Toxic Brotherhood: Jets’ Aaron Rodgers has had enough of OC Nathaniel Hackett

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers cannot continue to excuse the horrible play-calling ability of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. 

With a staff of exceptional personnel; wide receivers Garrett Wilson, Malachi Corley, Xavier Gipson, and Mike Williams, plus running backs Breece Hall, and Braelon Allen (who doesn’t even get the ball), there is no reason Hackett went nearly the entire first quarter without a first down.

54 masterful (sarcasm) pass plays yielded a measly 29 completions, three interceptions, three sacks, and four offensive turnovers. The two Rodgers’ touchdown passes were a result of improvise and impeccable accuracy, and not Hackett’s play design. Besides the cry for brotherhood, there’s literally been nothing to praise Hackett about this season.

Ultimately, fans want Hackett out, and none of Rodgers’ aimless rebuttals will suffice anymore. Rodgers’ gray-face prestige and zeal are the sole reasons Hackett has not been removed. After a 2-3 start, with clear offensive deficiencies, there’s literally no where else to place the blame but directly on Hackett’s shoulders.
