When discussing Buffalo Bills quarterbacks, there is no question that at the top is Jim Kelly as the greatest player in franchise history to play the position. The question though is how much longer he will hold that title and if Josh Allen will surpass him by the end of his career.

This week during his annual football camp, the former quarterback talked about the current quarterback and Kelly said he believes that Josh Allen will break his records.

"And talk about my records, I knew before last season started that those records aren’t going to stay around very long."

Jim Kelly played 11 seasons for the Bills from 1986 to 1996 and helped this franchise reach four straight Super Bowls. He was named to five Pro Bowls and after his career was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In those 11 seasons, Kelly helped lead this offense, which was nicknamed the ‘K-Gun’, and had finished his career with numerous franchise records, including most wins by a QB, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.

If Josh Allen is going to break Jim Kelly’s records, the question is just how long might it take him? I make my predictions of just how long it might take.
