Even if we hand the reigns to Kessler for the rest of the season, I don't like his chances of staying healthy the rest of the season behind this o-line. I think we'll see Bortles again before the end of the season whether it's due to performance or injury. I think you're fooling yourself on his trade value. This isn't some new trend for Bortles. He's inconsistent and the entire league knows this. The coaching managed the situation really well last season, but when things are going wrong in other areas it can't be managed or hidden. He's a guy that needs everything else going well. Teams aren't trading a 3rd or 4th for that, nor should we trade him during this season considering Kessler likely not being able to hold on to the job for the rest of the season.

I'm not here to defend Blake. I've been on the "get another QB" train for a while. It will absolutely be addressed this offseason. But we're not trading him right now both because we shouldn't at this point and because no one is giving anything up of value for him.
