Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone announced his decision on Monday afternoon to stick with quarterback Blake Bortles as the team’s starting quarterback, rather than give backup Cody Kessler a shot against the Philadelphia Eagles in London on Sunday. The move was a surprise to many, but realistically it didn’t seem like the team would make that kind of a switch right now.
As I mentioned on Monday when Marrone said the position was “open” during his press conference, despite the fact that I thought they should move on and start Kessler on Sunday, I didn’t think they’d actually do it.
