Derek Carr isn't an NFL quarterback because he only throws one deep route

Derek Carr. Oh, okay. There we go... I watched all their games. He's only throwing one big dig. Right? One big end. That's what we call it. Right? You clear it out, you fill the date behind it. Right. If you can only do that one time in 6, 7 games, I don't know what, how you're supposed to say you're an NFL quarterback right now.

Subjective evaluation of talent, though Carr has remained a starter in the league for years afterward.

Stuffing should be an all-year-round food, not just for the holidays

Stuffing should be year round. It should not be limited to the holidays. Big time. I love stuffing. It's maybe my favorite dish. Favorite side dish. It just, I would like to enjoy stuffing occasionally in the autumn, in the spring, in the summertime.

The culinary value of stuffing is subjective.

The 49ers are the scariest team in the NFL

The Niners are the scariest team in the NFL. I know. That doesn't mean they're the best. They're the scariest... when they're right and it's more, it's probably more about Kyle Shanahan's system and what, you know, when the blocks are correct and, and everything's working. It's basically feels unstoppable.

The 49ers did reach the NFC Championship game this season, proving they were a top contender.

The Patriots will beat the Vikings on Thanksgiving because Minnesota was looking ahead

I'm taking Patriots money line... I think this is gonna be a shootout. Two great teams. Vikings, Kirk Cousins elite. They're gonna have a bounce back game after, you know, got a little bit caught off guard. A little bit of a trap game knowing that they had this game coming up on Thanksgiving. Kind of a look ahead and I think Mac Jones gonna ball out again.

The Vikings beat the Patriots 33-26 on Thanksgiving.

I can read defensive progressions at a higher level than half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL

How many NFL teams do you think you could start for now... I believe I can read that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed [better than half the league]... It's the ability to read down the field progressions... I can honestly say that I believe I can read that at that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed.

While subjective, Kelly has not been signed by an NFL team since this take, and while he won the CFL MVP in 2023, he hasn't had the chance to prove it against NFL competition.

Lamar Jackson isn't worth $200 million guaranteed because offensive coordinators prefer passers

If we were to pull up [Lamar Jackson's] best game, you would probably be like, all right, do you really pay him 200 million? Guaranteed... a lot of offensive coordinators they want to throw the ball.

Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million deal with $185 million guaranteed shortly after this and won his second MVP in 2023, largely disproving the idea he wasn't worth a massive guarantee.

I could start over 50% of current NFL quarterbacks because I know the game better than they do

How many quarterbacks in the NFL right now do you think that you could start over? [Chad]: 50%... I feel like I know the game a lot more than a lot of people. Cuz I started at such a young age and that's all I knew in order to, you know, make it in life. I thought it was just to play in the NFL really.

Kelly has not returned to the NFL since this statement to prove he can start over 50% of the league's QBs.
