    Hall-of-Fame quarterback Jim Kelly has never been shy about sharing his opinions with the Bills organization. He has high hopes that head coach Chan Gailey picks the quarterback most likely improve the Bills win/loss record and, by the sound of it, Kelly believes that quarterback is Trent Edwards. "I hope it's Trent," Kelly said on Friday. "I know Trent, I've known him for a couple of years and I think everyone hopes that one guy will step up." This contradicts the opinion expressed by Kelly to USA Today in November, when he told the paper that despite his admiration for Edwards he believed it was time for the team to move on. "I like Trent personally," Kelly told USA Today. "He works hard. But he's had three years. It's time to find somebody who is the future of the Buffalo Bills. If I'm the owner, that's what I'm thinking." Now, Kelly said there are legitimate reasons for Edwards to play, like an offensive line that couldn't remain healthy and an offensive system under former coach twinky Jauron that, Kelly said, stunk. "Everyone talked about the thing between me and Trent and the bottom line is he didn't have an offensive line last year with all the injuries, and he had a system that I totally thought stunk," Kelly said. "It's a new start, not many people get a third opportunity to show what they can or cannot do."

    He also wanted the Bills to draft Tebow. Jimbo's got a million dollar arm but a 10 cent brain sometimes.
