    I hope Kessler does well, I don't like that he's getting tossed to the wolves in week 3 - but we have no choice.

    Or he'll tear it up and break his leg in the 4th quarter. Seems par for the course.

    What line are you hoping for from Kessler?

    I was thinking something like 17-25 210 yds, 1td 0 INT. It's optimistic but I don't think impossible. Game manager type numbers

    31-38 410 yds 5 TDs, 0 INT ... One sack ,but it's not his fault.

    I am actually really happy this took place as it will show us over the course of the season of this young QB will be worth the time to move forward with. This team wasn't headed to the playoffs and certainly wasn't going to come close to the SB so it's good to see what these young guys can do.

    The guy was pretty damn amazing at USC and from all reports he is a very hard working young guy who comes early and stays late to both learn the system and also to ingratiate himself with his teammates. No reason at all this can't turn into the best thing to happen to this team this season as all McCown would have done was win a couple (at most) games and not let us know anything about how Keesler would have done in a game situation. Now we will see first hand and will know how to approach this years draft. This is a good thing in my eyes.

    Kessler didn't suck - 65 grade by PFF - but it's good to see that he's just a stopgap, because Kizer is clearly the #1.

    Too bad Wentz is the best rookie QB PFF has ever graded.. their 1st round next year will be down in the late teens, so we can either grab RT(and future LT replacement) or OLB with that.

    Off to grab Pryor for fantasy as a bye-week replacement..

    Top5 on 😧 Paea (84.5) / Kirksey(83.8) / Taylor (81.0) / (Lemonier (80.7) / Ogbah (80.0) --- a good day from the waiver wire

    For what its worth, if you take the first performances from our last 4 rookie QB's (Quinn, McCoy, Manziel, Weeden) and average them together, they pale in comparison to Kessler's first performance. And that's with Quinn's out-of-character, 2 TD and 240-yard opening performance factored in.

    If we're in the business of looking at moral victories, Kessler is proof of a step in the right direction. All-world, franchise QB? Probably not. But not a steaming pile of garbage, either.

    i thought he did good, considering the Dolphins have a nasty pass rush. He seemed to be a little bit too careful at times but that's understandable considering it's his first NFL start. It was impressive what Hue did with Pryor coming in to QB for a few series, it took some of the weight off of Kessler and you could see him play a lot more relaxed in the 4th quarter compared to his shakiness in the 1st quarter. Could it be that we finally have a coach that knows how to get the best out of his players?

    I liked what I saw out of Kessler. He calmed down as the game went on and didn't look completely lost. Made some nice throws and didn't make any glaring mistakes. Pretty accurate. Hue may have picked a good one.

    I thought he did a great job and we should have won the game. Next few games will tell us a little bit more. Right now, he is playing like a good backup QB and he will only get better.

    Also interested to see how things look with Gordon out there with Pryor and Coleman. Kessler will have some weapons.

    He played well.

    Well enough to win but our kicker blew it.

    I loved Kessler's rainbow pass to Barnidge for the 2 point conversion.

    That's exactly my feeling as well. If our kicker would have made ONE of those three kicks, we'd be sitting here saying that Kessler is a legitimate QB. However, we lost and because of the loss, we're still tentative about his performance.

    He did enough to win us the game. Yet we have once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, through no fault of Kessler's.

    Really liked his competitive drive too..

    Remember when he drove us down in the red zone and they made him take a play off because he was bleeding? I guess it's league rules that if there's blood you have to take a play off and get it taken care of

    But you could see how pissed he was that he had to come off... He was over there on the bench with the trainers and he kept trying to get up and they wouldn't let him.. You could read his lips saying "This is bullshit" lol.. The kid seems like a warrior

    Pryor scored on that Run TD so at least we got the TD

    Also liked how much you saw him clapping it up for his teammates, high fiving the defense when they got key stops.

    This kid is growing on me
