Kessler has a future!

I'm not calling for Kessler to start either (yet) and I agree that Bortles leadership and toughness are attributes that carry value but are impossible to quantify...but I do think if you're purely matching up their ability to throw the football Kessler is superior. Let's look at each of their rate+ stats (rate stats adjusted so 100 is league average) from the last time they had reasonable sample sizes.

Bortles 2017 - Y/A+ 99, ANY/A+ 102, Comp%+ 91, TD%+ 97, INT%+ 97, Passrating+ 95
Kessler 2016 - Y/A+ 98, ANY/A+ 96, Comp%+ 112, TD% 85, INT%+ 124, Passrating+ 105

As you can see they were both pretty league average for the most part. Blake being a tad below average overall but especially with completion percentage. Kessler however was excellent at two stats that I think our team should value extra high considering our ball control/defense philosophy, completion percentage and interceptions.

Again I'm not calling for Kessler to start, but if he were forced into action I don't think we would lose very much and there's a chance we could even string together some more sustained drives and have fewer of those bone crushing decision making turnovers.
