If they feel the shoulder is making him play differently however, it's not unreasonable to put Kessler in until he's healed up.

You know that I will give him the benefit of the doubt more than most on here.  And I will agree that overall he played a pretty decent game.  But that last drive where we needed him to make a play, he made a few horrendous throws where I had no idea who he was trying to hit.  I believe the one where he split two open receivers, about ten yards in front of him, came on that series.  I'm finally beginning to tire of him.  Unfortunately, I don't see how way have any way out of him either this year or next.

Oh there's a way...
You just have to eat a dead cap hit...
Which isn't really that big of a deal as some will make it out to be simply because if Bortles is here that cap space is dead anyway via his contract. If we cut him, we save money, and just eat some on the cap, the amount which has been debated I think is only 6.5 mil.

Seems to me if the team believes QB is a big enough of an issue and they made a mistake they can start to rectify that problem as early as January.
The question really is whether this front office (Tom, Dave, and Doug) want to admit Bortles ISN'T the guy and they messed up. Who takes the fall for it, if anyone?

In all likelihood, we see all of them return, including the Bort. Injuries will be used to excuse a lot of this season. Dave and Bortles (and maybe Doug and co) all get 2019 to make a splash or else 2020 is new blood. Just how I see it playing out as the likeliest of scenarios.

But it is totally possible to move on if they really want to. And it isn't gonna keep this team from making moves they need to make in the draft/free agency of 2019 and beyond.
