    25 Years Ago Today

    25 years ago from this day, the BILLS made one of the biggest franchise changing moves in BILLS history by signing JIM KELLY to QB the BILLS. After snubbing the BILLS for 3 years after they made him their 1st round pick in 1993, KELLY finally gave in and became a BILL (after the USFL folded), the rest is BILLS history. Among many other achievements KELLY led the BILLS to 4 consecutive AFC title Championships while commanding the leagues most dangerous Offense. What is your favorite JIM KELLY memory ?

          This is a bit depressing. 25 years running and no sure fire replacement.

            He knocked over my beer at the Pierce Arrow, and bought me one to replace it.

                i asked him on his old Jim Kelly show when i was like 12 years old, "why'd you play for houston instead of us." He was actually pretty honest with his answer.

                  Gonna go with his attempts on bootlegs, always fun to watch to see if he'd hoof it quick enough.

                    Beating the Dolphins with KELLY's QB draw in 89 has to be one of my favorites.

                          Where else would you rather be than right here right now?
