Won't Find Better Arm Talent for Cheaper
The best value in QB's right now just became

Jim Kelly's nephew.
Lets allow the full story to come out, but suppose weed is legal in your state and you know how to beat the test at level one of testing program, or that moderate use will not show up.
Now...I know how bad this looks, but loosing your wits while a young man while intoxicated on something does happen. The kid is a wild one, he has big issues, and now he crashed over another one. The Chicago Bears might not be the right place to experiment with whether he can get it this time, but with big risk comes big reward. Sometimes you need big balls.
Trubisky. Daniel. Kelly.
Suddenly the QB room doesn't look so bad with a straight arrow, hard working mental giant, a funny veteran with knowledge of system, and then a young gun with unlimited potential, size, rocket arm, everything.
And a bad rap. My case is this, Trubs and Daniel would show him the way.
THIS IS HIS FIRST HICCUP WITH MONEY IN HIS POCKET, but a guy like him had that reputation coming in and doesn't even get his fair second chance.
I have actually done this before when I was 25 or so and been so drunk I went into the wrong apartment next door, didn't realize until the next morning. He wasn't stealing, he wasn't aware of what he was doing...
and while that is a bad mistake and everyone says well this guy should be perfect...how many other guys in the league make the same mistake with pain killers and alcohol, or might take an edible MMJ dose if they were in Denver, etc etc...
he had a bad reaction, had too much...whatever it was...his charges are much worse than what happened and I would guess most will be dropped. It might take a year, but hell if we are on hard knocks it would be a cool storyline too.
I think Nagy, Trubisky, Daniel are the right example and leadership for the guy. I say pick him up in off-season but be the first one sniffing on his door offering that last chance.
Best case I can make for the guy, and its not that good. I know what most of you "straight perfect arrows" are going to say, but this kid is absolutely a value.. You could get him at the minimum for 2 years and he is in a position where he has to shut-up and sit in the back and never say a peep until he is needed.
