I've been a staunch supporter of Hackett all season while others have bad-mouthed him. I applaud his creativity and wise use of Bortles in the vast majority of football he called this year.  It's these isolated moments of going conservative and predictable that have me flummoxed.  There were too many of them for my taste and one came at a crucial time in a huge and winnable game.

Agreed!

He needs to create a different “default” to fall back on instead of middle draw, middle draw, pass on 3rd and long.

Maybe it’s Marrone directing the conservatism, I don’t know.

If not though, create a play-sequence that you can default to that is different than run, run, pass if you get flustered in a game.  Put it in your back pocket and pull it out if you’re uncertain what to do in a game.  The middle of a game is not the time to go into your shell.

He has a lot of the qualities you'd like in a QB though, and played well for most of December and against Pittsburgh and NE. I'd like to see the Jags sign him to a short term extension at a reasonable contract and see if his growth continues. I think if your Coughlin/Caldwell you have to consider contingency plans too.

Sign him for 2-3 years, take somebody to groom in the second/third round. Bases are covered, and hope for the best!
