Dog. That's literally the point every person who wants Kessler is making.

They both can't lead an offense but one of them will be paid 21 million dollars next year. If there is no difference in your offense from your 21 million dollar starter to your 1 million dollar backup, you cut your losses with the starter. 

Blake needs everything around him to be perfect just to be average. Time to move on.

I don't believe that to be true as someone else replied to me saying Kessler is better.  If you dont think Kessler is better than Bortles well then clearly my post wasn't directed towards you.  But deep down I think part of you believes that or else you wouldnt have bothered responding.

As far as those wanting Kessler, I don't really see a difference.  Whether Kessler or Bortles starts the remainder of this year is irrelevant.  And in terms of next year we know Bortles isnt coming back and Kessler may or may not be here as a backup depending on how the coaches feel about him and his salary for that role.  But if Kessler comes back as our starter next year, we could be in for another long season.  Hopefully it's only because they drafted a guy who they'll let come in for some snaps each game to gain experience and slowly phase Kessler out.
