- Cheap  (much cheaper than what the Jags are paying the starter to get basically the same results)
- Able to play steady, spot duty if the starter gets hurt.
        - basic, game-managing, play calls
        - safe, accurate passing
        - not take too many risks and make killer mistakes

A guy like that can manage to get the team a couple wins if the starter is out for 3-4 weeks as long as the defense plays well.

You guys that are trying to compare Kessler to Bortles are crazy, IMO.

Kessler is a cheap, backup caliber QB. That's all he is.
Bortles is expensive,, paid to be the "man".

The bar for Bortles is and should be set much higher (obviously).

They're both backups at this point.
