Maybe.

But I'd still rather have a solid, proven, All-Pro like Kelly healthy in a sport in which 2 players can get knocked out of a game in the span of 3 or 4 plays ...... if Bortolini is (at most) minimally better than Kelly, than having Kelly healthy and playing is better in the long run than having Bortolini playing and keeping our fingers crossed that he doesn't get injured.
