MJS Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Surprising for sure, but I never felt like Hackett was the issue here. 1

Marrone's offenses were never impressive, with Hackett as OC. Don't know if that is on Hackett or Marrone. We'll see how he works with LaFleur.

frostbitmic Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 This hire is totally Limburger... RIP career of Aaron Rodgers

buffalover4life Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I watched the press conference where they introduced lafleur. 23 of the 27 minutes were from the CEO, mark murphy. looked as if he wanted to maintain as much power as possible. hiring someone who feels in over there head and will not demand any control of the 53 man roster. That said I'm interested in seeing what hacket can do with a elite QB.

AND THEY CHOSE NATE HACKETT!!! The aren't even really words for this type of insanity. I am without speech. It really is mind boggling. His offenses have been brutal , I guess he had moderate success with Orton , but had Watkins/Woods/Goodwin too. it's really hard to justify this , downright strange to me they'd link him with an aging Aaron Rodgers. Packers fans cannot be happy

Still, I wouldn't want Hackett's fingerprints anywhere near my offense. Would love if Hackett was calling plays just to see the look on Rodger's face when the call for the third consecutive dive play comes in from the sidelines. Forget "pulling a Davis" and retiring at halftime, he'd create a new term and "pull a Rodgers" and retire mid-drive.

I used to argue it was Hackett and not EJ - a lot. Took the shock of hearing from some Bills players that EJ could not learn the playbook and that the coaches had to keep dumbing everything down to reading half the field for me to leap off the bandwagon. We will see what he can do sans Marrone and shoddy QB's.
RememberTheRockpile Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 For what it's worth. After Hackett was fired the Jags scored a total of 48 points (5 games - 9.6 points/game). For the first 11 games while Hackett was OC the Jags averaged 17.9 points/game.
QCity Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I don't think it's possible to ruin an offense quarterbacked by Rodgers, but this might test that theory.

#34fan Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Now Rodgers will have time to shoot commercials in the post-season.
GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Hackett rehabilitated himself last year when he did a really nice job in Jax. This year while the offense regressed it got obviously a lot worse after Hackett was fired. I am not sure he is necessarily the creative offensive mind Green Bay talked about.... but I think he has improved on the guy he was here in Buffalo. You have to remember that before Marrone hired him to OC here his only NFL coaching experience was as a Quality Control and Assistant QB Coach. And we hired him as QB/OC. He was thrown in totally at the deep end and while he sunk rather than swimming I think he has learnt from the experience. Is Pettine still there? Re-creating the 2013 Bills staff?! 1
CommonCents Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 They are trying out the Lebron approach. You’re so good Aaron, we won’t hire anyone that will get it in your way. I’m interested to see the results.
