Option B: 5 inactive players

I think the Jaguars will opt for Option A.  

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

Nah, no one (or a very small number) is going to keep a 3rd QB in lieu of a position player. There's just no value in it. If you're needing a 3rd QB he's already on your practice squad or you've got a Tractor Signal stashed at your stadium.

A quarterback on the practice squad player can't be activated mid-game if an injury occurs to your first 2 quarterbacks while an emergency quarterback can.  That does represent value.  Again, an inactive player, by definition, has a 0% chance of playing.  Although an emergency quarterback is unlikely to play in a game, his chances are greater than 0%.  That's better odds.
