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.

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

That was awesome!

Kind of an odd moment I remember was when he threw an interception against the Oilers and tackled the cornerback who picke dhim off and broke the guys leg. He was a linebacker in a QB's position.

You sure? I'm not 100% sure it was the Oilers but I tried to look for a clip of that play and couldn't find one. ALL I remember was Jimbo hustling to the sideline to make the tackle and taking him low and snapping the guy's friggin leg!

It's Bills related too b/c Michael J. Fox had the size and speed to play for a Dick Jauron defense.

Also, we would've lowballed the Wolf during his contract renegotiation, before ultimately trading him to Dallas for a 5th rounder in 2015.

Damn I was going to say the Bills finally joined the bandwagon to take collegiate basketball players with little to no football experience and convert them to TEs but looks like I spoke to soon.
