Jim Kelly, the Hall Of Fame and four-time Super Bowl quarterback who spent his entire NFL career with theBuffalo Bills, recently learned that his cancer has returned.

Kelly was diagnosed with oral cancer initially last summer and had surgery to remove the tumor and cancerous cells and then rebuild his jaw. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment were not deemed necessary at the time. But now the cancer as recurred.

Kelly will travel to New York City next week for treatment. Dr. Thom Loree, head and neck surgeon at The Center for Oncology Care at Eric County Medical Center, issued the following statement on Kelly's behalf.

I hate to add to this but it really is a hard time for the fans of us Bills fans right now.  Ralph C Wilson, Jr. just passed away, and everyones favorite player - or at least QB, is battling for his life.

 

For those who do not realize what Wilson did for the NFL they really need to go look back at the early days of the AFL.  They were going in to bankruptcy and Wilson bailed them out.  Wilson was interested in an AFL team and was denied the Miami team and could not get a team in Detroit (his hometown).  When the Buffalo option came in he sent a wire to the AFL commisioner that said to count him in for Buffalo.  $25k is all it took to buy the Bills.

 

The capital gains tax is going to be HUGE.

 

LA Times write up:

 

 

 

He was in the Navy, fought in World War II and more than once had a front-row seat to history.

"He was a commander on a mine sweeper, which is a wooden boat waiting to be blown up," said Joe Horrigan, vice president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which enshrined Wilson in 2009. "He was one of the early responders after Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was at Hiroshima after the bomb. He was on the Missouri when the Japanese surrender took place. And he would never, ever talk about it.

 

I'm too new to start a new thread, sorry to be putting this here.

Every time I see this thread bumped I expect to click in and read that he's gone :(

 

I read an article today that said a cure was possible for him with radiation and chemo.  Don't know what the odds are but hope it works.  Apparantly he did not have either before, guess they thought surgery was enough.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
