If that's even close to being true, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.. prolly both..


Haha

It is possible that Nassib was brought in as a third QB with the intention of possibly sitting Bortles at some point during the season to prevent him from getting injured, allowing the team to avoid being on the hook for that $19M nut next year.  

Nassib is familiar with Hackett, Marrone, and Coughlin, so he should be at least somewhat comfortable with the system, and would be able to step in as a backup.

There's also a matter of Bortles' wrist injury which may have the team concerned.  

It was certainly a surprise that they decided to make a move like this now, unless either one of the two thoughts above have some merit.  

I don't think the front office brought Nassib in to be the guy, but he's definitely an insurance policy.
