelly and see what he's got i would still like to see us draft a QB high.

they're not going to do that-- don't sweat it. . . it's harmless fun for posters to speculate about kelly, but john elway isn't rolling another late round schlub out there as his starter after how this year went. . . not happening. . .

I said that last year too...

you know how the backup quarterback is usually the most popular guy in town? man, you know you must really suck bad when the warm-body 4th string QB, who's on IR, is the most popular guy in town. . . we have sunk to new lows, we're hoping for mr. irrelevant to save us. . .

I'm not a Kelly guy, but I think the key fact with Kelly, pre injury, he was a projected first round pick. Injury and personality issues are the only reason he went last in the draft. That's a big distinction from a QB who was a 7th round QB picked the in 7th round.

What was Kelly's injury again?

Dont play yourself.

im amazed at how much people try to sleep on the one QB who beat Alabama twice and had one of the greatest QB years in SEC ever.

People slept on Shane Falco as well.

Because of his Sugar Bowl disaster.

But guess what happened.

Greg McElroy is 29 and a TV commentator. This isn’t college.

That accuracy is actually really impressive, especially the threading the needle test. Doing it for the cameras and doing it when the other team's Von Miller is coming at your face is two different things though. I'd be willing to give him a shot because he was very highly projected at one point in his career. But I don't want him as our sole option going into the draft. I don't want to hang my hopes on him and him alone.

He starred in a C- at best football movie?

Kelly is a 7th round pick. Little or no investment. Better pedigree than Sloter. If he shows something worst case he’s 3rd QB. We ain’t making any decisions based on anything he is doing.
