Overvaluing mediocre QB talents because they came from USC is a tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue Jackson actually managed to do worse his second season. Hue Jackson still has a job. And don’t forget he stumped for AJ McCarron for 2.1 Then got Sashi Brown fired for blocking that move. Only to watch every team needing a QB pass on him until BUF took him as a backup. Hue & Jimmy Haslem. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistakey Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 shellshocked young kid who pretty much regressed like 9 million percent in year 2. he was given first crack at the starting job in camp and then pretty much lost it to hogan, osweiler and then kizer. i suspect he did well in season 1 mainly cause we were down so much and everyone was playing prevent. he plays hard though. just.. not... great. or good even.

Assuming they make the playoffs at worst JAX gave up the right to choose from 12 players before teams get UDFA picks. Kessler is a meh backup but there are actually worse ones out there (they were wearing DEN jerseys last year lol). Having him cheap for 2 yrs and getting him to join now to learn the system makes sense. I get CLE already decided with their rookie and now Drew Stanton. So anything is a bonus. This is as close to a plane ticket and a bucket of balls as it gets though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Kessler fits the mould of the next long term NFL backup QB. This should probably kill of any chance of them taking a QB in the first few rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Kessler and Kizer instead of Wentz and Watson. Good call. Good call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 5 hours ago, BleedTheClock said: That's a good trade for the Jaguars. He's not very good, but he's a decent #2 QB in case of an emergency. Has some untapped potential. It is a fine deal for some insurance and a cheap contract on a guy who has some NFL experience, but does he really have much "untapped potential" to speak of? He's on a solid trajectory to cash a number of paycheques in the NFL as a long-time #2/3 clipboard holder, but has there really been anything in his college tape or Cleveland experience that suggests he's ever going to be anything more than a serviceable backup in an emergency, with a wet noodle for an arm? 1 hour ago, paul-mac said: Kessler fits the mould of the next long term NFL backup QB.

It's not like they're making a huge investment in Kessler with a conditional 7th a year from now. If there's a guy in the top few rounds with serious starting QB upside that they like at their pick, swapping a nothing pick for a low upside, career backup trajectory 2nd/3rd stringer like Kessler doesn't seem likely to stop them. I think more than anything...it might make them slightly less likely to develop an itchy trigger finger and overdraft somebody in the mid/late rounds just to get a 2nd QB on the roster before camp.
