I wonder if its a case of not thinking they could beat Winnipeg with Dukes. If they had to pull Kelly for a concussion in a playoff game then it becomes a league doctors thing and likely he wouldn't have got clearance to play in the Grey Cup. 

I agree 100%.  He was a big part of the turnaround.  Not because he was great but because he was an adequate quarterback playing for a team with a long history of lackluster to inept play from the position. And it certainly helped early on in his career for us that he delivered the ball quickly. That changed everything for us. 

Kelly is now saying he essentially played the whole game with a concussion. One that occurred early in the first half but he can't identify the hit or the play as to when it happened.   If he's not just making excuses which would be well within his character you have to wonder if it was a case of him being too selfish to tell the medical staff and the coaches or if he told them and they put his health at risk by not putting him into concussion protocol and removing him from the game. 
I see three scenarios.
1. He's an excuse making wuss.
2. He's selfish and not a team player.
3. The team should be investigated for abuse of a player.

Not only that but an excuse for his performance. That's not leadership.  If you're not pulling yourself out of the game for an injury you need to take responsibility for your performance.

The guy was nothing special outside of the one season where he came into camp in terrific shape and actually had some mobility.  That was the one year he threw for more than 4000 yards and more then 18 touchdowns.  He threw 28.  The other seasons he was simply an improvement over what we were used to and helped the team to be respectable. I’d take Kevin Glenn over Matt Nichols for sure. Even so I’m eternally greatfull for what he did for the team by helping to get us to the point where we were on the cusp of being great.

I bet Kelly is so concussed he won't be able to make it to the stage to accept his award 🤣

I was feeling sorry for him until he conveniently used it as an excuse for immediately vacating the field instead of shaking hands. That's when narcissist alarm bells began blaring in my character assessment portion of my amygdala.

Chad Kelly now stating that he did not make poor decisions, he was concussed and that is why he would not shake hands as well. He does not know when the concussion happened or when he first noticed it...but concussed. I'm not calling him a liar but I've smelled fishing trawlers that smelled less fishy.

Interesting stat from this article:
Against Toronto last week, Philpot caught five passes for 42 yards but, incredibly, he averaged less than a yard per reception in the actual air.

To be fair to Matt, he was a huge part of turning this franchise around and having it blend into the current run we're on. He doesn't get hurt, we may not even have won a Cup yet.

Montreal had 197 net offensive yards vs Toronto.  Montreal is quarterbacked by a game manager and they are essentially a game manager team. In most cases they lose to good teams and beat all mediocre to bad teams. Winnipeg needs to avoid beating themselves and they will win this game.

Once Matt Nichols suffered some injuries he was basically at Fjardo's level. Once he no longer had Winnipeg to make him look decent he couldn't stay in the league. And it wasn't age he's only a year older than Zach.  But at his best he was probably a little bit better than Fajardo.
