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.

I mean Kessler is a better QB than Blake. It's fairly evident. Kessler could have won the same amount of games last year as Blake did.

Last year, the Jags only had 2 games they won where the other team scored more than 20 (Pitt playoff and Seattle). In the Pitt playoff game, Blake had 214 and 1 TD. The only redeeming qualities Blake has as a QB is durability and running. Kessler actually has good pocket awareness and anticipates throws. He showed me last night that he can do well even playing against the #3 pass defense.

In his last 2 games against the Titans, Blake threw for 313. Kessler threw for 240 yesterday.
