Kessler the one bright spot on the team tonight

#69

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.

I dont think he is.  And I dont think you can look at the stats as Blake played two close games to the end while Kessler put up the majority of those yards in the second half when the game was already over.  We've all blasted Blake's second season as a mirage filled with garbage time stats.  If Kessler is better, it's at the margin.  He isn't taking a 10 win team from last year and winning 13.  And he wasn't leading us to the Super Bowl.  He isn't taking a 4 win team this year and winning 6.  Maybe in the right offense you can scheme around him.  An offense that relies on a lot of short quick routes where he can the ball out quickly and show off some of his accuracy.  Just like in the right offense, you can scheme around Blake.  One where you get him on the move where he has the option to run or pass.
