    Jim Kelly Doesn't Feel Tyrod is a Franchise QB

    Saw on ESPN...

    Not sure I agree with him coming out and saying that even though it's true. The fan base is divided and for all we know, OBD is as well. I think OBD is going to try to see if they can get Romo or Cousins before giving Tyrod the keys to the boat, which they'll probably have to do since there isn't anyone else out there.

    I think Jim Kelly destroyed what little intelligence he had with severe alcohol abuse.

      Does anybody think Tyrod is a 'franchise' QB?

        Kelly was always quick to rah rah the next guy selected during the drought. And he was a tebow fan So Kelly's qb evaluations aren't great.

          Jimbo is nothing more than a glorified Bills fan now.

            He's right. What has Tyrod shown to prove otherwise? That he can scramble and make miracle throws? Yipeee. He can't stand in the pocket and throw an 8 yard out pattern without hitting someone in the 4th row, or bouncing it in the turf.

              Yep, as many here have said Tyrod isn't good enough as a passer.

                Considering how much the Bills do for him, he's gotta stay clear of this ****. I think he endorsed Trent Edwards so his views are skewed anyways but he's too close to the team to create these types of headlines.
                I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                It was all                 true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                 mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                  I don't mind Jim saying it but what I do mind the closeness he has with the team. As honestly I hate seeing him on the sidelines during games etc. because see no reason for it unless they want him to lead the charge for the new Jills.

                    Re: Jim Kelly Doesn't Feel Tyrod is a Franchise QB

                    TT isn't the answer, but the team is showing its cards that it wants continuity by keeping whaley and Brandon.

                    as a result, if you are trying to keep continuity and potentially keep lynn AND you have the lowly goal of simply making the playoffs, guess what? TT is the best option. there are no FA qbs (romo won't last a season here, we know this), the draft has a lot of qbs, but no obvious starters. TT's bonus isn't that much for who he is. $20MM for a mid level .500 qb is about right.

                    Agreeing to pick up TT's option isn't an endorsement that he can do much more, but keeping him is essentially what the bills are suggesting when they say "continuity". if they don't, to me, that's another sign that they have no idea what they are doing. instead they are opting for significant dead cap space by cutting him. they will have to get a Vet FA, which aside from romo are not starting qbs. and romo is way too expensive and likely will require a trade. so you want to spend a draft pick on a one season qb. that continues a cycle of chasing and continues the pattern of not planning. And at that point we know "continuity" simply means "protectionism" of the front office. and that will be very hard to stomach for one more season.

                          Kelly was on the local radio.

                          His talk was more about getting plays with your arm on 3rd down to keep drives alive and move the chains at key moments. He basically said the Bills are not getting that from Taylor and insinuated they need to add to Jones with a couple fresh faces and see if one can be that guy. Doesn't see it with TT and of course Manuel wasn't even mentioned.

                            Agreed on him being an official cheerleader since he's still getting paid (I think). He has indeed supported some ****ty QB's before.

                            But

                            With all that said he's right. Taylor is not the answer.

                              He's not a top tier QB but he's all we have for now because there is nothing better on the team, in FA, or the draft.
