If Tanner Lee is a major upgrade over Henne, and last offseason Bortles and Henne were about even, and now Bortles is by far the best QB on the team, doesn't that mean A: Bortles is significantly improved and B: a Henne level QB could potentially keep us afloat a few games and that's what Lee/Kessler are

The error here is thinking that Bortles and Henne were about even.

Mike Kaye (who has attended the OTA sessions) was on one of the local radio shows yesterday and said that if they had to start Kessler they'd have to pare down the offense significantly, and that if Tanner Lee had to start they'd really be in trouble. 

Granted it's early in the offseason, but that's his take on where these QBs are currently.

Whenever Henne did have to start, we really were in trouble.

Yeah... it wasn't that they were even... it was that Bortles was having a pretty bad preseason... but just about every part of Bortles' game is way better than Henne's. Never really was as close as some would have liked to believe.
The last time I felt good about Henne starting a game... he was a Dolphin.

So a guy taking his first reps in a new offense isn't ready to start, and if the sixth-round rookie starts it would be a disaster.

...this is unexpected how?

Pretty much par the course for most backup situations.
The only other options are teams that will be mediocre or bad no matter who starts...
Or the Eagles lol
