Yeah that probably comes more into play in playoff games or de facto playoff games late in the year.  I don't think you'd automatically roster 3 QBs unless you really liked your 3rd QB.  Who knows, maybe the Jags really like Rourke.

I think the Jaguars do keep 3 QB's given the new rules.  The problem before was to play, the third quarterback had to count as an active player.  It now takes the place of an inactive player.  On game day, teams will have two options:

Option A: 1 emergency quarterback, 4 inactive players

Option B: 5 inactive players

I think the Jaguars will opt for Option A.  

If nothing else, it will make cut day more interesting.
