The New York Jets might have made their intentions clear when they hired Nathaniel Hackett to be their new offensive coordinator Thursday. Since many people already surmised that the ex-Denver Broncos coach was originally brought to Colorado to lure Aaron Rodgers there, the Jets taking on a now much-maligned offensive mind led to similar conclusions.
Hackett is presumably a Jets coach because they want to engage in a trade with the Green Bay Packers for the 39-year-old four-time MVP. But even if the Jets want to make Rodgers their new signal-caller — amongst various other options to perhaps successfully replace Zach Wilson — that doesn’t mean such an outcome is guaranteed.
There’s a feasible reality where a Rodgers trade to New York never happens, and Hackett and the Jets are saddled with Zach Wilson — the former No. 2 overall pick who looks like a giant bust at the moment.
Naturally, such an outcome had folks laughing about the catastrophic possibilities for Gang Green.

The other funny option is Hackett trying to salvage Zach Wilson by quoting star wars lines to him. Just muttering "do or do not there is no try" in Yoda voice while Zach throws another ball at Garrett Wilson's ankles

The potential for a Hackett/Zach Wilson combo down the road is unintentional sports comedy at its very best. https://t.co/hYBMgXYSHl

I think the jets should run it back with zach wilson just so we can see another hackett/wilson duo fall flat on their face
