Do this and you will be amused by some posts from the past from this very board and some of our past speculations. Go to the "search" block at the top and type in "Hagar Chad Kelly" and read some of the past posts and responses... I still stand by my assessments.
I have to agree with you on your statements in the past. He is NFL bound and we are better by having him as our QB. Of course, Hugh Freeze took a chance, but I don't think he had any other choice.
Everyone under the sun knew the potential he had. But I think I remember those posts. No, he is not Eli and let him win 2 super bowl MVPs first. Our offense is designed for a QB to produce big numbers. The game we knew then is much different now.
Having said that, I don't want to take anything from Kelly. I'm proud to call him Ole Miss' QB and has been tremendous.
