Chad Kelly’s Future in Toronto

I can't see any NFL team signing Kelly after this game, not simply because of his poor performance, but also he seemed to lose all his confidence and panicked as the game wore on, not something a NFL team would want in a signee.

Agree. It's the first time he started in a big game and he failed miserably. Incredibly bad and I'm a huge Chad Kelly supporter.

This is why I think Kelly should have started in the away game at Winnipeg. I was in the minority in that view at that time, but the game meant a lot to the Bombers, and it would have given him experience playing in a hostile environment under pressure.

I said it in another thread, and will repeat it here.... every great player in every sport has had a truly bad game. That's life. It happens, and it was bound to happen to Kelly at some point It sucks that it happened yesterday, but what if they had found a way to win, and he laid an egg in the Grey Cup? For me, what is important is what happens next. I think we can all agree to put the idea of Kelly going anywhere to bed. He will get his nice bonus in January, and I hope yesterday lights a fire under him to want to come back next year and atone for this performance. Remember, despite his age, this was only his first full year as a starter at the pro level. If he has the right attitude, and I believe he does, it will be all up from here.

I agree, but this is the silver lining in this shocking loss. If he had gone 450-5-0 both in this game and the Cup too, the chances of him bolting in January would have been much higher.

I’m probably in the minority here, but I would gladly give up winning the Cup this year if it guaranteed Kelly would be here for 3+ more years. He truly stunk the joint out last night, but I still believe he will be a superstar in this league.

There is no silver lining with this loss Rich.

I doubt that Kelly having a great game there makes that much of a difference, since the NFL super experts don't have any respect for great CFL QB play; however, if there was an NFL team who had maybe a slight bit of interest in Kelly , and watched tape of this game, that might have them waving a red flag and going no way - his performance was that bad.
