This is why I still come back to this message board.  Thanks for making my day!

Quote:Then this shoots holes in the "Hackett was best so Blake didn't have to learn another system yet again" point I saw plenty of people make.

Let's not act like familiarity won't help him. Hackett knows Bortles strengths and weaknesses and should be able to tailor his offense accordingly. One simple example of that could drastically reduce the learning curve for not only Bortles but for the entire offense would be to use the same terminology that was previously used for like concepts.

Quote:More games than Chip Kelly.

 


you sure about that?

Hackett to bits

Hackett has been here 2 years and Blake actually regressed after 1 year under Hackett.

 

Note:   using the same terminology and like concepts also help our competition in scheming their defense against the Jags.

So glad we have the same coaches as we did in week 16-17. 

Long as we score and score a lot!!!

Quote:you sure about that?

You're right. They both won one. Uge upgrade he would've been.

Since week 9 under Hackett, the Jags went 1-6 playing against 3 playoff teams and 4 non-playoff teams.  Their win was vs a non-playoff team.

 

Under Hackett, the Jags averaged 20.57 ppg versus the 19.33 ppg they averaged under Olsen.

uhh what does win total matter for an OC?

Honestly, I am sooo disappointed with our DC and OC choices. I just keep on trying to tell myself that TC knows what hes doing just to even be excited for the next season to be honest..

Quote:uhh what does win total matter for an OC?

 

Absolutely nothing, unless they are winning because the offence is scoring so much.

"I am excited for Nathaniel and he is very deserving of this opportunity," Bortles said. "He earned the respect of the offensive unit in the second half of the season and we feel like we will continue to progress under his direction. We have been able to form an unbelievable relationship. Nathaniel is who we as an offense want to play for."

Good read. Pretty much reiterates a lot of the reasoning in the thread about the logic of going with hackett.


The one thing the articles makes apparent that we didn't really know, is that it looks like the hiring choice was marrones decision.

Quote:At this point, it doesn't even matter anymore.


We've entered the wishful thinking phase of this franchise.


The minute marrone was hired, it was inevitable that the oc and dc positions would remain as is. The chip Kelley rendezvous was simply a way to distract and make most feel slightly better about maintaining the status quo under Hackett instead of hiring a dumpster fire that would have been chip Kelley.


But who cares about the hire? Nobody, really. It comes down to bortles. Some want to look at the last 2 games as proof he has turned the corner and will be our franchise qb. Ok.


I also would like to fantasize that 2 games, one of which was against an awful team that was coming off the realization that their season was over and they didn't make the payoffs, proves that bortles is ready to take the next step.


I also understand looking back at 2015 with nostalgia. Looking at 2015 as a great season for bb5 is grand. I like to just think of all the wonderful td throws that were perfectly placed and were delivered in the clutch to either win the game or put us in position to win. Specifically, I think of the Hurns td catch in London to beat the bills. I imagine that every one of Blake's throws were that throw.


I ignore all the ints in 2015. I ignore all the passes that were just really 50\50 balls that were hopeful throws where bb5 was wistfully thinking that maybe ar15 or hurns would somehow come up with the ball. I ignore all the ints in the red zone. Or the fact that bb5 still can't throw a fade. Those things never happened in 2015.


In essence I'm just like a deep throw that bb5 chucks down the field. I'm a hopeful duck, fluttering through the air. Hoping for a soft landing. Hoping that marrone and hackett can blossom into playoff caliber coaches. Hoping that bortles will turn out to be a franchise qb because of 2 end of season games.


We'll all hope for the best in 2017. We'll all ignore the history of these guys. It's easier that way. It's easier to hope than to face the stark reality.

He did improve in one way last season. Less end zone picks, and pick sixes

We also have the same coaches that we did when Bortles had the 22 yard run for a TD against the Broncos with 14:10 remaining in the 4th Quarter.

For us to get rid of the coaches after that play would have been devastating to this franchise.   Promotions & Extensions are well deserved.

kind of like drinking less before one gets behind the wheel.

It sounds like some of you are extremely butt hurt.

Glad to see the players were respecting him as they won 1 game under his 7 game OC role.  They also managed to score 1 point more on offense per game under Hackett.
